More sprinkles, please

Today, Zoe had her first real math test!  Her teacher learned a few things.  First, don't assume that it's a good idea to give the chapter and unit review at the same time - even though one is easy, both may be a bit too much.  Second, the girl knows how to work a problem using the tools around her, but switch something up or require some conceptual thinking, and we are up a creek without a paddle...we muddled through, but wow.  That oranges word problem about got the best of both of us!

Using her number bonds chart (that's some hairdo, huh?)

Working a few things out on the board

I love this book.  Today, one of the things we worked on was counting objects (easy) and holding up the right number of fingers (a little harder).  Also, we had some geometry, measuring, and pattern finding with almost no writing.

Zoe relaxed with the Tag reader after her test.  She was laughing hysterically at Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and recited it all day!

Then we went to this awesome cupcake shop and added our own sprinkles inside the sparkly carriage!  Lucy added so much that her first bite was all sprinkles (but no frosting of course).  We had fun with Avery!
