This Plus That: Life's Little Equations
(You can check out a description of the book at this link: http://www.amazon.com/This-Plus-That-Little-Equations/dp/0061726559)
In this book, the author makes addition and subtraction (and occasional multiplication and division) equations such as:
wishes + candles = birthday
book + chair = cozy
chalk + sitting = learning
chalk + jumping = hopscotch
The students enjoyed predicting the answer to each equation as we read the book aloud. (They had some really good thoughts!)
After we finished reading the story, they came up with some of their own equations. Here are a few I remember from their journal entries:
Jesus + Mary + Joseph = Holy Family
mom + dad + me = family
pop + chips = snack
Bears + touchdown = awesome!
family + church = Sunday
I am always amazed by their creativity! I love learning with them and from them each and every day.
