Math Game

Today we began working with Base 10 blocks. We played with the real things in the classroom and then played with them on your Promethean board. Now you can play with them at home too! Here is a great website for you to try it at home. Have fun!

Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy!

Miss Simoncelli our student teacher has been reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar with the class. Today they worked together to retell the story and sequence all of the fruits. The best part was when Miss Simoncelli brought out real fruit! The class cut up their fruit, added it to the bowl, mixed it up and then the best part...ate it! What a fun and yummy way to practice our retelling.

"Eggcelent" Behavior

Have I mentioned how much I love Room Mom 101. It is a great blog filled with such creative ideas! Here is a new one that I am using in my classroom that came right from her. It is a new seasonal reward system. The children, when spotted being kind, using their manners, following directions and overall being a productive member of our classroom they have the opportunity to choose an egg from the basket. Inside is a special surprise. I have tried my hardest to get away from rewarding with food/candy so the eggs are filled with little toys, stickers, and trinkets like erasers. The kids love them and it was fairly easy and inexpensive. I know that on Room Mom she switches it up for each season and I think that is such a great way to change it up and keep the classroom festive!
