Shapes

I realized that Elena was solid on triangles and squares, but wasn't comfortable with the labels and concepts for figures with more sides. So this morning, we made shapes out of the counting spindles (triangle, square, and pentagon for now). I made labels on notecards. She was able to verbally label all the shapes and got to the point of being able to sightread and correctly place the written labels.

Also, she spent some time practicing pouring with a funnel.
