Mason is a counting machine but relating those numbers to objects is another story so here I just made posters to work on our one to one correspondence.

Great little foam Bird House from a craft store, very easy pop in and peel and stick features:)

Mason the Science Kid!

Mason, is currently obsessed with two shows on PBS one is Super Why, which is a cartoon about a super hero type figure who goes into story books and helps the storybook characters spell words to change their situations (sorry terrible explanation) Anyway Super Why has a "super duper computer" that helps him spell. Mason made his own "computer" out of a calculator. Taking his cue I went in one of my teacher boxes and got out some letter cards hid them around the room and he found them and put them in his Super duper computer. A spontaneous letter lesson I loved. The other show is Sid the Science Kid, which I myself find fascinating the other day Sid made juice pops and talked about observation of the making and melting, cold, hot, etc... So we copied Sid and did this as well. Mason drew a picture of his observations and then of course we enjoyed the treat.
