Mystery Number

January 25, 2013 misskindergarten 16 Comments

In November, I had a lovely blogging friend come visit my class, it was so much fun! She was so sweet, she even brought gifts!
Well one gift was from her brain, because she knows my obsession with songs, and she shared with me the cutest song she uses during calendar time! She wrote this song, called Mystery Number and sings it with her class every day!
Mystery Number
Written by Mrs. Felts
To the tune of The Muffin Man
I’m thinking of a number, a number, a number,
I’m thinking of a number,
Can you guess what it is?
The number has two digits, two digits, two digits,
The number has two digits,
Can you guess what it is?
There’s a ___ in the ones’ place, the ones’ place, the
ones’ place,
There’s a ___ in the ones’ place.
Can you guess what it is?
There’s a ___ in the tens’ place, the tens’ place, the
tens’ place,
There’s a ___ in the tens’ place
We know what the number is!
We found our mystery number, number, number!
We found our mystery number,
Our number is ___!
She even allowed me to type it up and make it all cute to share with you guys, isn’t she sweet!?
{If you aren’t sure how to download from Google Drive…click here!}Well, I introduced this little diddy to my class and they LOVED it! After each verse, I pause to let them guess. Sometimes I give my students a mini whiteboard and marker to write their guesses on. Sometimes we just do it orally. It has really helped them with understanding place value! We started with numbers 1-20, but now we are able to guess all the way up to 99!

I also made this fun little chart to hang up in our calendar area and write our mystery number on.
fonts and graphics by:
Sweet Times in First Grade
A Cupcake for the Teacher
Lettering Delights
When I first introduced it, I wrote the number first with dry erase marker, then covered each digit with a post it. Then we I revealed the ones place, I took the post it off, and again with tens place. Now, I have my students come up and write the number after we have guessed it.
I can’t thank you enough  Mrs. Felts!!

Boom Cards are my favorite 😍😍 I love that th Boom Cards are my favorite 😍😍 I love that they help make virtual learning more fun and that they’re self correcting so I know my kiddos are actually learning and not just moving objects around 🤪 These CVC cards are one of the eight decks in my February Boom Bundle! You can find them in my February Activity Bundle (link in profile) and they will added to my monthly boom bundle tomorrow!

Anyone else obsessed with center manipulatives!? 🤣 I shared my favorite ones that we use with our math and literacy centers (and most of them work for both!) on my most recent blog post. You can visit the link in my profile to check it out. 💃🏼

What’s your all time favorite manipulative? I love how @playfullykindergarten uses and stores her mini erasers too!

By now you know @applesandabcs is my best friend a By now you know @applesandabcs is my best friend and I just can’t help but share how extremely talented she is! I am lucky enough to work side by side with her as we run @targetteachers and @enchantedlittlelearners together and figure out how to raise and teach our two little kiddos in the middle of a pandemic 🤪 These sensory bins she created are an awesome mix of fun, fine motor, and learning and I love to use them at home just as much as I loved using them in my classroom! If you don’t follow Michelle yet, get on that! 🤣😍😍 #saturdayteachershare
