Social behavior, learning attitude is developed at early childhood. Most of these skills are the things that since you are reading this article you are likely already working on. These are the skills best taught by the "looks like/sounds like" strategy; and you know to never assume the child knows any of them. Some of these skills your child will have incorporated because they are an automatic part of your home life. Some of these skills can be established at a young age, while others will have to wait until just before school starts.

Oh, thank you for coming Friday! It has been a long, exhausting week. Not because of students or family....it just has been a long, busy week. So now I can sit back...smile that it is over...and reflect a little. #1...Bus problem solving. I had posted about a new book that Natalie and I are trying out this year that really challenges our first graders through word problems--orally, written, and by creating their own. You can read more here. We continued using the bus theme this week by turning the bus into a tens frame. We worked on ways to make 10. We added the number of people on the bus and the number of seats that were still available. #2 More story problems. Last week we had started the story problems by acting them out. We literally made a classroom bus with chairs. But this week students had to solve the problems independently with a bus and some lima bean people, while I read the problem orally. Here are some examples of what they had to solve (remember...these are my struggling students in Sept of first grade)... "Eleven children were peering out the windows of the bus, eager to get home to play. Seven got off at the first stop. How many were still on the bus?" "It was a good day at school but the children were tired and eager to get home to their families. Before the last stop, the driver had eight children on the bus. Now there were only three. How many had gotten off?" "A mom was waiting for the bus to return from the night program. It was so dark when the bus pulled up that all she could see were eight tired eyes gazing down at her. How many children were on the bus?" (comes from "Posing and Solving Problems with Story Boxes" by Donna Burk and Allyn Snider, 1994) We put them up to this challenge and they could do it!! I can't wait to see what happens next :) #3 This week I got to wear my Math shirt! #4 and 5 is a FREEBIE. It goes along with all the math "stuff" above. It is a tens frame with equations. And a second one with a missing number. You can find these here too: Happy weekend everyone! I will be doing some relaxing (I hope.)

Friends... so sorry for my looooooooooooooong absence. I do have an excuse, but I won't waste precious blogging time with it! I'm back for a quick post on Partners of 10! Indiana has been hit pretty hard this Winter, so we've been super busy trying to squeeze in as much as we can with limited time! Our math focus this week was narrowed to focus primarily on Bonds/Partners of 10! First off, If you haven't introduced your kiddos to the Partners of 10 Rainbow... what are you waiting for?!?? This is SUCH an awesome visual reminder of all the different ways to make 10! I forgot to take a picture of my chart, but we made one very similar to Teri's from A Cupcake for the Teacher. Then we used her adorable freebie to reinforce the skill the next day! Click the freebie below to head over to her blog and pick it up! The next day, we got busy using a Ten Frame to show our Partner's of 10. Not sure who had the original idea to make a GIANT ten frame for the kids to stand in... but THANK YOU (if it was your idea, please claim it so I can link to you!) The kids LOVED this activity and it was such an engaging way for them to reinforce this skill! I made a ten frame out of masking tape on the floor (sorry, nothing fancy) and called a few kids up by name to come stand in the 10 frame. We discussed how many spaces were filled, then we counted how many spaces were empty. Then, I matched their tens frame up on a teaching chart. I just drew a large ten frame and used post-it notes to fill in the boxes. I did this so that when the kids sat back down to record their answers, they would still have a visual of the ten frame. Students used the visual to shade in a ten frame and write the Partner of 10 equation that matched. I got this recording sheet from the fabulous Printable Princess. It is part of her free winter pack and worked amazingly with this activity. Head to her store to pick up the freebie and be sure to Go Follow Her on Facebook! So there you have it! It's nice to be back in blogging world. I hope to be back soon! :)

It's time for Five for Friday from Doodle Bugs Teaching! I have been on Spring Break this week and have been getting a lot of work done at the house. I am going to be moving in a few weeks so I have been busy packing up stuff! Ugh! But don't think I have been working too hard, I still had plenty of couch/TV time during the week! Mr. B loved it! Here is a bubble map that we created during our Plant unit. We used this chart to help us write informational text about sunflowers during Writer's Workshop.
