Let’s Go to the Beach!

Okay, so we are in the middle of the midwest and there really isn’t a beach – unless you count the shorelines of the 10,000 lakes in Minnesota and the Red River of the North.  But, we can use our imaginations, right?
I needed something for this last week of school that would keep the kids engaged in centers! So far, after day 1, they are doing great!
Here is what is in my drawers for the week:

At this center, the children “dig” in the sand for shells and write the digraph that they here on each shell.

The children LOVE these mixed up sentences, so I knew that this one was a perfect center for this week.

And anytime we can use those fishing poles from Lakeshore!  Inside the fish tank are fish with sight words on them. They fish out the fish and write the sight word.

This center was a hit! The children sat on the floor and tossed the ball to one another.  They wrote the word that their hand was closest too.  Fun!

At this math center, the children scooped out some shells, counted them, and wrote the number and tallies.

We needed a little bit more practice with subtraction too!

Practicing time to the hour.

And the always popular count the room!

Stay tuned for some fun pirate activities we are also working on! The kids are having so much fun.  We have our field day tomorrow, and we are done on Thursday.  Phew!
