A Royal Battle

We began the day with our new hundreds board.  It offered lots of opportunities for pattern finding, number review, and counting.



In history, we learned about two kins of ancient Egypt - the red crown king and the white crown king.  Kings, like sisters, sometimes have trouble sharing and they fought each other to be the only king.


Alas, the red crown king had to surrender his crown and land.


And the new symbol for the leader of a unified Egypt became a white crown with red on top.
Can you feel the power?


The new royalty had no problems with a review of shapes and ordinals.


A big hit was the new geometric solids bag.  You pull a wooden shape out of one bag and then feel in the other bag for the shape that matches it.  Look at those thinking faces!
