Howler Monkeys

Yesterday we made this counting stick (an idea from my friend Melinda at Speece School).  Every fifth bead is blue to help with a visual representation of counting by 5's and 10's... also helps with one-to-one correspondence... we were able to use this great tool today during our counting time.

Today Asher was very intent on coloring... this has typically been of no interest to him.

In Science today we read about Monkeys and Apes.  Then we turned ourselves into Howler monkeys.  Here are two now:

Asher wanted in on the screaming-at-the-top-of-our-lungs, so Karis shared her mask with him:

I am beginning to wonder why I gave them more of a reason to scream through the house!
