Math Old Lady Rose Integration Activity

One big way to make a learning impact on students is pure integration. You will want to play this ten-frame game my little loves are OBSESSED with, called Fill the Ten Frame. Here is how my little loves play. First, a student rolls the die. You can use a foam die like I have or a printable die taped together. Then, students color in one box for the item that is on the top of the die, until one ten-frame is filled. This game builds great one-to-one correspondence and number sense. Plus, it is amazing fun for your students.

Writing Fun with Word Walls, Write Me Three, and Writing prompts

Speaking of integration, this means writing too! I also created a Write Me Three prompt and word wall to encourage independent writing. This is a basic tool I use to get my younger students ready to write about a few things using simple sentences.

When we are ready to write more, we turn to a word wall to help us. Check out these writers using their word wall to write to retell the story.  My favorite part is “she blue” instead of “she blew.”
