The Connett Connection

Ever have a day, or week that did not go as planned?  Well this week has been that week!  All of us have been sick.  The older boy started it with a bad ear infection over the weekend.  My daughter started with a headache and soar throat on Tuesday.  I got that from her a few days later.  My husband stayed home on Thursday sick and the baby was diagnosed on Friday with a double ear infection.  So, we did not do nearly as much school as I had planned!

We continued working on sums up to five.  We did a Lego task card activity, which my daughter loved, to help review what we learned last week.  She built a math problem with her Legos, filled in the number bond and colored in the block strips. We have been learning all about living and non-living things in our science lessons.  We are doing a lot of sorting activities and talking about what makes something a...

Today marked the first day of Kindergarten.  We took it easy, only doing an activity every so often.  I'm trying to establish a routine so my daughter knows what to expect.  She thrives when there is a routine and I do too.

I had looked at a variety of Kindergarten math curricula but most of them she already knew 90% of what was being taught since I taught her all of the number concepts and shapes in Pre-K.  The one I finally settled with, though loosely, was Eureka Math.  It is a free online curriculum.  I am using it as an outline for what...

This year, I'm planning on my daughter learning her addition facts, up to sums of 10.  If she masters that quickly we will move on to higher sums, but we will take our time. I've created this addition worksheet packet which includes 53 pages of addition problems with number bonds, pictures, number sentences, word problems and games all focused on learning sums up to 10.  The following pictures are some examples of the sheets in this packet.
