So, last week I had surgery. It was supposed to be a somewhat small surgery, but turned into a pretty big surgery. I have been home on sick leave for about a week now, and am still not feeling very great. I think I have about 3 weeks to go. ugh. That means 2 more weeks of sub plans I need to write! I have a long road of healing in front of me.
I’ve been trying to finish up my penguin unit today, I only had a couple of things left to do before I had my surgery, and I’ve been trying for the last couple of days to do tiny bits of it, so I could get it out. I’m going to try to post it in the next few minutes, before I fall asleep
The week after break, we did our hot chocolate unit. Now, I can only hope that my sub finished it for me! I only got a few pictures snapped of our math centers since I was only in school for 2 days.
The kiddos LOVED this center! I had a bag of very stale marshmallows – it’s better if they’re hard! They scooped some out, counted them, and tallied the number. SO fun!
This was super fun too! The children rolled the die, and colored in the corresponding number of pennies. When they rolled a total of 10 pennies, they colored in a dime. The first one to get to the last dime was the winner. They were sure competitive!
We’re still practicing counting 1:1, counting up to the teens and remembering what that tricky teen looks like!
And of course, practicing patterns!
I don’t think I have any pictures of our literacy centers, if I find them on my camera, I’ll post them too!
Ugh, I think I need to go lay down now!
Get better soon! =)

Take care of yourself! I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better very soon. I bet your class misses you so much.
ReplyDeleteHI Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteI had thumb/wrist surgery 2 years ago and missed 9 weeks... I highly recommend going back for 1/2 day for a week.. the class moved on without you and you will have piles of stuff waiting for you. After half a day of teaching, you will be exhausted and ready for a nap. After your 1/2 day, you will be more ready to handle a full day of school. Take care of yourself!
