We finished our chapter on time and money today, but we will continue to practice these skills for the rest of the year through center activities, games and contests. One of the ways I like to practice is to put a clock just outside the classroom door and tell students that they cannot enter unless they can tell me the correct time. It's great for those who are still learning because they can simply listen to the person in front of them and get the correct answer. I do the same thing with money by leaving a group of coins on a table. Students had fun with a story sequencing activity. We read Rosie's Walk, students cut out pictures of activities from the story and glued them in the correct order onto a sentence strip (that long piece of paper). The main character, Rosie the hen, is glued to the end of a popsicle stick. In the story, Rosie goes through a fence and as they were working on the project some students asked me to cut a slit in the picture of the fence so that Rosie could actually go through it. Some clever students asked for another popsicle stick so they could include the fox who is chasing Rosie throughout the story.
