Our school had a Family Math & ELA night. Families were invited into all the classrooms and able to participate in Math and ELA activities. Families had passports that were stamped at the conclusion of each activity. I can't speak for anyone else but I had a great time. It was fun to meet some of the parents I didn't know and to let the kids have a good time! Mrs. Leverett and I have wanted to a Fairy Tale day all year so this worked out well! I had a Fairy Tale Readers Theater and she had a Magical World of Measurement.
Welcoming families
Mrs. Leverett's guinea pig "Pig" lived up to his name. He was the cheap entertainment, paid in hay. :)
Readers Theater: The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs
Amazing how even the big kids were enjoying it!
Measuring the beanstalk.
Measuring Rapunzel's hair with inch worms.
Measuring the length of Ariel's tail.
Calculating the area of the drawbridge. Great to see some of the older kids remembering the formula for area! :)
Weigh station: Tiara vs. Wand
Awesome actors.
Families were given Fairy Tale/ Folk Tale/ Fable packets. Each included a copy of The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs, 3 little pig finger puppets, Goldilocks & the 3 Bears finger puppets and miniature books, and masks with strings to make their own.
It was so fun to watch parents and students working side by side.
I kept joking that my decorations looked like a Fairy Tale Garage Sale. LOL :)
Tin foil tiara
Many students came but several were unable to attend soooo....I kept everything out for the next day and let all my kids enjoy the fun! We had a great day of measurement, sequencing, story telling, and fun!
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MY SWEET GIRLS WHO LET ME ROB ALL THEIR DRESS UP CLOTHES! :)
