The Same or Different? Opposites

Do you know your opposites?






Toys: Spaghetti Dolls, Houses, and school bus; Opposite Puzzles, Buck-a-Roo, and ABSeas Games.

Snack: Carrots, Craisins, and Graham Crackers.

Fun to point out different opposites at Snack Time. Rebekah is holding a thin and fat carrot. I'm holding a small and a big cracker. 



Circle Time:  
Math-Graph...most of the class did not know what an opposite was!8-3
 An opposite is something completely different from another thing.
A person or thing that is totally different from or the reverse of someone or something else.
We had fun talking about opposites--
city/country, wet/dry, front/back, sitting/standing, winter/summer, coming/going, clean/dirty, in/out, whole/smashed, top/bottom,  



My daughter, "Miss Rebekah," joined us today and helped us to practice our opposites. (High school Juniors took the ACT exam and all other grades stayed home today).  Miss Jessica is on a cruise in Mexico.  Lucky lady!

My Opposites Game:  
 
Inside Recess:   
We watched Harry The Dirty Dog (Scholastic, DVD)
We reviewed Safety Ideas and when to call 9-1-1 (in fire, accident, or robbery, for instance).  Please help you student(s) to know their full name, their parents first names, your address, and phone number.  One way to learn this is to have them practice repeating these facts (7 times).

Snow Day!
