St. Patrick’s Day Activities:  Ten Lucky Leprechauns

If you read my “Ten Grouchy Groundhogs” post, you would have seen that I love incorporating literacy into my math instruction! AND I love Kathryn Heling’s series of “Ten…..” books!  Ten Lucky Leprechauns begins with one leprechaun searching for other leprechaun friends and treasures. This particular book lends itself perfectly to adding one.

The adorable illustrations are vibrant with color, while the rhyming text is full of new vocabulary words. As we read, we take time to define these words using the context clues from the text on that page.

During our math instruction, I reread the story. This time, I have the students act out the story using a ten frame and counters. I stop after each page so that the students can model the story. Then, we orally recite the number sentence that fits this story problem…such as one plus one equals two.

After reciting the number sentence, we record it on our response sheet. We continue modeling the story with our ten frame and recording the number sentence until we reach the end of the story, which by the way is incredibly cute!

As a dedicated Kindergarten teacher for nearly 20 years, I believe the words “fun, play, and creativity” can sit right alongside the words “developmentally appropriate, engaging, and rigorous.” Learning is meant to be fun and messy!

    Hi,

    As I was looking through the activities you shared here, I saw that the sight word identification game contains scrambled words. Once I read, I think in a book called The Dirt on Learning by Thom&Joani Schultz, that it is not helpful for children to solve problems like that, even though it might sound like fun, because the brain remembers even the scrambled words and it will cause confusion for the child.

    I thought I would share this with you to ponder and read upon.

    Thanks,

    Beata
