Newspaper Eggs

Just wanted to share another idea.

 "Egg"cellent Newspaper Eggs.

They look like this:

 

Just die cut old newspaper into ovals. Let kiddos highlight sight words, capitals, punctuation.
The link for the recording sheet to be pasted after the activity is below.
(students will fill in blank with which color highlighter they used)

St. Patrick's Freebies & Bunny Tales Craft

 I wanted to share a few things I plan to do this week.

 Check them out if you are looking for a few last minute activities:

 

I created these 4 writing sheets with a St. Patrick's theme:

If you can use them click here!

I will also have a Green Food Taste Test.  All foods we taste will grow green naturally (apples, broccoli, grapes, spinach(raw), snap peas(raw), & cucumbers). No cupcakes, candies, cookies... ;-)

Anyway if you plan to do the same I have created this to help you do so.

 Check it out here! 

I have also posted a new craftivity; "Bunny Tales".

This activity practices Narrative Writing while creating a cute craft!

A Look at Read Across America Math Stations & Lion & Lamb Freebie

Just wanted to share a few of my math stations:

Ordering Addition Number Sentences

Students were given various colored cards with eggs & ham pictured.

They were to order the addition problem & record their answer.

(So I realize the 9 is upside down in this snapshot; but hey, we've come a long way!)

 Fox in Dot Socks

Students were to count the dots on the colored socks.

They were to then match the sock to the correct fox and record their answer.

Sorting Fish

Students were to color fish by color. Then sort them into the correct section of the fish bowls.

So moving right into March...here is a poem describing the theory of March winds.

If you can us it click here!

Hope to be back soon to share more!

Dental Health Freebie & New Craftivities

So we will be discussing teeth/dental health this week. I thought I would share one activity I plan to do with my kiddos. I went to the $1 Store and found these toothbrushes (4 in a pack with caps!) and grabbed some toothpaste.

 We will continue practicing informational writing by explaining the steps of brushing our teeth. Of course we will recall the steps of the process while doing so at school!
 I whipped up this sheet...

How To Brush Your Teeth Sheet

Use it if you can! Let me know how it goes for you. In the mean time wish me luck!

I also wanted to share these 2 craftivities I have posted on TPT:

Magic E

We have been discussing & practicing the use of "Magic E" what better way to wrap up the concept and check for understanding than a craft?!

Snaggle Tooth

Here is a fun craft to practice subtraction. Since we will be discussing teeth/dental health and young children can relate to loosing teeth; I created this to practice the skill and have a little fun!

Check them out!

Spinning Sight Word Race (freebie!)

Good evening! Lucky Ducky if you had the day off for President's Day! Anyway just posting a freebie and sharing a product. First here is a little something to help practice sight words. We are required to do a sight word activity each day so keeping it interesting is sometimes challenging.
My kiddos love spinners and markers so...

President Activiites & Abacus Math

So tonight I have 2 things to share:

I have posted my Washington and Lincoln Themed Activities on TPT. I was sure to align each with Common Core Standards. Go check it out!

 

 

In the mean time here is a USA themed math activity.

Ordering Liberty Bells By 10s to 100 (CCK.CC.1)

 

Liberty Bells By 10s

 

 

I also attended a math workshop within my school system where I shared the following idea:

 

An abacus to work on addition. It covers the following standard:

K.OA.3   Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation

Thought I would share it with my visitors!   Find the activity here:

That's all tonight. Happy Early Valentine's Day! Since it is the wee hour of the morning...
