Marvelous Math Monday and a FREEBIE

Have you heard of this book?  It's a great and fun way to introduce even and odd numbers.
After reading the book, we made these anchor charts to use as a resource.  I created these songs to help us remember odd and even numbers - sing to the tune of BINGO.

Zero My Hero and a FREEBIE

We had a special visitor...
Zero the Hero!
He came to visit us on day 10.  He will visit every 10 days!  He will bring us something shaped like a zero.  He will help us with counting, place value, skip counting, and more!  
We love Zero the Hero!!!
   We enjoyed watching this video. It's an oldie but a goodie!

HOORAY FOR 100!

On Friday, we celebrated 100 DAYS OF SCHOOL!
We counted 100 fruit loops for our 100 DAY BREAKFAST!  We colored our numbers to match the amount on our string each day.  We discovered it took us 10 days to get to 100.
Eating 100 pieces of cereal!  Our laminating machine is broken so we couldn't use our 100 Day placemats :-(
Zero the Hero brought us a surprise!
It was a cookie cake with 100 M&M's!
Zero the Hero brought us gumballs, too!  We will estimate and count the gumballs.  How long will this take?!
This is the last page to our Zero the Hero book.
Look at our 100 Day Bottle Collection!  We had some interesting things collected.  Someone brought 100 wiggly worms!
Each student invited a guest to join us for some 100 day fun in the afternoon.  Here is the checklist of Zero the Hero stations.
The students had to turn the number 100 into something.

The students stamped 10 picture stamps to 10 strips of paper, then glued the strips to a sentence strip to make a HOORAY FOR 100 hat.
The students made the book cover for their Zero the Hero book.
They played Spin It to Win It!  This game can be found at Wild About K Kids.
Students practiced skip counting by 10's while punching the balloon. FUN, FUN, FUN!!!
The students learned many ways to write 100.
The students could help put together a 100 piece puzzle.  This station was completed early.  Apparently, I have lots of parents who love to do puzzles!  Some of the froggy friends were disappointed about not having a chance to help with the puzzle, but I told them we will do again next week - just the froggy friends :-)

Writing 100 around the world!

My 100 is...

As you can see, we had a wonderful, busy day celebrating the 100 way.
HOORAY FOR 100!!!

SNOW MUCH FUN UNIT IS FINALLY READY!

Here's a preview of some activities in my SNOW MUCH FUN UNIT.

Using a document camera, the form is projected and together we write the steps to building a snowman using strategies and resources - stretchy snake, sounds chart, etc.

The students spin a picture spinner, listen for the beginning blend and stamp the correct snowflake.  They have to pay attention as one snowflake does not get stamped.

The students pick a card and write the word on a snowball under the correct word family.

There are a total of 5 spinners.  The student gets some snow dough, spins the spinners and builds a snowman according to the directions on the spinners.

Students pick 3 cards of the same color and put the words in ABC order.

The students spin the spinner and colors the correct amount of mittens counting by 2's.

The student picks a number card, counts out the marshmallows, and divides the marshmallows between the 4 mugs.  Is the number even or odd?

The students play I spy around the room reading the analog time and writing the digital time on their recording sheet.

The students pick a mitten card, count each mitten color to write an addition sentence.

This is the recording sheet for Melt the Snowflakes.  The student picks a snowflake card, rolls a die and covers the correct amount of snowflakes.  Then the student writes a subtraction sentence to match the results.

WELCOME NEW YEAR UNIT!

I have been enjoying my holidays, but it is time to get back to work.  I just finished this little unit for the short week.  My little froggy friends return to school on Tuesday!  Here are a few fun things we will be working on.



Here's the finished New Year craft and writing activity.




The students find the cards with the matching pictures and spell a word.

This is the recording sheet for the Spell a Word activity.




These cards can be used for the New Year Countdown activity and New Year Count by 5's.


The students pick a balloon to measure using various non-standard units of measurement and a ruler, too.





This is the spinner card used for Spin, Count, & Color.  The student spins a number word and a color word.  Then the student counts and colors that many hats.  Game continues until all the hats are colored.
