The last couple of days have been rough for us when it comes to working with Ryan on his numbers. We have been reviewing the numbers 1-8 and doing ok with it. He still has some trouble with some numbers. Our biggest challenge come when we try to go trough flash cards and ask him the numbers. He get very defiant, starts guessing and fidgeting. After two night of this and everyone getting frustrated, Chris and I sat down to talk after the boys went to bed about it and what to do to keep this from happening. When we decided to do preschool at home, I wanted it to be a fun experience with some structure and learning involved. This was not the road I wanted to be on. So Chris and I decided to stop the quizzing with the flash cards and go back to work with just the numbers 1-5 till he gets all those. Really, we are working with just 4 and 5, because he has 1-3 down pat. Today, when we sat down to do school time, it went much better. He started with his new number puzzle, then did his magnet pages for 4 and 5. After that we did these number sequencing puzzles I had made and then followed it up with a game of memory with the numbers 1-5. And since Ryan won the memory game he got to pick a prize out of the prize bucket. He really liked that.
I have to say we did a lot better today and hopefully this path can continue. I plan to introduce the number 6 again next week.
I tried to upload what the sequencing puzzles looked like, but it wouldn't work. So here is Mr. Zach doing his animal sound puzzle.
