Glue a straw or stick on the back of each character and create a puppet. Then write a play about that character and perform it. Use Stanley Stickers to create a scavenger hunt. Place stickers of numbers and objects on border background. Print out the pages and challenge your child to find the objects shown, making a check mark on each page as the items are found.
Students can make scavenger hunts for each other.
On November 26, the Champs crew will be at Otterbein for computer training. They will be learning lots about ClarisWorks so they can help you and your students do newsletters, mailing labels, simple spreadsheets and databases. They will also be mastering the techniques of making slide shows with ClarisWorks, an even easier way to show off your students' work than Kid Pix. Other math skills enhanced through the program include place value and using a calculator. As students use the program, they solve word problems that make use of dynamic graphs, charts, maps and other data that reflect real-life contexts.
