Penguin Addition

Penguins are in my top ten list of favorite animals!  They are just too cute.

I wanted to create a math and art activity along the theme of penguins.  Chalk Talk, had a great post of compiled penguin ideas.  In her file, I saw a photo of a penguin eating different colored fish.  Along with it was an addition sentence.  Since we were working on fact families, I decided to take that idea and spin it into my own fact family penguins. I also included an easy version, which works well for Kindergarten. You can click here to check out April of Chalk Talk’s original post and you can click the pictures below to download the file for free from TpT.

The kids had a great time making it and it took them a long time to rip up all the blue paper!

Kids will tell you everything! You know it is goi Kids will tell you everything!  You know it is going to be some drama when they start with “My mom told me not to tell you this but…” 

Parents, we know sometimes they exaggerate and we follow up for clarification, if we are concerned.  For example: One time a kid came in and said she was a 1 because her mom pushed her.  A little boy who was her neighbor and also in the class, said BUT she was trying to save you from getting hit by a car! 

What are some of the things you have heard or maybe your child has said?
