Hi have a snow day again today so I thought I
would finally do another five for Friday Linky with Doodle Bugs Teaching.
I want to participate each week but somehow Fridays get away from me and
before I know it Sunday has come around again.
So here goes:
We finally began out
number bond learning this week. Here are the pictures of the kids number
bonds. We started with talking about number bonds and how they worked,
then each child made a number bond to use for practice. Since we only had
a three day week and Valentine's Day is this week I used red and pink hears
that I found at the Dollar Store for the manipulatives on the number bond.
The kids did great and we learned so much. Especially me since
during the lesson I had a visitor from our district office and a math professor
from the University of Delaware observing the class. Can we say nervous?
Here is a picture of our Valentine Party before the eating began. The plan was that the night before I was going to make and decorate heart shape cupcakes for the kids party. Well a meeting after school and running late it didn't quite work out that way. So I went to plan B. I made the heart shape cupcakes, took the frosting to school and we had a cupcake decorating party before the eating party. The kids loved it and I enjoy not having to decorate them the night before. Win-Win as far as I am concerned.
Here is a picture of the kids opening the Valentine gift I gave them. Before you ask no I didn't take a before picture of the cute bags with the cute tags I made on them. I went with the no candy gift this year and the kids really enjoyed getting and playing with the fun valentine items I found from Walmart.
What is in the box?
My kids are having trouble with questioning skills so this week we worked on asking questions to figure out the prize in the box. The kids played 20 questions and with the answers they had to guess what was in the box before I opened it. It was a stuff gorilla with hearts on his feet. I gave the gorilla to the kid who guessed correctly.
Snow on Snow on Snow on Snow
Well this has been my Thursday and Friday. We live in the north east and we were hit with a lot of the snow. I spent Thursday morning helping my brother shovel our driveway. It was the heavy type of snow and my arms have been sore for two days now. Don't get me wrong I love the snow, but it is getting to the point that we have not had a schedule at school in what feels like forever and I think I am officially ready for some consistent teaching days. Maybe next week???
Thank you for checking out my Five for Friday. Make sure you check out others links I always find some good ideas from other posts.
