pom pom numbers

Naters wanted to do Carisa's Pom Pom Numbers.  we started out with tiny pom poms, which didnt go so well.  i brought out my  Learning Resources transparent color counting chips and she did them without a fuss.  I bought these counters not sure how i'd use them but thought they were colorful & inexpensive and I must say we use them in so many ways!  This week we started with the Letter D from Letter of the Week Curriculum and i can see an improvement in Naters pencil and prewriting skills. 

thanks for looking!  becky
