Six Crayons in All




Today in math we did an activity called Six Crayons in All. In this game, kids either had a partner or worked alone to find as many possible combinations of crayons that added up to six using two colors. They used a 6-egg carton to count out six crayons, red and blue. They could do any combination of six crayons as long as they used at least one blue and at least one red crayon. Then they recorded their combinations in their workbook. There are at least as many ways of recording as there are kids! Look:





Our Eric Carle unit is coming along great. We are just about done our brown bears, and today we began our Today is Monday books. Kids are learning how to write the days of the week as well as their favorite foods!

We are very excited about our field trip to the Eric Carle museum coming up. Thanks to parents who sent in their permission forms already!
