Also, using the tactile approach embeds the learning in both the hands and mind. It’s obvious you are a born teacher, Luci. Great job!

I do something similar….it comes from a book “Number Talks” by Sherry Parish. (just throwing out another resource! =) This book is about helping children build mental math and computation strategies. My children use “rekenreks”….similar to an abacus, but made from cardboard, holding two strings of 10 beads each. Addition and subtraction are a whiz on these! Yes, I’m totally with you on the whole things of “can’t hold onto their pencils”. And I don’t really want to use crayons either, so…..=)

I even think I have some pony beads around here. Unless they all disappeared in the vacuum cleaner after one too many times on the floor.

An art class is a great idea. :) Hope these work well for you.

I teach 1st and 2nd grade, and am always looking for fun ways to help them learn a little easier. I’m seeing an art class on Friday with beads. Just don’t ask how many beads will clatter through the sweeper as we clean afterwards. 😊
