Team Explore has holiday spirit. We took some time to get our room ready for winter and the holidays. We had some bulletin boards to switch up and needed some festive touches in our environment.
We have so many bulletin boards this year, which is great. However we felt a bit stuck on what to put on all them. We have the basics, math word wall, word wall, inquiry board, etc. Then there were 2 with work from the beginning if the year still. Yikes! One is a reflection calendar, we will save that for a later date. Then I thought the other could be a seasonal or themed one that was more 'just for fun' board. Students decorated gingerbread cookies for a fun holiday bulletin board in our room. They had such a great time getting to color with their peers. It is always nice to have some down time to enjoy each other's company.
We also made our snowman addition projects. Students picked two number cards at random. The numbers were matched to their math group ensuring they were adding numbers that were right for them. They had one number has white snowflakes, and then the other number was blue snowflakes. They filled in a sheet to say how many of each were falling on the snowman and wrote a number sentence to match. It was a great activity and painting with hands is always exciting! We did get this idea from Pinterest. We created our own templates and writing portion after researching some winter math crafts.
