Snowmen Have Cell Numbers...Right?

Teaching a phone number is a challenge! I suggest trying to teach the number in a sing-song tune. We made snowmen talking on their cell phone to one another. It was a huge success!

Playhouse Fun...For Hours!

Save your refrigerator box, or any other large box and use it for a playhouse. Glue felt around the box and use it for various seasons. For Halloween I let the children decorate the house into a “haunted house" with felt ghosts, pumpkins… For Christmas they make a candy house with felt jellybeans, suckers… Even for the Three Little Pigs activity we decorate the house with felt straw, sticks and bricks

Ohhhh...HOT Chocolate Math!

While on the letter O Day the children ate hot chocolate and did addition with marshmallows. It is a great hands on activity, just draw a few mugs and paste them on a colored paper. Laminate the paper or use a sheet protector. Then with a dry erase marker write addition problems on the mugs. Encourage your child use marshmallows for manipulatives. This works great with subtraction and addition!
