So this post (and the next two..) is definitely a little late!
Kindergarten classes came into the library the week before Thanksgiving break and we had a ball working on number recognition and subtraction.
Students were given 'fresh-baked', laminated pumpkin pies that each bore a number from 1 to 10. After determining their number, students used kitchen tongs to place whip cream dollops (ok, so it was really cotton balls) on top of their pie!

It was so fun watching them share the tongs, learn how to use a tong in some cases, and decorate their pie with the correct number of whipped cream dollops!
Then, from the oven, came some tricky pies! These pies had subtraction problems on them that used numbers from 1 to 10.
They did a fantastic job solving those tricky pies and showed several strategies for finding the answer to subtraction problems.

At the end of our time together, we read I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie by Alison Jackson and vowed not to overeat during the holidays! But we all crossed our fingers....
