Just another Monday...

Busy day in room 304 today!

I'm not quite sure that Ms. Elli fully survived.
I wanted to share a few pictures from using the new math comparing numbers freebie that I posted up in the TPT shop last night.  The kids had a good time using it. :)

 I used the "Magic Stick Picker" to pull out two names.  Purple bucket kids were the first number and green bucket kids were the second number.

 Then we compared the numbers and decided if they were greater than or less than and sorted them on our handy pocket chart.

 The kids had a great time using them!

Remember that you can pick up your own FREE copy of this great activity at {my little TPT shop} and use this with your own kiddos.  I told mine that they would see this again!  I will more than likely put it in a math bucket for them to use in small groups.  Yay!!

This is just a side note that I think is a wonderful idea!  I have to give credit to my partner teacher across the hall.  She came across this idea from another teacher friend of hers where you use Plexiglas to make life easier!  That's right folks... plexiglas!!  We have a math word problem that we go over each day at the end of our morning meeting.  The problems are written on a chart tablet and we write with dry erase on the sheet of plexiglas.  It comes right off!  AND... I can use my chart again next year and not have to re-write anything!  Talk about smart, people!!!

I hope that you all have a fantastic evening and a great tomorrow! :)
