Hello Everyone!! Subitizing has become a big component of our math curriculum over the last few years. Subitizing is "instantly seeing how many." This coming week, we will work hard on seeing groups of objects as a quantity, a unit, part of unit, or pattern. Exploring subitizing cards with kids will help them internalize quantity without having to count. Giving them the confidence to "just know" without counting gives them a step up to fluency in math. I created a little mini unit to help me help my kids. This unit includes 21 pages of subitizing cards to print, cut apart and either use as a whole group mini lesson game or to put in your math tubs so kids can practice their "instant seeing." There are dominoes, dice, ten frames, fingers, tally count, subitizing circles, and numbers. You will also find a subitizing miniposter to post. Here are a couple of pics. For your free mini unit on Subitizing, Click HERE!! :) Hope this helps you!! Stay tuned for more subitizing fun!! Have a great day!! Joyfully! Nancy

I'm trying to round out The Babe's learning experiences across all types of subjects. As much as my musician friend Zoe would hate to hear this, I've been a little lax in the music area.

All kids are active but do you ever find yourself completely exhausted by 3:00 pm while your kids are climbing all over the house? This is after you have taken them to the playground, gone the children’s museum, had a playdate, read 12 books, dug a hole in the sandbox, baked some cookies and ran errands… Sometimescontinue reading...

Alphabet in Simple Science: P is for Push and Pull

FREE science emergent reader book about the human body systems. Great science activity for preschool and kindergarten.

Right now we are studying cardinal directions, so I decided to have a little compass fun!! This is my first ever 'original' craftivity and the kids are loving it. We made it and then used the iPad and Apple TV to download a compass app. We practiced which direction we would need to go to find the cafeteria, office, and library. It didn't take us long to make them either...and the best part...kids were teaching other kids!!

Area and perimeter are two of my favorite math concepts to teach. It's easy to have fun learning area and perimeter.

***NOTA: questa inserzione si riferisce a un motivo all’uncinetto e non all’oggetto completato!*** Modello per una valigia apribile e per un topo per vivere al suo interno con tutti gli outfit e gli accessori necessari! Il cartamodello contiene molte foto per aiutarti in ogni fase del processo. È scritto in inglese, utilizzando termini americani all’uncinetto. Il modello è stato testato in modo indipendente prima della pubblicazione. Avrai bisogno di: Filato a tua scelta. Il peso del filato non ha molta importanza: le dimensioni del tuo progetto risulteranno semplicemente più grandi o più piccoli! Ho utilizzato il filato Patons Smoothie DK per la maggior parte dei miei progetti (questo è un filato abbastanza spesso, quindi è equivalente all’aran o al pettinato leggero di altre marche) e la mia valigia finita misura circa 16 cm di lunghezza e 13 cm di altezza. Assicurati di utilizzare filato dello stesso peso sia per la valigia che per il mouse e gli accessori in modo che aderiscano perfettamente. Avrai bisogno dei seguenti colori: Colore principale del mouse: ho utilizzato il grigio chiaro (circa 23,5 m). Colore del naso/orecchie/piedi/coda: ho usato il rosa pallido (circa 13 m). Colore esterno della valigia: ho usato il beige (circa 147 m). Colore dell’interno della valigia: ho usato il giallo pallido (circa 138 m). Colore dei manici della cassa/colore delle chiusure: ho usato il marrone scuro (circa 5,5 m). Colore di coperta/cuscino/accappatoio e pantofole: ho usato il bianco (circa 73,5 m). Colore della maglietta: verde pallido (circa 8,5 m). Colore del vestito: ho usato il rosso (circa 20 m). Colore del formaggio: ho usato il giallo scuro (circa 2 m). Nota = la quantità di filato utilizzata varia in base al peso del filato, alla dimensione dell’uncinetto e alla tensione del punto, quindi queste misure sono solo indicative. Il motivo si riferisce ai colori che ho utilizzato, tuttavia questi possono essere sostituiti con colori a tua scelta. Avrai anche bisogno di: Uncinetto della misura giusta per il filato che hai scelto: io ho usato un uncinetto da 4 mm. Un paio di occhi di sicurezza neri da 6 mm. Imbottitura giocattolo. Filati o fili più fini per aggiungere dettagli alla faccia del topo e alle etichette per il bagaglio. Ho usato nero, rosso e blu. Tela di plastica “7 count”. Avevo un foglio da 26 cm x 33 cm (10,25 x 13,5 pollici) e ho usato meno di 1 foglio. Un conteggio più alto (ovvero il numero di fori per pollice) significa che la plastica è più flessibile, quindi conteggi 7 se possibile. 2 bottoni per i vestiti (e un ago e filo per attaccarli). 2 bottoni medi per la valigia (e un ago e un filo per attaccarli). Un bottone a pressione/chiusura a scatto se desideri che il mouse sia in grado di contenere il formaggio (anche se facoltativo). Ho utilizzato un bottone a pressione in plastica trasparente da 7 mm (acquistato su Amazon). Altri strumenti di cui avrai bisogno sono un ago da arazzo, delle forbici e dei segnapunto. Puoi vendere gli articoli che realizzi utilizzando questo modello, ma per favore non vendere/condividere il modello stesso. Grazie.

PROPUESTA Diseño y construcción de una caja de bailarina. Fabricación Hemos dibujado cuatro cuadrados de 12*12 cm sobre contrachapado de 5 mm( Cómo realizar el trazado) ,después los hemos recortado con una segueta (Sierra de marquetería), posteriormente limado y finalmente los hemos pegado usando cola blanca para madera. Los ejes los hemos fabricado de varilla roscada M4. Los engranajes los hemos construido con contrachapado de 5mm y palitos de pinchitos. Hemos pegado la imagen de una bailarina (La bailarina es un dibujo propio de Microlog, kit 1228) sobre contrachapado de 5 mm y después la hemos recortado con la segueta (es necesario utilizar un pelo muy fino). La manivela la hemos fabricado utilizando un trozo de listón y un trozo de palito de pinchitos. Hemos cortado unos trozos de listón de samba para colocarlos como patas de la caja. Y finalmente hemos pintado la caja utilizando tinte rojo para madera y la bailarina la hemos pintado con barniz. En el siguiente vídeo se puede ver una modificación al proyecto original, ha sido motorizado.
