Thanks to everyone who was able to join us for family literacy day and to those who are returning to LBS tonight for the family dance! It was an action packed day with time spent with our buddies and handing out Valentines this morning and an assembly and literacy activities in the afternoon.
A new math game was sent home today! Please add the game boards into your home math games folder for safe keeping. This game was introduced to most students this week. I will post the instructions here as well for safe keeping:
Yahtzee Game Instructions
Materials:
· One game board
· Counters for each player (same number as there are numbers on the game board)
· Dice (cards also work if you do not have a 10-sided die)
Instructions:
· Player 1 rolls the dice.
· They figure out what 10 – that number is. (For example, they roll a 3 so 10 – 3 = 7)
· Player 1 covers the answer on their side of the board.
· Player 2 rolls and repeats these steps, covering the answer on their own side of the board.
· Players roll back and forth.
· When a player rolls an answer they have already covered, they lose their turn.
· The winner is the first person who covers all of their answers.
Question to ask during play:
Ask students what they need to roll in order to cover the number they are missing. For example, you have 6 that is still uncovered. What do you need to roll to get a 6? 4. This helps students think inversely.
We also introduced a really fun making 10's game that works on the computer/iPad. Here's the link if you'd like to play at home: https://www.mathplayground.com/number_bonds_10.html.
Please keep in mind that our next day back at school is Tuesday, February 18 and our class field trip to Leighton Art Center! There is deep snow out on the grounds at Leighton, thus, please ensure your child is dressed for the weather/snow. Big thank you to all the parents who are joining us on our field trip! :)
Take care and Happy Valentine's Day to all! :)
