So we meet again!
It's me Christy from Crayons and Whimsy... and if you missed my first post on this lovely blog well you can read my "Meet Me" post right {here}
December has begun and it is just so hard. Right? Where should I focus my attention? On assessments? Eating chocolate? Report Cards? Holiday shopping? Teaching? Watching Elf?
Oh that's right.....
The answer is ALL of the above plus more!
So I wish us all luck to make it.
Today I am sharing a simple December math activity. I love to send this one home, but it works in class too.
It is a Christmas Carol Graph! We gather data about everyone's favorite carol and graph it.
I make a big deal about the gathering part.... I tell them...when you get home you need to talk with your parents about WHO will be your ten people to gather this important data from. And I suggest they are the ones to make that phone call {with an adult right there of course!}
I always push for family... because let's be honest, how much does a grandparent love getting the, "What is your favorite Christmas Carol call?"
Here is a little sample action for you!
Now I need to switch gears for a minute... Can we talk about how much I adore the song Must Be Santa. Love it!!!
It was brought to my attention that not everyone knows this one. What? How can this be? {It may account for the one sad bar colored in the above sample....probably from my vote!}
So two things:
1. Please listen to this song- I recommend that Raffi version.
2. I provide ANOTHER VERSION with Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Don't even tell me you don't know that one!
It's ALL FREE right here:
Last thing.... did you know Primary Powers has joined forces with GoNoodle for some giveaway fun! There are a ton of things you can win! Click HERE to come on over to my little blog and you can click here to see the giveaway going on right here...for just a few more days.
P.S. It's Friday.... you made it to the first Friday in December! I am in serious countdown mode. Serious.
As in... I own this:
My sweet friend Renee at Colvie Creations made it for me and I think I need to ask her to make me a new one that counts down the days to Christmas break. Yeah, Christmas Day is pretty special, don't get me wrong... but a countdown to days in school could work well for me right about now.
Good luck and enjoy the weekend!
