We finished up our Place Value unit in math and even added a few new games to our math centers! One game is Greater Than, Less Than that requires a partner and a deck of cards. It is very similar to the card game War!
The second game was the alligator game! This requires a partner, tens sticks, ones cubes, game mat, and alligator mouth. Partner 1 closes their eyes while partner 2 makes two numbers using tens and ones. Then partner 1 opens their eyes, counts the tens and ones, and uses the alligator mouth to show greater than or less than.
Sharing our writing is very important for First Graders! It helps develop our strategies and skills, and gives us a chance to show off our writing pieces. On Thursday we had our first WRITING MUSEUM! Each First Grader chose a few pieces from their Writer's Workshop folder to display on their desks while everyone walked around our classroom museum. During our writing museum we noticed:
Everyone writes differently
Everyone writes about different things
Everyone has become BETTER writers since the beginning of the year!!!! (VERY exciting when First Graders notice this on their own!!)
On Thursday afternoon we used the LAPTOPS! Every First Grader can successfully log on with their username (25firstnamelastname) AND password (ten digit code) which is no easy feat! We practiced logging on, going to the internet, and typing in a web address to play a place value game. We get better and better each time!
Sometimes we even use Miss Greteman's laptop!
