A little Mouse Fun

Happy Friday Y’all!

What a week.. I feel like the last few weeks have been C.R.A.Z.Y.. and I am always rushed.. there is so much extra “stuff” going on. I was also out on Thursday- so that put me behind schedule on many things.

I also forgot my camera at home this morning- so I am missing pictures of several things we did this week. I am going to try and do a mid-week “mouse post” to show you those things too..

But, here is a little glimpse into our “Mouse Week”.

 

004

One of our weekly centers this week was stamping spelling words.

014

I make “list cards” with our spelling words so they are right there with the students. I also number the words so they know exactly where to stamp it on their paper. It’s not so important that they go in order but that they know which words they have stamped… otherwise they skip a word and then we {meaning ME} have to go back and figure out what word they skipped.

Numbering the words and the paper has SAVED MY LIFE!

This poem was found at Teaching Heart but I changed it up a little bit.

Another center activity.. they had to cut the lines apart and glue them in order. There are copies of the poem in the center for easy reference.

032

We put the words in order together one morning during our meeting time.. Then I put them in the center and if they finished gluing the poem in order they could do this as a pocket chart activity.


019

This is a center I made last year.. but it was WAY to easy for my first graders this year. They counted the dimes on the cards and recorded their answers on a recording sheet.

These are number cards to put in order from least to greatest. We did this together then I put it away and will pull them back out next week.. and it will be part of a math pocket chart center.

Ordinal words cards..we used these in a pocket chart to order from first-twelfth.

This week was the first week they had an art project they had to complete on their own.

The pieces they needed were in stacks in the windowsill.. they had to get their pieces. cut them and glue them to make this simple little mouse!

  20. Love the Mouse Money Cards. Great way to teach counting by 10's (I love teaching "money" but it isn't one of our K standards anymore...)

  22. The mice art project is too cute for school. But, did you just create it freehand and then trace all of the pieces? Can you share your "tracers"? Thanks for the awesome ideas! I don't have a Google account, so I had to be anonymous... Mrs. R

  32. I like your mouse money games. I teach first grade and we have to incorporate pennies, nickels, and dimes. I am actually going to use your dime game when I teach dimes and your counting cards to incorporate counting all three forms of coins together. This is very helpful!
