Hi friends!
We just spent a week on weight. We wanted to bump our current program's lessons up a notch so we used these cards from Everyday Math.
We just spent a week on weight. We wanted to bump our current program's lessons up a notch so we used these cards from Everyday Math.
I put my kids in groups of 3 and gave them each a set of cards and a box of base tens and ones.
I told them that I wanted them to put the cards in order from the least amount of weight to the most. I also wanted them to represent the number with base tens. This way I was hitting one of our standards while we talked about weight! I also loved the problem solving it took for my kids to figure this out. I LOVE anything that involves my kids thinking. They really enjoyed this activity and plan on doing more project-type activities soon!
It is called Spider Web and I read about it HERE! Like many/all of you, I am trying to do it all. Technology/Arts/Common Core. This post has some great ideas for integrating Drama elements into your every day classroom!
So how my version of Spider Web worked:
Me: Hi! My name is Mrs. King and I can "JUMP"
roll the yarn to another student and say "Bobby- what can you do?"
Bobby: My name is Bobby and I can "SPRINT"
and so on.
We unraveled the yarn by saying:
"Hi I am Mrs. King and I am "ARTISTIC!"
Talk about problem solving- unraveling this web was a little bit of a challenge, but we did it, and I know the next time will be even better!A little bit of public speaking with a parts of speech review and voila- my kids are wide awake and ready to go!
Just in case you are wondering....February Busy Teacher is ALMOST finished!
<Do I dare say it will be posted tomorrow night???>
