Here is Adelle from our East Casa classroom, building the bird’s eye view with the quantities from the Bank Game. It’s a visual representation of quantities from 1 unit to 9000, which are the cubes.
In the following picture, she is practicing printing the word “bee” by tracing it and then printing the letters with only visual support and the muscle memory gained after tracing.
In the photo below, Adelle has filled in the life cycle of a penguin, from egg, to hatchling, to chick, to adult penguin.
