Place Value and Artichokes

I felt like we needed to work on place values so I pulled out some math manipulatives and Skip- Bo cards. The kids loved it and learned their place values up to 1000. That was one of those few instances when I felt like a truly successful teacher. They had fun, learned efficiently and still remember.For lunch we had the most beautiful and delicious artichokes I have ever seen or tasted. Joseph and Elsa loved them too. They were both so cute sitting a bit far away from the bucket where we discarded leaves that had been eaten. Because of this they took turns tossing the leaves in the bucket and congratulating each other saying, "Good shot!"
