Dandy Dozen Day and Coming Up? Apples!!

Howdy All!!

Thanks for stopping by today. Dandy Dozen Day has come and gone and we had a blast! I think the kids really connected with the number 12!  Here are some pics.

We talked about the different arrangements of 12.
4 rows of 3, 3 rows of 4. 2 rows of 6, 6 rows of 2
...and may have even had a little snack!

I split the kids into groups and each had to find a way to stack 12 of the items in their baskets.

Marshmallows were hard to stack.

Oreo Smores cookies were easy to stack
in a tower of 12!

LOOOOOOVE this!! :)
And we loved Dandy Dozen Day!

Coming up next week with the beginning of fall, we have taken the them of apples and Johnny Appleseed and created a unit which encompasses and integrates all of our objectives for the week. I am sharing the 95 page unit in case you need something in the next couple of weeks!! Here are a few pics of the contents .












Lots of math and science!!

That's all I have for now.  I'll be back soon with so much more!!!  Have a wonderful week and don't forget to leave a comment!!
Joyfully!

Celebrating our 10th day!

Howdy All!
I can't believe we are 10 days into our school year already! We have had such a busy beginning of the year, it was nice to take a day and just celebrate the number 10. That's right!  We celebrated 10.  Here are a few pics.

"Fidget With It Friday" lends itself well to showing 10 of something made out of clay.

Using plastic bowling pins helped kids organize all the different ways to make 10

We created a "10 in the Tent" book!

If you want the free printable unit all about 10, CLICK HERE!!

So Tuesday will be our 12th day of school.  I created a quick little unit celebrating a dozen because the kids really seemed to connect with 10 last week.  I can't wait to try some of the things in this mini unit!

The kids will get a kick out of learning about how special the number 12 is, creating a "Dozen Day" book, comparing arrangements of 12, and stacking manipulatives into stacks of 12. Can't wait for Dandy Dozen Day!!   If you think you might want to celebrate Dozen Day, CLICK HERE for your free printable unit!

Well, that's it for now.  I will be back soon to share our small moment writing.  The kids are getting it!!!  They're really getting it!!!

Till next time, thanks for stopping by for a peek through our window on wonder!!  

Don't forget to leave a quick little comment!!  I love hearing from you!!

Joyfully!
