Lines and Spaces

The 1st graders are practicing their lines and spaces on the staff. To practice, we used our lap packs and bingo markers to mark the 5 lines and the 4 spaces. We always practice counting from the bottom to the top, that way when we learn the note names in 4th grade, they follow the same rule. We also played a relay game where they had to race to put their foam dot on the correct line or space on the rug staff.
And can I just say again how much I LOVE my new flipForms?! They are absolutely perfect for creating small, organized groups when doing an activity like this!
