Multiplication and Area

 

Hello friends!! We have been busy working in math class with multiplication and area. We have created some cute caterpillars and butterflies to show the different ways to represent multiplication. As soon as I can figure this thing out I will put a link with the document I used to create these adorable crafts. And you know what, it came handy with our butterfly life cycle we were working on in science.

Multiplication Caterpillar
I printed these out in card stock paper. On the leaf I wrote the multiplication fact I wanted the students to work on. As you can see the caterpillar body serves as the different ways to represent multiplication.

On the body of the caterpillar I wrote the multiplication fact I wanted the students to work on. The butterfly winds serve as the different ways to represent multiplication.

Area Superheroes

Last week we finished learning about area. Finding the area of different figures. My kiddos thought this was the easiest concept all  year long. We almost a whole week to go over it. To close the concept my students created these adorable area superheroes. I got the idea from here "Area Superheroes" My students really enjoyed making these cuties. You can tell some of them just wanted to make sure I knew it was a girl superhero.

Well that's it for now. This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Today we were treated to breakfast at our school. Tomorrow we get lunch, which made it easier for me. Didn't have to pack anything. I hope all of you are feeling appreciated not just this week but all the time.

Financial Literacy

Hello everyone! Are you watching the Super Bowl? My hubby has the game on full blast and I'm just sitting here trying to work. Well it's been a long time since I wrote a post. My goal is to write a post once a week (we'll see how that goes). Have you started working in the new financial literacy SE? Last week it was all about financial literacy in my classroom. Although the book had some problems and whatnot. I went ahead and created a little something to help and reinforce what we have learned so far.

My evening has just started. Bath time for the little one, lunch is packed, school bag ready. Hope you guys have an awesome week of school. I'll give a set away to the first person that makes a comment.

Ok, here we go again. I originally started this blog blog after going to a training last school year. I was determined to keep it up and actually share it with my parents this year. Well, that didn't work, summer came along and didn't even remember I had a blog. Then we started school over a month ago, and realized most of my students don't have computers at home. My plan to share this blog with parents went out the window.

I'm taking a new approach, and I hope this time it will work. I am a bilingual teacher in Texas. And I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to find resources in Spanish for my classroom. On this blog I will share my classroom adventures with my students, and resources that I have made for my classroom. I hope you enjoy and thank you for visiting my blog.
