Helping Animals Video

We made a video about helping animals after Alyssa from Alyssa's Ark Small Animal Rescue came to see us.  She needs old blankets, towels and old clothes for animal beds if you have any to donate.

Math Game: More or Less Board 2

Here's a variation of the previous game.  We are currently playing on this board  at school using 1 die only (but feel free to try 2 dice!)

Materials:
* 2 dice
* a gameboard for each player
* bingo chips or other objects for markers
* spinner (we used heavy paper and a fastener to make ours!)

How to Play:
*the first player rolls the dice and adds together the numbers on the dice
*the first player spins the spinner
*the first player covers the square that corresponds (ie: roll a 2 + 4=6 and spin 1 more, then cover 7) 
*the next player goes and follows the same steps
*a player wins when he or she covers 5 squares in a row


Variations:
* cover all squares to win (blackout game)
*play with 1 die
