I was definitely inspired to go back and work with my sweet babies on this topic once we return to school!

Made me think of crystals! I think I will be on a hunt for something similar to use with my own kiddos. Greg and have seen his blog, you know he loves bright cheerful colors and ANYTHING sparkly! His manipulatives did not disappoint! They were so colorful and shiny. He really got the student to think about the problem and what it meant! He was very patient with the kiddo and asked lots of assessing and advancing questions to get him thinking. Greg worked with one kiddo who struggled. While most of his kiddos had the concept down, Mr. Than I was able to see Greg interact with his kiddos during recess and teach math! Reminiscing, that was such a fun night! I got to meet Greg for the first time, Erin Eberhart from Eberhart's Explorers, Laura from Kinder Kraziness and one of Laura's friends Elizabeth! Such a fun-filled night with a group of amazing kindergarten teachers! Then again a few years ago I got to meet Greg again at another dinner with more wonderful kindergarten teachers and we went and saw ICE! afterwards.ĭigressing, today was amazing! I got to have lunch with Greg and his lovely co-workers.
