SPLASH MATH! Awesome Apps

So FUN!
Splash Math is a FUN way to practice math. 
It comes with a virtual aquarium where you can earn fishes and play. 
And I keep playing this.
After all I have to check it out. wink ;)

I have been playing on the free app for 1st Grade.  I can play 20 questions in a day.
It is fun and I like it.

It covers 1st Grade curriculum. 
It is aligned to the common core!!
Available at the App Store for
iPad, iPhone or iPod.
There is an app for each grade 1st up to 5th.


I am looking forward to using it on my iPods in 1st Grade.
I am going to recommend it to 
parents and teachers.

WHAT'S THE TIME?




You might be surprised if 
you are revisiting.
I added the video and lost 
my first record sheet.
Bummer!
I will try to add it again.

A FUN Way To Learn To Tell TIme!
WHAT'S THE TIME?
http://youtu.be/RBvmO7NgUp0

Now you are ready to read the time to the half hour times.
Now they record time as 9:30,
then 10:30 and so on.

When they are ready to tell time every half hour use the What's The Time? sheet with ten lines.
Now they record the time as 9:00, 
then 9:30, then 10:00, and so on.

It is FUN and meaningful to learn time 
in real time.

Here Is A FUN Book To Teach Time!

THE MITTEN By Jan Brett - A Story2Share

A Great Story!
I LoVE This Story!
It is so fun to read this story on a cold 
and snowy day.
We have a Ton of FUN acting it out.
I bring an old white sheet to school to use as our white mitten.
That is the only prop we need to have a wonderful little play.

Click the image above to purchase this FUN book.

My SunnyDaz Kids help me retell the story.
We take turns being the animals and snuggle under the sheet and pretend we are in a mitten.
They like to do it over and over.
There are so many characters in the story that soon everyone has a turn.

FIVE LITTLE SNOWMEN - Song

It Is Winter Time FUN Somewhere 
So Here We Go...


Five little snowmen fat!
Each with a funny hat,
Out came the sun,
And melted one
What a sad thing was that.
Down, down, down.

I have sung this little song with my 
SunnyDaz Kids over and over.
They love to be the snowmen 
and act out the song.
It is always fun to melt down 
to a puddle on the floor.

As each snowman melts 
we change the number card on the chart 
to match how many snowmen are left.  

We also check our fingers,
There were 5 snowmen - show 5 fingers,
One snowman melted - put 1 finger down.
How many snowmen are left - show 4 fingers.
5-1=4
Five take away one makes.....four!
Repeat each verse with one less each time.

Have FUN with this song!

ARKive For FATHER'S DAY - WEB-WOW!

Dear Reader,
You Have to check out ARKive's 
Of The Wild Variety!
A Link to a wonderful window to wildlife dads.
The pictures are always awesome.

I knew Seahorses were great dads.
I have shared that with my SunnyDaz Kids but
I learned about more proud papas like 
Furry Father Foxes, 
Caring Clownfish and 
Fearsome Father Wolverines.
Some of the dads were new to me.
I can hardly wait to share these dads too.
Check out all
TOP TEN DADS

I was feeling sad because I did not have 
a post for Father's Day.
Then ARKive sent me this cool email...

KINDER KIDS I SEE COLORS BOOK: I See Blue


What Colors Do You See?  
We made our own book the first week of Kindergarten!
FUN!

DEAR READER,
During centers each team made a page for our classroom book of COLORS!
First we played I Spy With My Little Eye Something That Is Blue.
We found many blue things.

Together we shared the pen and wrote 
I see blue.
We counted each word.
I held the pen and showed where we would start to write on the page.

Word I
One child knew the word I so she held the pen and wrote I.
Finger Space - I used my finger to show where the first finger space would be.

Word see
We stretched out the word see and listened for the sounds we could hear. 
We heard 2 sounds /s/ and /e/.
One child knew how to make an s 
and another child wrote the ee.
Finger Space - this time another child used their finger for the finger space 
between words.

Word blue
We stretched out the word blue 
and heard the /b/ sound first.
This word was pretty tricky. 
We used that /b/ clue to find the 
word blue on the blue marker.
Another child copied the word blue.

Period(.)
We needed to end our sentence with a period.   
I showed where it would go and 
another child made the dot for the period.

Everyone in the center group helped write.
When a new group came to the center 
they wrote about another color. 
We put all our pages together to make our 
I See Colors Book
and it was so much 
FUN!

Each Sunny Daz Kid in the center drew 
a picture of something that was blue.

My Sunny Daz Kids LOVED This Book!
You will too.
Try it and come back and tell me.
Enjoy!
