Welcome back to the 10-Day “Coffee and Books” Read-Aloud Challenge. Today is Day 9 and the prompt is MATH.
Children learn so much when we read math stories with them!
Day 9: Math

You never know what might happen when you sit down and read your kids a math book…
Today, I’m going to do something a little bit different. I am going to share a super-old post with you. Ignore the cruddy photos and any broken links- this article is from very early on in our homeschool journey.
The post might be old and the links might be wonky, but the story is gold. So much learning happens when we read-aloud to our children, and when we relax and let the play and learning unfold.

Complete today’s prompt:
Today’s prompt is MATH. I hope you are able to find a book on your shelf, at the library, or by borrowing from a buddy.
