How Many Band-aids?

Band-Aids by Shel Silverstain

I have a Band-Aid on my finger, 
One on my knee, and one on my nose,
One on my heel,
and two on my shoulder,
Three on my elbow
and nine on my toes.
Two on my wrist, and one on my ankle,
One on my chin, and one on my thigh,
Four on my belly, and five on my back,
One on my forehead, and one on my eye.
One on my neck, and in case I might need'em
I have a box full of thirty-five more.
But oh!  I don't think it's sort of a pity
I don't have a cut or a sore!

I had such a good time working with Ms. Breeden's 1st grade math class this week.  Students used cubes to count how many band-aids were put on me as Ms. Breeden read them the poem listed above.  They had to add cubes to a tower and put them into groups of ten as we went along.  The colored band-aids went well with my outfit!  *Pictures coming soon.


Some other fun things this week were getting to see students enjoying some Valentine's Day celebrations and expressing their inner hippie on SCA spirit day!
