The Mitten...and a "freebie"

Today we shared The Mitten.  In digging through my supplies I found these amazing story telling materials that a mother made for me years back.  Her daughter is now an engineer with a baby and I don't think Jan Brett had even been written yet.  The children loved playing with them though and retelling the story.
Tomorrow cookies and shhhh...but our surprise visitor Monday is going to be a real, live hedgehog.  I'm so excited!! Below are the "freebies" if you are interested.  To see pictures of our class graphs look at the quick minute long shows posted from the last two days.  So much fun!  Can't wait to show you pictures of the hedgehog.  Michele

Jan Brett and the Hat

What a wonderful day we had.
It began with us writing in our journals about which we would choose...hat/earmuffs.
Each child had to share a reason why and then add an illustration.
Following that we made a wonderful class graph using hats and earmuffs.  It is hanging in the hall.
This concluded with us writing about our data.  We discovered 14 kiddos picked hats and 8 kiddos picked earmuffs.  We dug even deeper and discovered that only 2 boys liked earmuffs and only 3 girls like hats.  Hmmm!
We ended our reading with a wonderful sequence activity.  The class had to recall the title of the story, the characters and then the author and illustrator.  Using the sequence page we took this information put it in order.
We focused on the numbers first, second, third...
Tomorrow The Mitten.  We will be making mitten cookies.  Look for the pictures. Michele
Sorry no "freebie" tonight.  Just too busy and getting ready for progress reports again.  Ugh!!

Math Fact Practice..."equals" a freebie!

I am really going to push math facts when we return next week so I created some game boards to use in centers, indoor recess and at home with families.  I plan to get some mini marshmallows for markers and let the kiddos have a little fun while practicing.  Here is the complete packet and then a little freebie for you!

Click here for the freebie seen below this.

There are 11 actual pages of games and number grids for checking answers.  Below are two examples.
Hope you like.  Michele
