The Mitten A Math Bump It! Game

I have been begging, pleading and even whining for some snow here in Greensboro, North Carolina. Snow is a fickle thing in our area. One year we could have three huge snows and then no snow for a year. On the last day of school also the first day of winter we had snow flurries! Of course the kids went bonkers!! I never miss an opportunity for authentic learning so we grabbed our coats and out the door we went. The children were thrilled and so was I. When you teach little ones you have to remember that any opportunity could be the first experience for learning about something. We really don't get tired of snow or least I don't. The only time we are truly bummed out is when we miss a lot of school and we are still in class near the middle of June. Right now we are not thinking about that and we just want some snow for sledding, making snow cream and building snowmen. Since I have snow on the brain I created this math game to go with the story The Mitten. You can download the game at my Teachers Pay Teachers Store I hope you enjoy this free math game and think snow! If you do not have an account at Teachers Pay Teachers email me at idreamoffirstgrade@aol.com and put Mitten Bump It in the subject line! I will email you a copy.

  8. Hi Sarah,
    Thanks for visiting my blog! I'm now following you:)
    You were asking about the software I use for my clip art. I'm using a Wacom tablet (Bamboo Splash) with Illustrator software. Best of luck to your daughter! And thanks for the free game. Love it!
