Reading Chart, Weeks 11 & 12 - "Me" and "Can"

Pumpkin Math

We figured out the circumference of our class pumpkin by using a length of yarn. Then we measured the yarn using several differnt objects such as pencils, popsicle sticks, paper clips, unifix cubes, and markers. After marking our findings in a graph, we discussed more, less, and figured out that the smaller the object, the more we needed.

Of Ghoulies and Ghosties...

Lay hand down on black construction paper, fingers closed. Trace hand with white crayon. Fill in ghost. Use black crayon to make mouth. Add googly eyes. Voila! A "spooktacular" piece of art!

I was having trouble with the students covering up the words they were trying to read, so I bought a bag of those witchy fingertips, and now my class is using them to help track words as they read!

New Recommended Site!

This unique site teaches math from grades Pre-Kindergarten through algebra. What I've done is put a direct link to the Kindergarten page on my classroom computers for my kids to click on when it's labs/centers time. And, as always, if you want to come back later to this page but can't remember the site name, I've added it to the Favorites side of this blog.
