Hippo Hooray for Second Grade
  
Greetings Bloggy Friends!!  This is Crystal from Ms.Jones' Junction!  I am a first grade teacher from South Carolina.   I have been blogging since July and have loved every minute of it... so much that I think Ihave become obsessed.  I just recently reached the goal of 200 Followers....  More about that in a minute!!

I am so excited to be a part ofthe guest blogging exchange -  “New Year, New Ideas, New Possibilities Linky Party, hosted by Stephanie, Stephany, and Kathi of  PrimaryPossibilities.  I’m thrilled to be a guest blogger at Primary Pointe a kindergarten blog.

Well I have a lot to cover so let's dive right in.  I have a cute craftivity/math activity that my firsties will be creating next week when I start my snow unit.  I just love this time of the year, but living in the south now, I don't get to see snow anymore.  It is a rarity if it snows at all in South Carolina.  So I try to bring the  snow to my littles.  They will be creating snow pals and practice some basic math facts at the same time with this Frosty Addition Craftivity:

Students will cut out all of the pieces


and form into a snowman



Student will then roll a die two times to create a number sentence. They will then use the commutative property of addition and turn thenumbers around to create switched partners.
for example: 3 + 5 = 8   and  5 + 3 = 8
My students always enjoy doing this activity.  I hope this is something that you can use in your classroom with your students.  I love letting my students have some fun while they are learning!!

Before I go I wanted to let you know that I am also having a 200 Follower giveaway on my blog.


 I will be giving away 20 items from my TN store and some sweet bloggy buds are helping me out with my giveaway so hop over and enter for a chance to win some great prizes!!!

I want to thank Julie for having me as a guest blogger.  Now I am going to check out the other blogs that have joined the linky party!

Have a Super Saturday

Crystal
