Christmas Centers

This week our centers were tricky.  Candy Cane counting has patterns on candy canes that we had to fill in. This was tricky as some of the patterns were counting by 1’s from a random number and some were counting by 2’s, 5’s or 10’s.  We also did gingerbread problem solving. We rolled dice and had to write addition or subtraction sentences depending upon what the sign dice showed. We also working on ABC order some more. This continues to be tricky for some of us especially when we have more than one word that begins with a letter. We also graphed candy canes by color and then had to add them up.  We had fun Christmas tree cards and used them to make number sentences.   Our listening center this week was There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell. After we listened to the story we had to sequence it.  Whew. It was a busy week at centers!
