Thanks for you interest and your advice. We will work hard and it will be ok because it will be fun.
Math is such an important subject and I just want to make sure that my son does not feel intimidated by it at such an early age. I'll keep you informed.

I have a 5 year old boy who started Kindergaten on August. Two weeks ago he started learning numbers 1-20, he needs to know counting and recognition for these numbers in English but his first language is Spanish.( We live in a Spanish speaking country) He has a test tuesday and that includes dictation, so when the teacher says the number he has to be able to write it. I have tried many things to help him learn, he can count but cannot recognize the number very well. I spoke to his teacher because I think they did not allow enough time for the children to learn but she just said that that is how they work their curriculum and that by december they have to be counting and recognizing number to 100. I am afraid that he will fail this test and that the next to weeks we will have to work # from 1 to 40. Isn't this too much too soon? I am no expert so please give your opinions and tips to help him learn. Thanks
