Hi friends. I wanted to stop by and show you all a few more time activities that we have used throughout our unit. Last week, I introduced time to the half hour with this large clock and these suns. Thursday we showed off our learning by sorting time to the hour and half hour and made these prince and princesses. These are a favorite every year. We also became time keeper king and queens and tracked our schedule … [Read more...]
No Worksheet Wednesday
I’m linking up with The Primary Chalkboard to show a few things we have done for No Worksheet Wednesday. We wrapped up fractions on Monday and started our time unit yesterday. The kiddos created clocks with butcher paper and sticky notes. We also created this large life size clock outside our room with sticky notes and tape! Simple and effective! The kiddos used it to show their time using their body as the … [Read more...]
Sticky note Fractions
Math standards here in Texas have changed quite a bit this year. We no longer teach fractions of a set anymore - just wholes now. I wanted to share a few things we did during our fraction unit. The kiddos started off understanding equal and unequal parts with Pop-Tarts. Afterwards we moved on to fourths and halves. That is something else that changed with our TEKS this year. We only teach halves and fourths. I gave each kiddo a handful … [Read more...]
Phonics made fun!
I am all about making phonics engaging and relatable. I mean, how many different sounds are in the English language? Too many for my adult brain to even get sometimes. I can't imagine how overwhelming it is for my kiddos. I like to start each phonics skill with something catchy for the kids to apply the sound to. Sometimes its a visitor, dressing up, play on words, or anything fun. Last week we had so much fun exploring … [Read more...]
Five 4 Friday and Freebies
Hi y'all! I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs for some Five for Friday fun! If you read my post from yesterday, then you know we have been all about shapes this week. Today we sorted shapes in to 2 groups. We sorted them together as a class using these shapes, and then the kiddos sorted their pattern blocks at their tables. They had to think of different ways to sort and write it on their t-charts. Afterwards, each table group … [Read more...]
Shapes!
In math we have worked non-stop on 2D shapes this week. We started the week off getting to know our shapes and learning all about their attributes. After reading The Greedy Triangle, we went over our shape posters and created shape cards for our math word wall (more on those tomorrow). We made Flip Its in our math journals to label and write the names and attributes for each shape. We also read When a Line … [Read more...]
Back in the saddle!
We were back in the saddle today! Those of you that are on Spring Break this week,...we can't talk right now. Even though I'm pretty bummed I don't get to lay in my jammies all day with my babies, I was excited to get back in the classroom. We started this morning off exploring a new sound! The kiddos had backpacks on there desk and a crazy looking teacher when they arrived! Of course we had to make … [Read more...]
Shape, Rattle, and Roll
Next week we will start our 2D shape unit, and y'all....I canNOT wait! Shapes are one of my very favorite things in math to teach! I wanted some fresh ideas for teaching shapes this year so I piled some ideas I had in to one big pack. I wish we had enough time to get to every activity! To save you from my rambling, I'll let the pictures do the talking. Here's a look at what's … [Read more...]
Number Line Thief!
Are number lines a big deal in your district? They are huge in ours! And I LOVE it! We tie number lines in to almost every single concept we teach in math. It's good stuff! Because they are so big in our district, I wanted a way to incorporate number lines in to our spiral time every day. Something simple and quick! So....I decided to use yarn and clothespins to create a number line across my board in the front of my classroom. Rather … [Read more...]
All about those graphs!
Hi friends! We are packing for a 3 day trip to Houston for checkups on Angel Baby, so I gotta be quick! We have been all about graphs in math the past 2 weeks! Today, we worked in our interactive journals! The kiddos always love to use these! In small groups, we played Spill and Graph! I placed all the cards in a little tub and picked one kiddo to spill them. We flipped over any that landed on white. This was a great … [Read more...]
OR Freebies!
This week we learned all about AR and OR. You can read all about our Pirate Day here! Yesterday we met our second visitor this week. Mrs. SmORe-gan! She is quite the hoot let me tell ya'. I used Krista's clipart to draw her sweet lil' self! She told us all about the sound OR makes, helped us sort words, and told us what we would be doing throughout the day to learn more about OR. After making a list of words … [Read more...]
Pirate Day!
Today was our first day back since Elsa froze Texas. I love to look at snow, it's beautiful, but I'd much rather wear flip flops and a v-neck tee! Although, the ICE ice cream we made was delish! This week we are focusing on the sound of /ar/ and /or/. Super fun! I LOVE to get my kiddos excited about new learning, and hello,....I definitely want them to remember 1st grade as their BEST year ever! I found this tutorial online for my pirate … [Read more...]
