One More Day

It was a big day for my second graders.  We began the day with a field trip.  We were lucky enought to get to watch "The Velveteen Rabbit" at the Arkansas Arts Center Childrens Theatre.  The production was delightful and the children were well-behaved.
We arrived back at school just in time for lunch and recess.  It was cold and wet outside, but they needed that fifteen minutes of playtime!
We had our Christmas Party this afternoon.  Excitement was the order of the day. The children cleaned their desks and played 'Scoot' until it was time for the party.  The following is the game they played-I had to fit in a little bit of work!



Included are 36 Task Cards which are color coded. Blue snowflakes are for counting by 2’s. Purple snowflakes are for counting by 5’s. Green snowflakes are for counting by 10’s. There are three worksheets for each. Also included is a task card recording page.

Long 'i' Center Games

Today was a typical Monday.   Wouldn't you know we would have a fire drill and a tornado drill at the same time that my students were going to Activity?  Needless to say, my planning period was shortened to about 10 minutes.

On a better note, one of my students bought 'Lunch with the Teacher' with his reward tickets.  He had me in stitches with a million kid jokes.

During word work today, my students had a new set of games.  Our spelling words this week feature long i.  I made this fun set of games to reinforce the concept.

The great thing about this center is that it has three different games.  Eight to ten students may  play at once.  Although I usually have only four to five students at a center at a time.  With this set of games, students will be kept engaged all week.  Also, on cold days, when we have inside recess, several students will be able to play.  

The games included in are 
'Go-Fish'.  
'Concentration' 
'Alphabetical Order'

All come with directions, differentiation directions, answer keys.

I hope you have a good evening!  Winter break is just around the corner so hang in there.  I am
