Solid Figures

Oh man, it's been a long time!  We've been super busy this year though so I suppose it's okay....  right??  Anyway, here is our latest adventure.  While planning the other day, I thought to myself, "Gee, I feel like we should have taught solid figures already...".  Lo and behold - I was supposed to.  Oops!!  So we had a quick overview of solid figures complete with marshmallow figures that we made ourselves!  It's an idea I got from Pinterest of course!  =)  Here's a couple quick pics of some of my kiddos with their creations and I'm going to attempt to include our Solid Figures Cheat Sheet too.  =)

A couple kiddos realized they could make houses with their pyramids and cubes!

Math Warmup

Okay, so last night I apparently drowned myself in Coca Cola at dinner and paid the price with the inability to go to sleep (I saw 3am how about you?).  So this is the math warmup I made at 1:45am. My hope is that the kiddos will fill this out every day when they get started on math (ideally after recess or lunch so it's waiting on their desks for them). I'll give them like 5 minutes to complete, pick one or two of the things to go over whole group and then they will put it in their Bobcat Binders under the Math section to keep. When we start doing test prep, I plan on copying the math questions for the day onto the back of this paper so then the activity time would be more like 10 minutes so they can fill out both sides. What do you think?  I plan on changing up the calendar each month and the calendar question daily.  Also, I am totally freaking out and can't figure out FOR THE LIFE OF ME how to save this as a jpeg or how to embed in my blog... any help would be GREATLY appreciated!  So for now I tried just taking a screenshot and embedding the picture....  AMATEUR!  =)
