What We Have Been up to

• The students each receive a bingo sheet with a variety of different numbers on it
• I will read out an addition problem, and they will have to find the sum of the addition problem on their bingo sheet.
• the first student to get a bingo calls it out, and they get a small prize
• This lesson works on increasing their addition skills, and the speed of figuring out the addition problems

  5 Senses Stations

• The classroom is divided into 5 different stations, each representing a different sense.
• At each different station the children will get to use a sense--either touch, sight, smell, hear, or tatse.
• At the touch station the students will feel an object in a box, and they will have to try and figure out what the object is by what it feels like (soft, rough, bumpy, etc..)
• At the taste station, the students will taste a few different foods with their eyes closed, and tell what they taste like and guess the food.
• At the sight station, the students will look at different colored objects where they will place like things in the same category.
• At the hearing station, the students will have to determine what sound they hear when I make a sound behind a curtain so they won't be able to see it.
• At the smell station, the students will smell different objects that smell good and bad.
• These stations will work the motor-skills of their senses while getting them to move around and experience different stations.

If you Give a Class a Cookie

• We have been reading If you Give a Mouse a Cookie, and they love it!
• After we finish reading it, the class will be making cookies!
• I will take a vote of the favorite cookie of the class, and then together we will be making them.
• The students will be measuring out the ingredients so they will each get the opportunity to participate
• Measuring out the ingredients will also help the students with their math skills.
