Bug Lady

Today the kiddos got to explore the world of bugs and other AWESOME creatures in a very hands on way.  A big thanks to PTA for inviting the "Bug Lady" to our school.

Identity and Write Numbers to 100

This week we played an awesome little game called "Slap It."  Each of kiddos were given a stack of sticky notes.  I would call out a number and they would write the number on their sticky note.  When I said...."Slap It," they would all slap their sticky notes down on the middle of the table.  Then we would check to make sure we all wrote the number correctly. 
The super cool part was.....we were working on numbers up to 100.
WOW!!!

Counting Fun

One of the things we continue to work on in the classroom is one to one counting.  This means the students need to be able to count out the correct number of objects for a given number.  A fun way to do this is by using our numbers on the floor.  The kids each get a box of toys or counting manipulatives from the cubbies and start counting.  
It's a big mess of FUN!!!!

Fun with Letters

Does My Letter Say?

During this activity I have a letter taped to each child’s back.  The fun part is the kids do not know what their letter is!!!  HAHAHAHAHA  I give them a strip of paper with all the letters we have worked on so far, and they must go around and ask their friends…… "Does my letter make the" _____” sound?”  The other kids have been told they can only answer with a “Yes” or  a “No.”  Remember, we can not tell our friends what their letter is.  When the students know what letter they have hidden on their backs, I have them come to me and tell me the name of their letter.  They LOVE this game.
