Jelly Bean Math

Since we do not have school tomorrow (our usual "Fun Friday"), we decided to have a "Thrilling Thursday" instead.  The girls had a scavenger hunt for eggs with different Word Wall words written on them--they had to find 4 different words and correctly spell them on their sheet.  Here is video of the start of the scavenger hunt.


Kohena writing the words she found.


After we checked the words as a group, the girls sat down at their seats to complete a math packet using the jelly beans inside the eggs as manipulatives.  Here is Blair sorting her jelly beans.


Rakeb is tallying her jelly beans.


Putting the jelly beans in the following patterns:  AB, ABB, ABC, and AAB.

 
We also had a special Mystery Reader today--Peggy Bessent!  The girls loved hearing Thomas' Snowsuit by our Author of the Month, Robert Munsch, and enjoyed our very special visitor :-)
