Candy and Math

Busy day today. Even though the sun was shining SO bright it was very very cold outside. The kids loved playing with the playdoh and those ( darn) bells. Dillion has found a new love of doing puzzles. Many times through the day you will see him take one off the shelf.












We used cardboard hearts to play the " Heart Hokey Pokey" and then we found our friends with matching hearts. In small groups today we had a graphing activity with Sweetheart candies. As I sit and do these activities with the kids , I remember it is SO much more than just graphing. In the picture above, I told the little girl to put her pink one ABOVE her other candy. She did.... Not exactly what I meant, but she did know what above means.We talked about more and less and zero . ( These boxes had no white ones.) We also counted the candies and used problem solving . There were blue candies in the box but no space for a blue . What can we do?



The loft is a popular place lately. There are game and books up there. It is an old bunkbed that we re-purposed . The bottom is our art center.
Whew.. that looks busy...
The kids LOVE cereal day.
That is a tape measure across the room and the kids are playing LIMBO under it.
Measuring the door.

Busy busy.. day.

  1. I love your music set up next to the (darn) :)bells!! I also love that your loft is a re purposed bunk bed... not that I have enough room, but I would love to have one. As for all those creative ideas... I seem to remember getting quite a few from you!!!
