I am so excited for a new school year!!!!

It was nice to meet all of you on Monday night! The first two days of school have been awesome :)

Around the World Math

There are 18 more days of school left.. but whose counting. The kids are restless and I have been trying to keep them engaged. So.... I have invented Around the World Math Facts.

 

 

I have the children move the desks out the way

They place their chairs in a circle

Grab a paper and number down

I place math fact cards in each chair

When the music starts they write the fact down with the answer

When the music stops, they rotate to the next chair

 

 

and then let the frozen musical begin!

(at least they are still doing math, right?)

 



It's always a PARTY

Everyday is a party in 501, today it's a glasses party!!!

 

 

 

(we are making glasses cool)
