Leprechaun T-R-A-P-S

Our class made Leprechaun T-R-A-P-S this year!  The kids first needed to draw a blueprint of their idea.  Then they worked at home to build the T-R-A-P.  Once the T-R-A-P-S were brought to school, the kids did a small presentation to the class.  They told the class what was used to build the 

T-R-A-P, how it was to work and then demonstrated the T-R-A-P.  Now we just needed to wait for the Leprechaun to show up!

Place Value Scavenger Hunt

To finish our place value unit in math, the kids went on a little scavenger hunt around the room.  They had to find the twelve hidden bags.  Once found, the kids had to empty the cubes and decide how many ten rods and ones were inside.  The answer was placed on the activity sheet.  Once all twelve bags were recorded, the kids had to place bags 1-6 in order from least to greatest and bags 7-12 in order from greatest to least!  Lots of math in this fun activity.

STEM- Goldilocks and the Three Bears

     During our Fractured Fairy Tales unit, we did a little STEM activity with our Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  The kids had to plan a chair that could hold all three of the bears, without breaking.  After they created their plan, they then had to build it.  Many of their plans worked on the first try!
