Number Writing. . . It's way more fun with shaving cream!

A few weeks ago, we were practicing double digit number writing during math class using shaving cream.  The kids had fun.  The tables got REALLY clean, and the room smelled great when we were finished!

Cute Outdoor Pictures!

On Monday, the kids will participate in a full morning of Thanksgiving and colonial fun.

In one classroom, they will do a math patterning activity that will complete their Thanksgiving place mats.  These will be nice keepsakes for you.  Here are some of the outdoor shots that I took to use as the center of the place mats.











Aren't they cute?

Silly Day

To celebrate the letter Ss, we had a silly day in the room.  The kids wore funny wigs, pajamas, crazy purple hair, backwards clothing and funky glasses.  Here is one little guy who was sporting some facial hair!
Nice mustache!

Monster Squeeze

     We've been playing one of the Everyday Math games called Monster Squeeze.
We have a paper version on our pocket chart, but there is also an online version.  Many kids played this game at the computer center last week.


     Kids usually like playing this game, and it can easily be adapted to make it more difficult.  A bit later in the year, we'll playing Monster Squeeze by 2s and 5s.
