Ways to Make One and Two

I want to help my children make the transition from handheld manipulatives to being able to do math problems in their heads.

Back to Kindergarten again

Wow! I have not posted on my blog in quite some time. At the beginning of the school year, I had taken a new position in Seventh Grade as a language arts teacher and was in the process of reviving my edublogs blog for them to use.

Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to create awesome resources for some of our littlest learners.
