It has finally hit out house. My daughter and I have got
whatever has been going around school. A very unproductive weekend of soup and
sleeping, but I finally think that we are both feeling a little better, just in
time to go back to work. Hopefully we are getting over this stuff and I can
post some exciting happenings soon. My class is loving our measurement unit and
we are about to start Measurement Mania next week. I will let you know how that
goes.

Measurement fun has begun!!
We have started out measurement
unit. The kids are having such a good time working cooperatively and exploring
measurement. We have now learned about nonstandard units called “length units”
by common core, inches and length units that correspond to inches, and centimeters
and length units that correspond to centimeters.
I found the cool poster on Pinterest, but
could not find the original pinner. I made it for my class.
One other thing that I did this
week was put my centers into old DVD cases for storage. I wish I had thought of
this a long time ago. They store so well and I created a cover that gives the
students directions for each center. My plan is to go back and make one for
each of my math centers. I also included a little ruler on the spine so that
the students know what standard of math that they go with at a glance. Do you
have any unique ways to store your center materials? If so please share.

Valentine's Cards for my Students!

Valentine’s Day is on the way!!
I have been working on two different Valentine’s Day themed
center activities for my students to use in math centers. The really enjoy it
when I tie what we are learning to the holiday or a theme. We will be
celebrating Valentine’s Day on next Friday with a school dance and a class ice cream
social. My first center activity is designed to meet common core standard
NBT.2.8 mentally adding and subtraction 10 and 100.
The other unit is a Valentine’s Day math hunt that my children
just love. I place the cards around the room and they hunt for the cards. When
they find the cards they solve the problem and place their answers on the
recording form. I normally give the student that gets the most problems correct
a treat. They really work hard to solve the problems correctly.

FREE!!!!!!!
If you go to my teacher pay teacher store and follow me and then leave me a message on this post I will send you one of the above centers for free.
I will also be using Mrs. Adkins Valentine's Day Party pack:

UPDATES from Tech. Confrence
Wow! The FETC Technology conference was
amazing! There is so much technology out there that is really cool, too bad
that most of it cost an arm and a leg. I did find two things that were really
cool and were no cost to the teachers. First, Grade Cam is a web page that
automatically grades your multiple choice test allowing you to get instant item
analysis. This web page will also send the graded work right into my digital
grade book. All you need is a document camera or a webcam. I am going out this
weekend to get a webcam so that my students can grade their own papers
instantly. I will let you know how it goes. Check Grade Cam out here! (www.gradecam.com)
The other thing that I found was ABCya! It is
a wonderful webpage with free educational games for students that work wonderfully
with my interactive white board. They also offer apps at the App Store. The
webpage is awesome! My kids were so excited today when we used it.
