Leaf Math Cards 

Leaf Bucket Math Card Download

Set out a supply of craft foam leaf for counters.  You can purchase them from a dollar store.  Give each child a bucket math mat, one dice and one dry erasable marker. 

Have children roll the dice and identify the number on the dice.  Next have the children count out that number of leaves and place them in one of the buckets.  Once the children have filled their first bucket with the right amount of leaves have them roll their dice again and do the same thing with the second bucket.  Once both of the buckets are full have them add the two together and write the amount in the square.

To make the math mat simply click on the link above and make copies of the math mats onto card stock.  Cut each sheet in half and then laminate for durability

Paper Plate Web with Spider

Children first painted a white paper plate black and gave it a little glitz by sprinkling glitter onto the wet paint.  

Once the plates were dry children cut slits around the edge of the paper plate.  Next they wrap yarn around the paper plate and trough each slit.  When finished they attached the end of the yard to the back of the plate with tape.

Children then went to the spider making station where they created a spider out of apple carton circles.  Children colored the top of the apple carton black, purple, or blue and punched four holes around the edge with a hole punch.  The last step was for them to thread the pipe cleaner through the holes and twist for the legs and also glue on eyes.

So take a break and do a little something for you.

After a long week of work it was time for my break for the week.  I spent my break under the Friday night lights of our homecoming football game where my youngest son was up for homecoming king along with his girlfriend.

We spent a fun filled evening with family (children home from college) and friends.  

Now take the time for you it can be anything, just do something you deserve it!
