Ping and Math~

After reading today we decided to find out just exactly how many family members were in Ping's family~

 We grabbed our bear counters and made some counting mats~

 As the younger ones counting onto the mats, EK began adding up the groups on the white board~

 We also used our base ten blocks to build the numbers too~

 We thought we had a big family until we counted Ping's!

Great Math Day!

 

Color Pencil Drawings~

Today we read our book of the week, Ping, again and talked about the illustrations. We learned they were drawn with pencils so we decided to try our hand at it also~

We also painted hand print ducks and will finish them tomorrow!

Ping~

Today we began our FIAR book study on Ping. They LOVED it especially because the setting is so familiar to them.

After reading we printed maps of China and located the Yangtze River, we found each one's province/city~

We also learned all about map keys and made one for our maps. They already can't wait to see what we're doing tomorrow!
