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?)

When I was in elementary school I used to have a second grade teacher, Mrs. Senger, who would braid our hair every Friday. I remember leaving school feeling so beautiful because of my braided hair. Fridays and school were my favorite because of her. Let the tradition live on... :)

Ash Wednesday

Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return. This lent let us ask not what our God can do for us, but what we can do for our God.



Tell Me A Story

 
I have recently put a story board up in the classroom. The words the children have been using are sights words we have been learning throughout the year. It is my hopes they learn how to use these words more often in every day reading and writing.
 
 
 
 
 
 
We love free time :)
