Aesop Play Friday, May 12   1:00 and 6:30 PM

Math Stations  1) ipad    Kids A-Z  and  XtraMath.   Congrats to Hannah M for completing the Addition!!!  2) Measure Tails.  How long is a cheetah tail?  Monkey?  Cut a strip of paper that long and label it  3) Coin Exchange-  WHAT FUN!  Each child rolls a dice and get that number of cents from me, the banker.  As they get more money they can exchange coins for bigger ones (two nickels for a dime…).  The first kid to $.50 wins.  We played this today (5 kids and me) for the first time.  It was awesome! Try it at home.  4) Using a grid, coordinate points, and drawing symmetrical shapes.  

ANTS (12 kids)  will need a small bag with supplies (stuffed animal, granola bar in a  package, small blanket, shirt) for a prop during the play.  I told the 12 ants who they were.  The other 11 are grasshoppers and won’t need this bag.  They are not busy packing!!! :)

Cinco de Mayo  We will be celebrating in our class with more stories with a Mexican flare, poems, Spanish vocabulary, art and a geography lesson about Mexico!
