Make a New Year Clock Craft Activity. One of the symbols always associated with New Year's Eve is a CLOCK.
In this activity students can make a paper plate clock to use on New Year's Eve. Material paper platefoam number stickers or crayons/markerspaper fastener piece of foam or heavy paper to make clock hands.scissors Assist younger students in making their paper plate clocks. Older students may need more of a challenge. Save the paper clocks to use with math measurement lessons in the new year! Have fun crafting! Happy New Year! Place Value and a Freebie. I have been completely stressing this weekend about my next evaluation and I don't know why.
If you talk to me any day of the week I would tell you (as cool as a cucumber) how much I don't care about these evaluations and how this is not a big deal. I keep saying it in the back of my head but I can't get the next one out of my head!! With this said, I spent all day Saturday thinking about what I was going to do during this math eval. We are studying place value right now so it wouldn't make much sense for me to do anything different but I want to make sure I hit all those "instructional" components. So, after spending all day yesterday racking my brain and writing a lesson plan which was pretty lame, I woke up this morning and knew exactly what to do. I made some really cool "Place Value Pinch Cards" to use for a formative assessments (just one out of the five assessments they require--I mean if you want to be that star #5 teacher!).
If you have any other tips for me please share! Fractions. Is it just me or does it seem like this week is NEVER going to end?!
I feel like the Valentine's Party was last week, but OH NO, that was only 2 days ago! Needless to say, I am more than ready for this weekend! But before I veg out all weekend, I wanted to post a few pictures of what we've been up to in class. We made fraction sundaes that you can find on TPT HERE! Tomorrow we will make fraction pizzas that you can find on TPT HERE!
We are only going to go to 1/6 on our fraction book, but in the template I made, you can go all the way to 1/16! I have also included templates where the fractions are already typed, and the students just put their books together! Happy Almost Friday!
