A Half Birthday and Some Math Fun

Today one of our friends celebrated their half birthday. Since, he has a summer birthday, we decided to celebrate his half birthday. He brought some delicious Zebra Cakes to share with us for a snack. Today, we also had the opportunity to listen to the 4th and 5th grader's band concert. They played some great holiday music.
In math, we played a game called, "Roll and Record." We have played it before but we used 2 dice this time. In the game, they roll the dice and color the square on the graph above the number they rolled. We played this game because we are still practicing counting, but we also played it because we're starting to work on addition. This helped them add two numbers together by counting both die. Tomorrow, we are looking forward to beginning our gingerbread unit.

Happy 1/2 birthday S!
