At snack time children are responsible to get their own snack from a basket placed in the middle of the table. They usually take two, three, or four crackers, pretzels etc. at one time and then two or three more as needed.We had Puffins cereal and the children asked "how many". We said 10 was a good number of puffin cereal as they are very small pieces.
Eli carefully counted 10, but did so in Hebrew!!!
AH-aht, Shtah-yeem, Shah-losh, Ar-bah, Hah-mesh, Sesh, Sheh-vah, Shmoh-neh, Tay-shah, Es-air.
Eli loves counting in Hebrew! He also loves providing inventive Hebrew "translations" of English words -- in part because this frustrates his older brother and sister, who are much more rule-bound in their English-Hebrew translations!
