We haven't painted much yet this year, so last Friday I broke out the watercolors and asked the kids to paint their popcorn words. They did a great job, and best of all, nobody spilled their water!
Today, we played Popcorn Word Bingo. I think this one will be a staple, the kids enjoyed it so much!
This shows you how observant I can be. It wasn't until probably 2:00 this afternoon that another teacher noticed these two and pointed it out!
Math Stations this week were the following:
Put the number cards in order by tens, then fill in the missing numbers on the recording sheet. This one turned out to be super-easy for almost everyone.
Roll-a-Love-Bug
Students roll a dice, and draw the corresponding part. These turn out so cute!
Hundreds Chart pictures
Students draw a card, then using the color on the card (pink or red), they color that numbered square. If they finish, they will have a completed picture of a heart.
Scrabble Popcorn Word Addition
Students use scrabble tiles to spell popcorn words, then they trace the word, write the word, and add up their word score.
Students roll the dice and put that many counters on their picture. When the picture is full, they begin to remove pieces when they roll (subtract vs. add). The first one to clear their board is the winner.
Bump! They're loving this game! They roll a dice, and place their cube on that number. If their opponent already has a cube there, they get to "bump" them off. If they already have one of their own cubes on that spot, they get to put a second one on, and that spot is now safe, like a king in checkers. The first one to use all of their cubes is the winner.
Students roll two dice, place the counters in the tray in the correct formation, and complete the number sentence. This student rolled a five and a four, so she placed five bears in the top of the tray, and four in the bottom, then counted them to come up with nine, which she will write in the space on her paper.
It's hard to tell here, but the students had to roll two dice and use rubber stamps to stamp that many pictures on their paper, then circle the set and label it with the correct number.
And of course we couldn't forget the ever-popular computers! Thank you to Logan's parents for donating new headphones for us to use!
Have a great long weekend! Please remember to read to your child and write the titles on their Family Reading Chart. You might want to use this weekend to catch up or even get ahead (we already have one student who has met his goal for this month - Go Evan!)
