Roll and Record

We learned a new math game today called Roll and Record.  Students roll one die, count the dots, and mark it on their graph.  They had a lot of fun with this game so I am sending an extra game board home with them!









Fall Fun

We went outside to take a few photos and enjoy the Fall weather a couple of weeks ago.  Kids had so much fun using their hands as tools (we have been talking about different tools we use in reading) to rake the leaves.  Enjoy!

Math Centers

Students have the opportunity to receive hands-on practice of Math skills during Math Centers.  They do one center at a time and have about 15 minutes to work at that center.  I change out the centers once all students have been to each center.  We don't always have time to do Math Centers every day but when we do, the kids really enjoy it!
Students practice making designs and challenging each other to name the different shapes.

Students playing Crash. Crash is a game that have numbers 0-50 and number words 1-10.  Students pick a card and if they say the right number, they keep it.  If they don't, it goes back in the pot.  If a student takes out a CRASH card, he/she has to put all of his/her cards back in the pot.

Students "going fishing" for numbers.

Matching Coin Game--Students roll the die and have to find the coin that matches and place it on the mat.

iPads--Students are practicing patterns but I change the games according to skills we are currently working on.

Students are sorting, creating patterns, or creating symmetrical designs.

Officer Foster Visited KM!

Officer Foster came into our room today to read us a story.  He read Fall Mixed Up.  The kids loved having him come in to read to them.  He asked if he could come every Thursday morning to read and talk to them about being an officer.  What was their answer?  "Uh-huuuh!!!"

*Side note-Officer Foster was at Safety City and got the kids all riled up by screaming,"Uh-huuh!" :)  They loved it and didn't forget it when they saw him in our room this morning!
