GO RED SOX!

Alrighty, you caught me! Die hard Red Sox fan here (and any Boston Based team, really...)!! So when the Red Sox are in the World Series, you had better believe these teachers will incorporate the Sox in anyway to their lessons! Today was no exception! With game six going on tonight, and a chance for the Red Sox to clinch the series, there was high demand for Sox themed lessons! And that is just what today brought to Kindergarten! Each teacher donned some sox apparel in support of our team and my center was devoted 100% to sox themed learning!

There was a little game that one of the teachers at my school had come up with that was a board game (shown below) and the kids LOVED playing it! The game helped them with subitizing their numbers and the dice which is such an important skill to have! After a little while of playing it though, they got a little antsy and so we moved to the next activity coloring in the Red Sox logo and writing "Go Red Sox" on the sock. They loved this, and they got to practice their letters. It was great all around!

This is just a rough sketch of the game board and the general idea (again, I totally forgot to take a picture of it but I decided to recreate it because it was just ingenious. LOVED THIS!

The pieces were also adorable - they were laminated pics of some of the better players and their names written underneath all attached to those colorful stander-upper things that game boards come with (I hope you know what I mean or else I just sound utterly ridiculous!)

This was a great day to be in Kindergarten!

Happy almost Halloween! 

Keep Creating!

Love,

Ms. Jaclyn
