Education Cubes


Education Cubes Show & Tell



MATH
I used the cube for graphing, using the rainforest roll and graph from 2TeachingMommies.com, but I attached the pieces of the die to the blank template to fit them in the education cubes.  He would roll the cube and mark the graph for each animal he rolled.



HANDWRITING
I used the Capital Letter sheets to review the letters C has learned to write up to this point.  He rolled the cube and then wrote that letter.  We then did our writing practice on the windows, the window panes made the perfect surface for writing a letter, since HWT (Handwriting without Tears) uses a rectangle surface for beginning writing (such as a mat, a chalk board, or a gray box on the worksheet). We also did the same thing for writing on the practice workbook page.  (forgot to mention, we used window markers for writing on the windows!)

  1. What a great idea to use the windows! My daughter loves to color (on EVERYTHING much to my dismay) this would be a fun idea to get her to practice. I love anything that makes learning feel more like a game or art activity than work! :)
