Hello readers! I’m sorry I’ve left you for so long. Things are starting to calm down a little in our second month of school, so get ready for more Goodies! Let’s start with Estimate and Measure with Chef Pierre from Compass Learning Odyssey. This is a great activity for K-1. Estimate how many cinnamon rolls each pan will hold, then measure to see if you are correct!

I was inspired by something I saw today using the old “drag and drop” trick at our District SMART Board Workshop. I put on my thinking cap and created a piggy bank drop file for your students to use to count out coins. Make sure you turn up the volume to hear the coins actually fall into the piggy bank! Click here to download it. Enjoy!
