Reindeer Games!

Let the fun begin!
Reindeer Songs, reindeer movement activities, making a reindeer picture and reindeer antlers will take up our morning. The children will see Mrs. Jost and Mrs. Schrupp for some of the activities.

We have been given the green light to do a reindeer run throughout the halls of the elementary too!

Letter Focus: Zz

 Popcorn Word: have
 Handwriting: Letter Y

PhyEd Today
 Math:  Part-Part/Whole
New Concept: Review the concept of part/part/whole. Let’s think some more about part/part/whole. There were 8 owls sitting in a tree. Some had mice, but 3 did not. How many owls had mice? As I tell the story, I build on the whole/part/part mat. I will provide a few examples.
Whole Group Explore: Everyone will start with 10 as their whole number. One partner will roll the dice and count out the cubes and put them on a part. The other partner will need to figure out how many cubes to put on the other part to make 10. 
Student Application: Students will practice completing their whole/part/part frames

What would be the best ending to a morning of reindeer fun? Seeing Santa...He is coming to our classroom at 1:00 today!

~Just look at how healthy the candy canes are looking! Can you believe they are this tall already!
