A recipe from the Dec/Jan 2k1 issue of Taste of Home. So easy and great fun for the whole family! To remove the marshmallow creme from the jar I use a rubber spatula & the fluff just sticks to it. Otherwise microwaving it for a few seconds at a time might make it release easier.

I want to share with you part of my Winter Wonderland Math and Language Arts Unit that has a section all about hot cocoa! It's fun any time you can make math hands on and exciting for the students. The kids had a wonderful time using marshmallows as math manipulatives. We are studying numbers 11-20. The students made a mug out of construction paper and were allowed to glue down marshmallows to display any number between 11-15. We made a hot chocolate craftivity to practice counting! After we made our hot chocolate craft, we glued down some marshmallows. The students counted the marsmallows in their chocolate and wrote the number on the line! The next part of our lesson, we used our 5 senses to taste and investigate hot chocolate. After we tasted our cocoa, we graphed our opinion if we liked the taste or not. This chapter we are learning to count to 20 using 10 Frames. I decided to use the previous cocoa mugs, to make a center station practicing showing sets of numbers 11-20. The students chose a mat, and then placed marshmallows in the 10 frame to show the number on the mug. Click on the picture to grab the math mats and hot cocoa mug craft! I try to post the objective and standards on each bulletin board, so parents and administration know what we are working on in class. Here is what is posted around this board: Hot Cocoa Math Objective: In math, we are focusing on numbers 11-15. We are practicing counting and writing these numbers. The students were able to choose how many (between 11-15) marshmallows that they wanted to glue onto their cup of hot cocoa. We also used our sense of taste to take a sip of hot cocoa to see if we liked it. Then we graphed if we did or did not like the taste of hot cocoa. The following standards were addressed:

We began the year 2012 by talking about New Year's! We used my own New Year's unit and we had tons of fun! We started by talking about traditions we do at New Year's and the kids enjoyed telling me all about what they did that night. Many of them were proud to tell me they stayed up until midnight! :) We also talked about counting down from ten, watching the ball drop in NYC, shooting off fireworks and going to a party. We then filled out and illustrated a New Year's book: My unit also includes some math problems with a New Year's theme. I took out the numbers in the problems and added blanks to include more number sets to increase the challenge. The next day we talked about what a resolution is (a goal we want to achieve in the new year) and what resolutions we would make for school. It was funny to see what they wanted to work on. A few kids who are always quiet and do what they are told put I want to work on being quiet....seriously?? :) We also talked about memories from last year and what we hope to do this year. On Friday we chose a resolution that could be either about anything we want to do. The kids wrote down their resolution and decorated a face to look like themselves. (I just used a circle and triangle for the face and hat). It made an adorable bulletin board! The kids wrote about their resolutions on a paper from The First Grade Parade's free new year's unit! (I love Cara Carroll!!) I'm so proud of what all my kids have done this year so far....and I know they have a lot more to achieve! :) If you are interested in my New Year's unit, check it out on TpT and Teacher's Notebook.
