Tonight was our first Hot Dogs and Homework Night. We did it for Kindergarten and First grade parents and students. We only had a handful of students and parents, but it was a really successful night. We had great hot dogs, chips, and cookies and then split up. The kids went to work with the teachers, and the parents came with me to learn some math games. I had a blast showing the parents how they can play games with their kids at home that work on the standards that the teachers teach each day. We played Roll and Record, Blink, and War. These games help students to understand small numbers and quantities; count, compare, describe, and sort objects; as well as recognize and name basic geometric shapes and spatial relationships. They also teach students how to collect data and make picture graphs. These games are all easy to make and are fun to play. I look forward to our next one with the 2nd and 3rd graders next Thursday.
