Hello Everyone,
Today we reviewed some of the plane figures the kids would be working with this week; the figures they find in their pattern blocks. We discussed what an attribute was and what kinds of attributes different pattern blocks have. We spread out the figures on a large plastic egg shaped work mat.(Spring has sprung!) As we looked at each figure closely, we wrote down (with a wipe off marker) the attributes we discovered, including numbers of sides and vertices.
One of the activities in my math tubs this week is a game called Egg Toss Tally. I simply took an egg carton, put the pattern block figures in the cups. The kids have to toss a ball into the egg carton. count up the number of sides on the shape in the cup where the ball lands and record it. Toss the ball 4 times and then add all four tosses together. (A little plane figure practice and a little addition practice all wrapped up into one activity!)

Stay tuned for more math fun........and a little fun from that boy who wished he had duck feet! HUH?? :)
Till then, thanks for stopping by our little window! It's a wonder-filled view!
Joyfully!

Hello Everyone,
Just a super quick post today. My little peeps have been working so hard, I'm getting a little Sweet Peep Treat ready for them to give them later next week. ( If you are one of my little peeps...log off right now!! :) No peeking!)
I did a similar treat last year, but ventured into creating my own this year. All you need are some "Peeps" marshmallow treats and a sandwich or snack size ziploc baggie. Print off the tag, stuff the bags, staple and have fun celebrating your little peeps!
