Number Sense: Christmas Candy

We've had a pretty busy month at school.  We started the month off by talking about Veterans Day.  We made some cute art projects from Deanna Jump.  You can check out her Veterans Day activities packet here.  We made the cute soldiers and sent them off to an Army National Guard base for Veterans to see.  We also celebrated the 50th day of school.  We got all dressed up in poodle skirts and rolled jeans.  We made root beer floats to end the day.  We finished the month by talking about what we were thankful for.  It seem like Thanksgiving got here super quickly this year.  During the month we also had some guest readers.  My kids were so excited when 2 Minnesota Viking Cheerleaders came to our classroom to read. 
 
 
We also had our Superindendent read in our class.  The kids were so excited, they thought the President of the United States was visiting. 
 
We are going to be super busy from now until Christmas Break.  We will be going to a play, Little Red Riding Hood, so I plan on reading several different versions of this story.  We will talk about who the characters are in the story, some of the events in the story, when the story is taking place and what the problem in the story was.  We will also be celebrating, Holidays Around the World and we will be making Gingerbread Houses and a Gingerbread Man that runs away.  During our math time I have created some math activities that kids will do when they are done with their work. 


 Students will look at the numbers on the candies and put them in the correct numerical order on the mats.  They will record the numbers on the recording sheets.


 

 In the following activities students will look a the numbers on gumdrops and they will put them into the jars.  Even numbers will go in the even jar and odd numbers in the odd jar. 






Students will look at the numbers on the cards and will sort them into the correct piles.  4 cards will go together.  They will look at the numbers on the red card  and find the yellow, blue and green match.



Finally kids will look at the green card and find the blue and yellow card that is the same.
