Valentines Math FREEBIE: Decomposing 10

By -



Valentine's Day is this week!!  To celebrate, I have a {FREE} heart-themed math activity set for you!  Just click here to download the file!  


How do these math games work?  You can play many ways:


 1- Cut out colored hearts. Instruct students to match the heart pieces together that add up to 10, and then place the match on one of the blank hearts. Continue until all six blank hearts have been filled with pairs that add up to 10. Record the matches on the sheet titled “I can make 10!”



2- Make a file folder game. Cut out colored hearts. Glue one half of each heart to the inside of the file folder. Laminate the pieces and let students match the halves together that add up to 10.

3- Give students the blank hearts and let them write in numbers that add up to 10.

4- Cut out colored hearts and glue one half of each heart on top of a blank heart. Give students the blank heart sheet (that now has a colored heart glued on top of half of each blank heart), and let your students write in the correct number on the other half of the heart.



I may share at any of these parties!

Thanks, Erika! It's a kindergarten standard both in the Texas State Standards and the Common Core, so it seemed like a good idea. ; )

Science Experiment: Elephant Toothpaste

By -

Update: "Elephant toothpaste" is a science experiment that I used to do with my high school students.  It is a strong multi-sensory demonstration that goes great with a lot of chemistry concepts. It is also very popular with preschoolers and homeschoolers!  The internet loves it too! It has now been read by more than 3.9 million people! This was the post that started the trend on science activity sites across the internet and "irl!"  Thank you for being here...I hope you enjoy it as well!  💕  This exciting science experiment works great in a discussion on reactions, as a demonstration, or as an actual experiment. We've also done seasonal twists with "elephant toothpaste" like making it in a pumpkin and using it for " reindeer toothpaste !" To use it as a science project, perform it once with your child, then ask your child what might happen if you changed the amounts or left out an ingredient.  Any time you experiment

This sensory lesson includes a kindness activity for kids that is short and sweet,  and makes teaching kindness a beautiful thing! Learning to use kind words with our friends is one friendship lesson that I think we can never cover enough...kids always need reminding (sometimes adults do too)!  You will need these simple supplies for the kindness activity: cotton balls, course sandpaper, cup, Should I Share My Ice-Cream by Mo Willems Directly teaching good friendship skills, like using kind words, serves two purposes: 1- You can refer to the lesson when someone forgets or needs reminding, and 2- These skills are not intuitive for all preschoolers. This is a perfect age to bring empathy and kindness to their attention and help them cultivate these skills! You can use this lesson plan exactly as I did it with our kiddos, or adapt it to fit your group! 1- Read  Should I Share My Ice-Cream  by Mo Willems.   {Image below is an Amazon Affiliate Link:} D

Crazy Cool Giraffe Science Experiment

Do you know what color giraffe skin is? Today we're using a capillary action science experiment to make our own giraffe skins in this fun giraffe science experiment project! (Read on...I'll tell you the color in a moment! AND I have a few more fun giraffe facts at the end! Anyway, go on and make a guess before you see the answer!) Fun Spot  Giraffe  Fact:  There are four different giraffe species:  the Masai Giraffe, the Rothschild Giraffe, the Somali Giraffe, and the Nigerian Giraffe.  Each has its own unique spot pattern.  Even more unique, every single individual giraffe has a different spot design.  Just like fingerprints on people and stripes on a zebra, spots on a giraffe are unique in every individual! Giraffe skin is mostly grey. (Were you right?) It's also really tough and thick.  The coat is a shade of tan with brown spots or patches.  Male giraffes actually get darker as they get older! To make our "giraffe skin" we're going to us
