So that's why we do it this way =) Like I said above, they definitely memorize stuff they don't understand via songs and such, but I make sure they learn it by manipulation too.Amy Mazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052176651841122314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872359089210030417.post-7573081767441568542012-06-15T06:42:24.275-04:002012-06-15T06:42:24.275-04:00What a fun way to teach counting by 2s!

We have started using sidewalk chalk outside and jumping to the numbers and it seems to be helping. Maybe skip counting where she jumps OVER the number we aren't saying???

Then I just said that the frog can jump 5 here, and now he jumps 5 more to here etc... until we got to 100. <br /><br />I really like how you did the 2 skip counting. I think I will add that in. The whisper part. :o)Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16370393893728279355noreply@blogger.com
