First week

Man the days are flying by....we are almost at the end of the second week! We have done a lot of fun things, and I am really enjoying my class. We are still working on transitions, but that will take some time...haha.
Some of our first week highlights include: All about me pennants, sunflower glyphs, favourite words lesson, and introducing the "dice game".

Colouring their "pick-a-stick" people

Dice game! Never had them all engaged at once! best and easiest math game ever! All you need are two dice, or even more exciting, DOUBLE DICE and a simple bar graph! Students roll the dice (or die) and add the two numbers together. Then they record the sum on the bar graph by colouring the corresponding square. The goal is to see which sum wins! All you hear as they play is, "7 is winning!" :5 is winning!" etc!
