No Worksheet Wednesdays!

                               

Today I am linking up with The Primary Chalkboard for No Worksheet Wednesdays!

Today we took the time to review some good ol' place value! We whipped out our base ten blocks and got to work.  We reviewed place value, addition, and subtraction.

I love using base ten blocks because they help my students make concrete connections.  They sometimes have trouble with the abstract of math.  Today we used these, but sometimes we use the unifix cubes so they can pull them on with subtraction with regrouping. 

We will continue to review this skill until the end of the year.  So glad we were able to have a little fun with the blocks today. 

What did you guys do today for No Worksheet Wednesday?

St. Patty's Day Fun

Today we had a little fun in class with my St. Patrick's Day Read and Write the Room. We had so much fun roaming the room and finding words related to St. Patrick's Day.  My kids did an awesome job with writing, finding the number of syllables in words, and matching pictures to words.

Here are a few pictures from our day and the fun we had.

French Lick Blog Hoppin' Fun

Hi Friends!

I just returned from an great weekend in French Lick, Indiana where I met some amazing teacher bloggers!  We had a great time learning about new ways to keep things fresh and exciting.  It was filled with lots of inspiration and fun.  If you missed it, be sure to check it out next year.  Holly, at Ms. Ehle's Kindergarten, did a great job!

I met some wonderful people.  My roommates for the weekend were Latoya Reed with Flying Into First, Amanda Pauley at Mrs. Pauley's Kindergarten, CaseyJane Cooper at Wiggling Scholars, and Heidi Neels at Flipping for First. We wanted to give you guys some fresh ideas for the spring months in your classroom.

We've covered lots of skills throughout the year so one way I like to keep things fresh with my students is by reviewing skills.  In the spring months we do a lot of this with games!  My kids love learning about, and reviewing skills with fun!

We use Computers a lot because they really keep the kids engaged!

The kids love word matching games.

Bingo is another way we review words.

 

This games help us remember the important parts of a sentence.  We use our sentences to make paragraphs.

 
This was a quick peek into what we do in the long spring months to keep things fun and engaging. Thanks much for stopping by!
