So how do we keep those wiggly little critters, riddled with spring fever, from jumping out of their skin?
Let 'em wiggle and giggle!

I have been taking my class outside for a lesson or two a day so they can move around while they work and a little noise isn't going to hurt anything either:)

Today we took two colored counters and a box of sidewalk chalk outside to practice making ten.  We drew a large ladybug on the sidewalk.  We placed ten 2 color counters in a small cup and spilled them out on the ladybug. The kids separated the colors on each side of the ladybug and recorded the combination.




If going outside for math won't work for you,
