I made and gave out 22 student gifts, 21 parent gifts since one student was absent, and I am almost done with Christmas at home. I have made cookies, ornaments, and homemade hot chocolates. I have packed up and put away all Christmas themed activities and items have been packed away from my classroom at school.
Back to centers…
This week we learned about the Letter Rr, Christmas {of course!}, want and needs, introduced coins.

plates of cookies. They circle the biggest number, cross out the
smallest. Then, they have to use ANY number on the plate and compare

My kids played on of there favorite games ever… Fill the Ten Frame. My students circle the picture they want to win. This allows them to predict the winner and cheer for a particular image. They roll the foam die and color one square per role to practice one to one correspondence. The first image to get filled to ten is the winner and they color that picture. Then, I added a square to each image so they can count the number of squares filled for each number to allow them to practice counting and writing their numbers. I seriously have to make tons of extra copies of theses sheets because my class likes to play it many times. {There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell}
Looks fabulous, Mary!
