Happy November! Did
anyone else have sugar coma kids in their class for the past two days? You know, the kind of kids that when you are
directly instructing them they completely ignore you or stared at you blankly with unfocused eyes. Or did you have the kind of kids that were
the exact opposite...getting up constantly, taking constantly, bouncing for no
apparent reason except to bounce. We had
fun dressing up for spirit week this week but I am definitely looking forward
to a regular week with no costumes or sugar coma kids in my classroom! I'm linking up with Farley and I think her November currently is just gorgeous! Please forgive me...mine is fuzzy...I'm still learning how to work with some of this blog stuff.
On
Wednesday (Halloween-don't mind their weird outfits :) I taught my students the relationship between addition and
subtraction facts using a part part whole diagram and candy corn! They were highly motivated for the candy! We used compartment plates that are separated
into three sections…part part are the two smaller sections and whole is the
larger section. Here are some pictures of our diagrams in action...
Apple on!
