Two posts in one afternoon. :)<br />
<br />
Here are my Piggy Bank Pigs that my Kinders LOVE! I purchased some coin stickers and these took just a few minutes to put together and laminate. It's a great way to differentiate! Throw some big coin combinations in for those Kinders who really know their coins. On the larger pig put the coin stickers and the smaller pig, put the amounts. Lay out all of the pigs and see if they can add the coin combinations and find the matching piglet. Enjoy!<br />

Here are two Work Station ideas.... the first is a Diggin' Through your Big Book station and the other is a star word station where the children write the words in different colors right next to each other to http://www.scribd.com/doc/5520135look like train cars. I couldn't get the last ones uploaded correctly. I think they'll work now! Happy Day!<br />

It's my first blog and first post ever! Here's a Math station I created for addition. In each baggie are the bunny and the correct amount of carrots. The children will show the different ways the bunny can carry that amount of carrots in her paws. They will then write the addition sentence. They will take turns with their partner to come up with as many different addition sentences for this one baggie before trying the next bunny bag. ( ex: 4 + 1 = 5, 5+0=5, 3 +2=5, etc.) </span><br />
