Last week our story was Pig in Wig. I *love* this story and it's always a hit with my kids too. On Friday we made our own Pigs in wigs and completed our Realism and Fantasy chart.
It's almost Johnny Appleseed time! I love this time of year and celebrating Johnny Appleseed's birthday is one of my favorite celebrations in first grade. I thought I'd share some of the centers *in action* so you could see how they are done. I'm a visual person and I always like to see centers being done. :)
Apple Addition: Students will write the complete addition sentence after they have matched up the addition picture to the sum.
Sorting Odd and Even numbers

What's the Missing Number? This targets which numbers come before after and in between.
