After they completed the project, I chose 2 students at a time and we compared our jack o' lanterns (they just had a ball thinking about which one "Alligator" was going to eat) and then I would choose 3-4 students at a time to order their jacks from greatest to least and least to greatest! We had so much fun with this activity.
This blog is the daily happenings in my 1st grade class. Here I will share tips, resources, and strategies that I have found useful in my classroom as a first grade teacher.

Jack O' Lantern Place Value
I brought back a fun and festive activity I did last year with my kids: Place Value Jack O' Lanterns! The kids had so much fun. Every student got their own number (modified based on abilities). I provided them with most of the cutouts to save time (they had to cutout their own circles). I used an old ice cream tub top for the pumpkin shape and made a semi - circle cutout for the mouth using black construction paper. Three triangles for the eyes/nose and they were able to make"tens and ones" teeth appropriate for the jack o' lantern. Click the picture below for the freebie recording sheet!
