Grumpy Monkey - Book Extension

In this book, Jim Panzee teaches children that it is OK to feel grumpy sometimes. No matter what his friends try to get him to do, there is no use. He is just having a grumpy kind of day. It is something with which we can all relate!! In this book extension we have provided many activities for writing about what makes you grumpy. We also included many other activities for comprehension, using quotation marks, and math.

Christmas Fun!

 

We had a lot going on during the three weeks before Christmas!  Here are a few pictures from December!

 

We graphed! 

Is your tree real or artificial?

 

 

We measured various Christmas Trees in inches and recorded the results!   

  

 Who doesn’t love using glitter!!!

 

 

 

 We worked on time!  We moved the clock ahead 1 hour each day. We also recorded what we are doing at that time.  Now we see exactly what we do over a 24 hour period. 

 

 

 

 

We practiced on odd and even numbers by adding 1 mitten to the chart each day.  This ia a great visual for odd and even numbers!   

 

   Word problems are fun when they’re about presents and ornaments!!  


Of course we did so much more, but never think to make pictures during this hectic time. 
Merry Christmas to you all! 

 

 

 

 

Monthly Math

We have compiled some of our favorite math activities into Monthly Math Packs!  Inside each pack you will find a variety of activities.  You do not have to use everything!  You probably won't have time!  There are several activities that you might want to use every week…not just one day.  The skill levels are varied so that you can differentiate as needed. We have been using most of these activities for 25+ years. We have been through Math Their Way, Marilyn Burns, Math Investigations, Calendar Math and 7 or 8 different textbook adoptions.  We would love to give credit where credit is due, but we honestly don’t remember where all the different ideas came from!  Most ideas were tweaked a little to fit our style or theme, but most ideas did originate from somebody!  If it was YOU and you want credit, let us know.  We will gladly give it to you.
