Math Centers with my Math Masters
Alysha and Chris work with tanagrams to make pictures.
Sarah is "setting the table" with her tanagrams,
Zoish and Christina race to match the number of spiders to the number on the card.
This group is busy working on filling in the hundred's chart.
Ana and Trey work on their math match up puzzles.
Kristy is using cubes to make the addition problem 10 + 10. Her cute puppy is there to help her if she needs it :)
Alexa makes 12 because 6+6=12. I love how she already has them lined up in an array. Little does she know that she is ahead of the game!!

Fun Homework Ideas
* Play a board game with your child (do this atleast twice a week.. it builds so many different skills)
* Have your child practice writing their name and passwords in playdoh
* Take your child on a nature walk and have them describe what they see
* Create a book about your family
* Challenge your child to collect 10 objects from the yard (acorns, leaves, sticks, etc)
* Scramble up passwords and have your child try to guess what the word is (ex: lypa = play)
* Take turns writing each letter of the passwords
* Rainbow write the alphabet (use a different color for each letter)
* Take your child to the park and when they read a password correct let them slide down the slide
* Spend time together doing what they want to do!
Of course, please make sure that you are reading with your child atleast 5 times a day. Ask them questions about the characters. Ask them to tell you what they liked and/or didn't like about the story. Have your child create a new ending to the story. Talk to them about the 5 W's (who, what, when, where, how). There is so much that you can do with your child while reading!
Example Homework Schedule:
Monday: Read a book and come up with 5 words that start with the letter of the week
Tuesday: Practice making groups of #s 1-10 with objects from around the house, practice writing the letter of week using play doh
Wednesday: Play a board game (Candy Land, charades, Memory, etc) and read a book
Thursday: Practice writing #s 1-10 in shaving cream and read a book
Friday: Play a board game and read a book
