Weekly Recap 11/30-12/1


Last week I only worked two days, but they were two crazy days! I feel like when the month switches it is always crazy because there is so much to do. I have to print out our monthly calendar/lunch menu for their folders, change the calendar, and change our calendar opening for the computer. We also have to change dramatic play and sensory. Oh and nametags! Like I said, there's so much to do and I'm sure I'm missing other things lol.


I made the kids these little velcro games which I was always so against file folder games LOL, but they did love these. I put them on my TPT. 

Alex made the tree farm with them on Wednesday. She used the teen number set because our kids are pretty good with 1-10 and we will be moving into teen numbers in a couple of chapters so it is a good intro!

Nick and I went to the Cavs game. My dad has season tickets, but he coaches basketball so he asked if we would want to go. We hit up the casino buffet (we love buffets haha) and then headed over to the game.


 On Friday I got to work taking pictures of the entire Kindergarten for our little parent gift tradition. One of our moms sent in all this fun stuff for December so the kids colored while I took the pics. They were having a blast.


I asked them to take a pic of me on the purple (I make a class christmas card), which turned into them getting into the picture and also me having to hold a picture that was made by someone else lol.

Also we had a delivery from the North Pole - inside were elf hats!!! Then we made these cutie reindeer. :) 


I did a terrible job hanging these up lol!!


Also switched our morning work. I went with a half sheet. I always did a full sheet, but I felt like it was a waste of paper. I know there will be haters, but don't worry they still play in the morning lol. I like them to have some responsibility and practice. 


Then on the weekend I had friends over for a little christmas craft party. This is my job share partner!!


My nephew also started a new sport on Sunday! Alright, that is all, talk later!

SUBTRACTION WINTER CRAFT

If you've been around for awhile you know that I LOVE craftivities. I think they are so much more fun than just the regular day to day lessons and even more than random stations. I typically tend to hate station games and cut out cards because they get lost and what not. #iykyk Over winter break I was trying to prep to come back and I knew I wanted to start doing a math craft every Friday. I am a creature of habit and routine, so I want to start doing Monday-Thursday stations and Friday craftivities. I saw a few subtraction craftivities on pinterest, but they weren't really sparking my interest. I wanted something different than something being eaten and it needed to be winter themed. So penguins on and off an iceberg just popped into my head.   I decided to first let my kids color the penguins. I also made them number the back because I knew they would be all over the ground and no one would know which are theirs. So we did that, but it took longer than expected so I collected...

Teen Numbers Lucky Charms Craft

If you're new here, I absolutely love CRAFTIVITIES! Craftivities are a craft that aligns to whatever you are doing academically. We do a math craft once a week! My kids love it and I love being able to reference back to them. We used to do the hot chocolate teen numbers and these teen number puppies (which I do still love and we could do), but hot chocolate is out for March and the teen number puppies were just counting, not showing a tens frame like my hot chocolate ones did. So I randomly thought of this while my kids went to specials and whipped it up. The cereal represents the ten and the marshmallows are the one. So now when we talk about making teen numbers and filling the tens frame I can say 'remember the tens frame gets the cereal and the other part is the marshmallows'. :) The craft comes with different ways to print it out to make it easiest for your classroom or home. When I made it with my kids I realized I needed a 'topper' and also would not print out...

Weekly Recap

Happy Valentine's Day! I used to feel like I needed something to do on Valentine's day, but now that I'm old and wise (lol) I don't care and I just want to make it fun for my kids. As you can see, I thought making slime would be fun... The kids were so excited and hype, but my desk was a disaster and it didn't go as planned lol. Last year I hired someone to come in and face paint, but obviously with Covid we couldn't do that this year. I mainly did the slime because they have been keeping their bookshelves clean and tidy without being asked and I wanted to let them know I appreciate that.  On Valentine's day we also watched a Number Jacks movie (their favorite- it also was only like 40 minutes which I like because it isn't extremely long) and really didn't do anything else that was party related because we had a intruder drill which took up a chunk of time and I told them we HAD to do math stations. However, I think the movie and slime was fine with ...
