More Spooky Fun!

 This is how we display centers in the classroom. There are 5 students per group. Each center takes around 15-20 minutes. Students rotate clockwise once the timer goes off!

 This was a center that we used to help solidify the concept of comparing numbers using < , > or =. I took clothes pins and covered them with glitter. Then I laminated a set of numbers 1-20. Students compared two or three numbers using the clothes pins as < or > signs. The students really enjoyed it :)

 Boo Bump was an awesome game that I found on TPT for FREE! It was a great game to work on adding three addends together, which is EXACTLY what we have been working on!! Students used candy corns as game pieces to make it more festive!

 I found this candy corn game on http://thefirstgradeparade.blogspot.com/. Students matched the candy corn partners and solved the addition or subtraction equations. Then students recorded their answers on the worksheet shown. 

 I was inspired by Cara's apples we made in September to make candy corn stain glass window art. Can't wait to add our pumpkin stain glass next week!

 This week we learned about the pumpkin life cycle. I found this activity on Cara Carroll's Blog once again! The students had to match the pictures and sentences. 

 Students also wrote fiction stories about bats as the Writing center this week!

This was our ABC center last week. Students took whatever their word study sort was for the week and then had to think of words that matched their sort. Students did a great job!

This was another Free TPT activity. The students had to match the pumpkins to make compound words. Then students recorded their answers on their worksheet.

Halloween Fun!

I can't get enough of Fall and Halloween!! Below is a picture of our ABC center that the students completed this week! They love this center! I put all those mini pumpkins with letters in a plastic jack-o-lantern(below). Then the students pick out 10 letters.Students manipulate these letters to make different words. Those words are then made into sentences. I love this idea. I make a builder for ever season! The idea was first originated from Mrs. Oakes Beach Builders.

In math this week we were working on equation chains and adding three or more addends. The students did a great job! After students solved the pumpkins on the page, we made our own number strings on the back. 

 I love this math center! Once again I make one for every season! Students take three pumpkin seeds and toss them on the board. Students are then asked to add the three addends together on a white board. This game is a big hit!

     Our Art center for the week! I love them! Super creepy :) 

Hope you enjoyed the activities we completed this week! Let me know if you would like any copies of the games or worksheets we completed :) Have a happy weekend!
