Dinosaur Math

In keeping with our study of dinosaurs, I created a math center for the students that gave them the opportunity to practice subtraction using a toy dinosaur and game pieces that I purchased from Teachers Pay Teachers. First,each student chose a dinosaur game piece. The first player then chose an equation card, say 10-6. Each student then found the number 10 on the number line and made their dinosaur walk back six steps. The number the dinosaur landed on was the answer! The students LOVED solving the equations with their dinosaurs and it gave them a lot of practice with a challenging math skill..

Fabric Dying 101

Today was fabric dying day in Kindergarten! The children got to see their costumes for the play for the first time. I described the process of dying the fabric to them, and they were excited to give it a try. Some of the items were dyed a plain brown, while others were tie dyed. We will add embellishments to the clothing once the fabric has dried.
