We had an awesome Open House turn out!

I'll post more pix later, but here is a cute Math About Me in español :)

You can find this fun activity below :)

Dr. Seuss Math

We'll celebrate Read Across America next week, can't wait!  I love Dr. Seuss :)

I thought some of you can use this freebie.  

I used it in Kinder to reinforce sums of 5,6,7,8.

Just clicky pic above, let me know if it works for ya.

I plan to work on more for first grade :)

Dr. Seuss Freebie

¡Hola!

We formally began addition last week and I was playing with Power Point,

so true, it's much easier than using Word.

I finished an addition activity with this super cute clipart by Scrappindoodles.

Wow!  Thanks for the interest, would still love to hear from you!

And you can find it Here:)

Trash Can Dice Game

Joining the Linky at Little Miss Kindergarten.

This is a game I used when I taught 2nd grade.

I used the overhead projector, but a Smartboard would be even better.

Divide your class into 2 teams.

Choose a Team Leader (I usually chose someone shy).

To keep the momentum going, the teacher rolls a large dice.

The first team decides if they would like to use that number

in the hundreds, tens, ones place or in the trash can.

I ask them to huddle together, make the decision together, once everyone agrees,

the Team Leader raises their hand to voice the decision.

Repeat the process with the second team.

The team with the largest number wins!

This is a fun way to reinforce place value.

Students quickly realize larger digits in the hundreds place is best,

and smaller digits go into the.......Trashcan!

Math-Calendar Wall

This is our math/calendar wall.

My Kinders are very good at counting by 1's, 5's, 10's and counting backwards from 30.

At the very bottom you'll see some of the Mountain Math activities we do.  I must say, my Kinders are really great!

The Student of the Day is posted on sentence strips to help decode the name.  At the beginning of the year we look at beginning sounds, then beginning syllables, and now we decode by pulling the sentence strip backward and decode by ending sounds.
