Pumpkins

We have been working on observational writing and the children used their pumpkins to write about this week. The children took a pumpkin and decorated it as their favorite character.

Addition and Subtraction

We started working on addition and subtraction stories today. I gave the children story problems and the children acted them out using candy corn and a jack o lantern. They then made up thier own stories up using the candy corn.

They really enjoyed this activity and I of course let them eat two at the end and couldn't resist showing them this fun trick.

Our Week

We made tens and ones using manipulatives. We also used the laptops to go to different websites to make tens.

Here is a look at our week.

Shapes

We worked on shapes this week and the children made shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. I didn't show them how to make the circle I wanted to see what they would come up with and I was really surprised at the different ways they made the circle. They just love anything to do with food.
