DIY Counting Numbers Puzzle



This video shows how we can do a simple and cheap FOC activity at home with our children. This learning material was done by my classmates and I which I feels that it can be implemented at home. All we need is cereal box or any box that can be reused. Cut it into strips and cut each strip into 2 parts with different joints. Draw the numbers on the shorter part of the cut strips and draw objects on the longer strips. Number of objects have to be the same as the number drawn. All you need is just half an hour or less to make this learning material. Similar commercial learning material are selling it for $10+ and amount we spend here? $0

Spelling!!!

I was surprised to see the way Kiern learned his spelling.



I wrote the words out to teach him how to decode the words and sound the words out and he went further to draw the pictures out to represent each word. I thought it was funny and interesting and a good way to learn spelling especially for a visual learner like him.
