Octo”bear”

This past week we celebrated the arrival of Octo”bear”.  All week we did teddy bear themed activities. 

In math we practiced ordering teddy bears from least to greatest.

We used counters to find all of the Octo“bear” combinations for 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10.

We also made and solved addition math problems.  First we practiced on the Promethean board.  We rolled dice to see how many bears were in each honey pot.  Then we added the numbers together.Then we worked with a partner to create our own honey pot addition problems

We also made addition math problems with a partner using teddy bears and a bunk beds.  We rolled dice to see how many bears slept on the top bunk and how many bears slept on the bottom bunk.  

During centers we sorted short a, short i and short o words and then sound spelled them. 

We practiced counting sets of tens and ones and matched each set with honey pots.

We sorted teddy bears by color and graphed how many of each we had.  Then we used our graph to determine which color we had the most of and which color we had the least of.

We listened to A Pocket for Corduroy at the listening center and then wrote about four things from the story that Corduroy always wanted and one thing he never wanted.

  

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We created teddy bear patterns {AB, ABC, AAB, ABB}.

We also discovered a mystery picture by solving addition math problems using teddy bear counters. 

During the week we also ready several stories about our favorite teddy bear  . . . Corduroy.  We even made a Corduroy art project, sequenced pictures from the story and wrote about them and watched the movie.   

More pictures from Friday to come . . . {we seem to be out of memory}!!!
