I am so excited to finally have a blog. This is my first and I can't wait to start sharing ideas and activities that I use in my first grade class. I have always loved using Publisher to create new activities and through blogs I have discovered the endless fonts, borders, and clipart out there. It is amazing how many ideas are out there and how much easier they make my job. I hope this blog helps other teachers as much as I have benefited from the incredible blogs already sharing.
Our first graders have been working hard to master addition strategies. Right now they play a lot of Doubles and Near Doubles games. To celebrate this first post I am sharing one of their favorite games...
Double Dare. Do you remember this game show from the 80's? In this card game students have to answer double addition problems or complete a challenge. The physical challenges in this game are not messy like the TV show but the kids had a blast trying to do the challenges.
