Welcome back!

Welcome back!  I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday break.  It was nice having the time off, but it is good to get back into the swing of things.

This week, our theme is winter.  Now, where is the winter weather?  I am okay without it, but it would make the winter theme a little more authentic with a little white stuff from the sky.

Today in class, we played a math game called Train Game.  The students worked in pairs with 15 cubes and a die with the numbers 1, 2, and 3.   The goal was to build a "train" out of the cubes by putting them together as they rolled the die.  The students took turns rolling the die and putting that number of cubes on the "train."  The winner was the student who had his/her "train" together first.  It seemed like the students did well and enjoyed the game.
