Easter!

Heres a fun math game to add to your math area. Children will match the number on the top half of the egg to the correct amount of dots on the bottom half of the egg. This gives them skills to recognize and match numbers. One-to-one correspondence and also matching colors.

A great rewards system!

Looking for a great rewards system? Try this! We use a clear jar and fill it up with beans. Every time your child or children meet a goal let them scoop a tablespoon of beans (rice, marbles, rock marbles) into the jar. Once the jar is full then reward them with something fun! At home my boys get a scoop for doing chores, having a good day at school etc. In the classroom we use the jar for classroom participation, helping clean etc. At home my boys got to choose their reward (T chose a DSi game and E chose to get a 4 year old version of a DSi) In the classroom when our jar is filled we get an icecream party!   (Its a great math project too!) Make sure to use a clear jar so they can track their progress.
