That's right... I have teamed up with my Freebielicious friends again to share some teaching tricks and special treats for you!!! First things first, I want to share my TRICK!!!
Kids LOVE painting, but it is super difficult when the kids get covered in paint! I have learned a little trick over the years to help keep their little hands clean!
Here is the tip: Use a clothespin and pinch a small piece of sponge! The kids sponge paint and their hands stay CLEAN!!! This easy tip will go a long way when it comes to saving time in your classroom!
My treat is part of a math lesson that I used when my principal observed me! ;) My students are having trouble with ordering numbers. I made these fall leaves for the students to place in the pocket chart.
To incorporate ELD (English Language Development) we practiced saying, "I see number ____." They each had their turn pointing at a number in the pocket chart while saying the number sentence!
For extra practice, I made number necklaces and we practiced standing in the correct number order. The kids that didn't have a number necklace where my helpers and we made sure the numbers were in order.

Hop along to the next Freebielicious friend {Mrs Hoffer's Spot} to see what her Trick & Treat is!
If I'm ever brave enough to sponge paint, I will remember this tip!! :)
