1-2-3 Come Celebrate 100 Day With Me

Even though 100 Day was like a party for my Y5's,  we still covered all of our subject areas and standards.  I spent countless hours designing things that would fit the various subjects throughout our day using that particular theme. 

100 day activities, 100 day lessons, ideas for 100 day, 100 day games, 100 day centers, math games, time games, telling time to the hour activities, analog time, digital time, 100 day bulletin boards, 100 day writing prompts, 100 day crafts, 100 day certificates, 100 day snacksWith that in mind, I wanted to design some other activities besides all of the math extensions that go on for 100 Day, so I thought up an "It's Time To Celebrate" game, which reinforces time to the hour.  (CCSS 1.MD.3)

Students choose a partner or work in groups of 3-4 taking turns rolling one dice.  Whatever number they roll, they trace the digital time and then write that number on their analog clock. 

After they have filled in numbers 1-6 (times to the hour) they roll 2 dice and add them together to get numbers 7-12.  The first one to complete their "It's Time To Celebrate" recording sheet, is the winner and receives a certificate of praise.

Run off copies of each prompt and give students a choice.  Mount completed work on a variety of colors of construction paper for an easy 100-Day bulletin board.

1-2-3 come Enjoy Winter Wonderland With Me!

Oh my!  It's  really snowing hard, and the winter wonderland swirling outside my office window is spectacular!  We are supposed to get 17 inches! Woo hoo!  As long as it's winter it might as well snow.  There's always the added excitement of a snow day right? So bring it on!

Making templates for my daily tabletop lessons, was a real time saver for me.  The repetition empowered my Y5's, as they were familiar with the format and could get right down to business, without wasting time with a lot of directions.  To keep things fresh and interesting, I simply changed the clip art.

The different clip art (snowmen, snowflakes, mittens, Martin Luther King, penguins, New Years etc.) added variety.

Print, laminate and trim the number cards 1-120.  Toss them into a basket.  Have a child choose one, as the number students will use to fill in their worksheet with.  When kiddo's are done, they can exchange their paper with another child to correct.  (Saves you time, and provides extra practice for your kiddo's.)

You can also use these for your sub folder, homework practice, something for early finishers, or assessments.  Click on the link to view/download the January Number Fun Packet.   If you'd like the Big Bundle number fun packet (105 pages!) that includes all of the months, click on the link.

Students trace and write the numbers, circle the number in the sequence, add +1 to arrive at a new number and then cut and glue X number of snowflakes around the snowman. 

I've also included a graphing extension.  Click on the link to grab it. +1 Snowman Addition booklet. 

Finally, help review analog and digital time (to the hour and half hour) with the Time For Snow snowman clock matching game.  Print the snowman template on white construction paper; laminate and trim.  Run off the hatband-time words, the digital time-rectangles and the analog clocks; laminate and trim.

Run off the analog clock and digital time box templates, on glossy photo paper.  Children trim and glue to their snowman, to make a dry erase digital and analog clock. 

Teacher calls out a time and students draw hands on the clock and write in the digital time in the box, using a dry erase marker. 

Children hold up their snowman when they are done.  This is a quick, easy and fun way to whole-group assess. Students erase that answer and the teacher calls out another time. 

Play continues 'til you have reviewed all of the times to the hour or half hour.  Click on the link to view/download the Time For Snow matching game.

Obseussed With Numbers! Fun Activities For Dr. Seuss or Cat in the Hat Day.

I think students find it more fun to review report card standards if you give them a new twist by adding them to a theme day.

Print them off on two different colors so the game is easier to play.  I’ve also made cards for skip counting by 2’s, 3’s, 5’s, and 10’s and counting by 1’s for little ones.

If they spin a number they’ve already traced, they lose their turn.  The person who fills in their entire hat, or the one with the most stripes colored in by the time the timer rings, is the winner.

Seuss Time is played the same way, only with digital time to the hour.  I have also included digital time cards so students can make Itty Bitty time booklets as well.
