E couldn't join us for lesson today, since he caught up on a much needed nap. I intended to do addition and subtraction with the Jenga blocks, but while I was getting my tea, M arranged some of the blocks in a 3x4 array, and announced that he had 12 blocks. Whoa! OK, buddy, you wanna do multiplication, you got it! So I showed him how we write 3 groups of 4, and then we made several other "groups". After a while, we did switch to addition and subtraction, which we also wrote down.

Meantime, R was having a blast building with the blocks:
This got M's attention.....
Who then started doing some building of his own:
That roof turned out a bit too wide to span with a single block as he was attempting, so I showed him how to cantilever across it, and then he made a BIG BIG roof, and was SOOOOO proud!
Then we went out to meet E and his Imma and brother at the playground. A bit chilly, but a good time was had by all:
R did some impressive ladder-climbing:
