Countdown to Winter Break

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0  - Sounds easy right?!?  Well try counting back from 20 - it can be quite funny and my kids every year need a little bit of extra help with this. 

So why not countdown the day to winter break!  We have 18 days (not school days...we only have 15  14 more of those.)

In order to make this even more fun we decided to make a chain of paper links to send home with the kids today.

This is an image of MY chain that we will use every morning.  We will count up to see how many and then countdown to see how many are left.

Here are a few pictures of my kiddos hard at work:

Do you do anything fun to countdown the remaining days until break?
