Making 10 Card Game

We are working on addition to 10, and today we learned the card game Make 10!

Mrs. Beliveau modified the rules from the original game posted here. 

A game board will go home with each student, but more can be printed here. Have a deck of cards? Then you can play at home!

Take out the face cards. This game uses Ace through 10. We treat the Ace as a 1. Using the game board, put out four cards on the spaces 1, 2, 3, and 4. Turn the rest of the deck over on the space marked "deck". 

Can you make ten using up to 4 cards?

Look, she found an easy 10! Set the 10 aside, and put out another card from the deck. 

Replenish any empty spaces with cards from the deck. 

Here's another 10!

Can't make 10? Choose one card to put on the bottom of the deck, and take the top card. 

There are lots of ways they made 10!

The kids have played today and should be able to explain the rules and play independently at home. Happy counting!

Freezing Outside, Toasty Inside!

We took our literacy to the hall, hunting for and recording words with the "sh" sound:

We heard the story of the Wise Men and made our own little stars as a reminder to follow Jesus:
