The Napping House

We played a game called attribute block matching and the children were able to use visual cues to match the blocks by one attribute. An curious twist happened with one pair of children...the "big" card was covered by a "big" pile of attribute blocks of all sizes and colors. Interesting thinking!
We read the lovely book The Napping House with a counting interest....after constructing (cooperatively) a poster of the sleeping animals, people, and flea on the bed, we answered counting questions....such as "how many noses?" and "how many legs?"
The counting jar is in use, as well as answering "yes" "no" questions for attendance. The children spontaneously constructed a very long cube tower, and measured each other with it. The tower was made, initially, to measure me, but I was only 89 cubes tall :o)
Until Next Time,
