Winter Olympics Math 2014

Do you have Olympic fever?  I do.  I have always loved watching the Olympics since I can remember.  When I was younger, my cousins and my sister and I would pretend we were figure skaters with our socks on linoleum flooring.  I thought it would be fun to incorporate the Olympic fever into some math activities for my classroom this year.  Below are some samples:





Currently in my classroom, we just finished celebrating 100 days of school and have started a unit on skip counting in our math curriculum.  Also, I added in some common core skills with some algebraic operations in creating ten with addition.  I know that these are skills in math for most kindergarten classrooms at this time of year.  As much as I wanted to add some things in about Sochi, Russia or add some USA pride in it, I tried to make it as neutral as possible to provide usability again in four years and for other kindergarten teachers worldwide to use it.  I think it is a fun way to incorporate the excitement children may have watching the Olympics and dreaming about it into the classroom, especially in math, which can be hard to make interesting for everyone.  I also have included a graph activity so the class can find out their favorite winter sport!  You can find it at Miss Amy's Schoolhouse on TeachersPayTeachers or at: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Winter-Olympics-Kindergarten-Math-Activites-1105849.  

Enjoy and be blessed!!

Back to School Time: Kindergarten Math Common Core Practice Sheets

     Hello!!! It is that time of year again!  The time I love to walk through Wal-Mart, and Target and see all the fresh new school supplies!  I've always loved buying school supplies, so I guess it is only fitting I became a teacher!  Yesterday I bought myself some NEON Ticonderoga pencils at Target!  They are so fun and only $2.00 for ten!  Miss Amy will have some very special teacher pencils this year!  (By the way, Ticonderoga pencils are the BEST out there.  They are more pricey, but I promise they are more durable than any other brand.  And I should know, after all I teach kindergarten.  They can be pretty destructive!)
    Anyway, also in exciting news, I've finally opened my very own Teacher Pay Teacher store.  I'm starting off small.  My first thing to offer this week is a series of Math activities that are perfect for individual work, whole group work, or even center activities, all around a Back-to-School theme!  It is great to fill in those days before curriculum starts (which we all know can be a headache to try to plan), as a supplement to curriculum, and especially for new teachers to begin to create center activities!  Here are some sample pictures of the activities:



Here is a list of the activities and the corresponding common core skills:
1.Time for Class:  Counting with numbers 1-4. K.CC.1a, K.CC.3a, K.CC.4a)
2.How Many Pencils: Counting and writing numbers 1-4. K.CC.1a, K.CC.3a, K.CC.4a, K.CC.4b)

Come and check out my TpT store at Miss Amy's Schoolhouse! I'm currently offering the whole math theme at a discounted price for August, and if you aren't ready to commit, I have a free sample available as well!  Happy Back-to School shopping!
