Here we are putting our numbers in order. Since a different student was holding each number, we had to work together to figure out whose number came next.
We had to have a discussion about which number is 6 and which is 9.
Whew. That took some thinking! Now we were ready to count out the gems for each number. The students who didn't get to hold a number page got to count out gems for us. Each of these students was given a cup with a number of gems, which they had to count. Then I called for the person with one gem to put his or her cup on the number one, and so on.
Once we thought we had the cups in the right places, we counted to check.
The students liked this activity so much, we had to do it again!
Last week's Math Stations included the following activities:
(Teacher Table - Fine Motor) Lacing Cards
Roll the dice and remove the cube that covers that number. The first person to clear their board wins, but if you roll a number that you've already removed, you lose your turn!
Roll the dice, stack that number of cubes together, and place your stack on the correct number. The first person to fill up their board wins, but if you roll a number you already have, you lose your turn!
Order the numbers and place the correct number of gems, just like we did in the big group.
Computers
Put the puzzle pieces in numerical order to make a picture of a leaf.
Place the correct number of gems on the page, matching with one-to-one correspondence.
Sort attribute links by shape.
Sort bears by their color.
And finally, since we will be observing the tree on our playground all year, and Friday was the last day of summer, we went out to gather bits from the tree and take a class picture. I had to make sure to get the leaves of the tree in the picture, because they will be different the next time we observe it!
Here we are collecting our specimens for closer observation in the classroom.
And when we went back inside, we got out the magnifying glasses again, and inspected our findings.
Please remember that Family Reading Logs for September are due Monday, Oct. 3. I will place the October Log in your child's Parent Pack on Friday so you can begin on Saturday. Our September Awards Assembly will be held next week. Every child who has reached the goal of having at least 30 books read to him or her (and recorded on the Reading Log) will receive an award.
