Using a Tens Frame- Adding
There is a lot that can be done to develop number sense using a tens frame.  For our students who are just learning to count, it is a great way to keep sets of objects organized for counting.  The first job for the student would be to fill the boxes with as many items they have (zero-ten).  When teaching students to fill in the tens frame we always work from left to right across the first row, then fill in the second row from left to right if you are working with more than 5 items.  Next, you can practice counting with as much or as little support as needed.  We will start to incorporate the tens frames in our addition work.

Activities of Daily Living (ADLS) are great skills to pick during this time at home.  This can include potty training, proper hand washing, teeth brushing or bathing.  There are a number of ways to approach teaching these skills.  Reach out if you are struggling with one and would like to try again during home learning time.  We will be happy to support those efforts when students return to school
