Hide Zero Freebie & Sensory Fun!

Happy Sunday!

What is your countdown?

We have SEVEN more school days :)  We have a full week of NWEA testing (or as one of my students says "Nee-wah"), general education learning, & a field trip! The following week, our students have school Monday and a 12:15 dismissal on Tuesday.

This week, we'll be tackling one of my FAVORITE math skills: Hide Zero. Last year was the first time we used Engage NY and this concept was a huge lightbulb moment! This year I think my students have already figured it out when we were working with Making Ten. If I'm correct, they are going to snap up this skill quickly!

I used pastel "winter" cardstock:

We will also be exploring our weekly rotating sensory bin:

I wish you could smell the pine! 
I added sentence scrambler cards from my
Santa Sentence Builders packet:

What are you teaching this week? I'd love to hear from you :)

Lastly, I walked into my house Friday after a l-o-n-g week of teaching & testing and was met with this:



Plus a beautiful wreath/floral display - I haven't been able to snap a picture that does it justice. There were also holiday candles lit and Christmas music playing :)

 I rewarded Mr. D by sitting on the couch and immediately falling asleep. Oops!
