Five For Friday- 3/13

Five for Friday- 3/13

 

Welcome to my randomness from the week. Be sure to check the other Five for Friday Posts at Doodle Bugs Teaching.

We changed our kitchen area into an ice cream shop! This was a huge hit and hilarious to watch students work the ice cream shop with the fake phone ringing for students to place orders and fun to watch students eat the ice cream they purchased. Orders were not accepted for brown, white or pink ice cream or banilla. 

Our chickens at home are laying eggs again. Who needs a basket when you have a shirt?

I am joining the stereotypical teachers and picked up my first pair of glasses this week. BTW, if you are on the computer a lot you should get glasses with a blue filter to protect your eyes. 

We met with a math consultant this week to reflect on the lessons she recorded of us teaching math last week. She always brings us goodies and this week she brought us these cool foam magnetic ten frames. You should have heard our cheers for a ten frame- ha we are such teachers! 

I never did post a pic of our Dr. Seuss Horton Hears a Who Door. We put each student on their own speck of dust (flower). The kids call it the "speck of dust" door. 

I hope you enjoyed my randomness for the week! 

Five for Friday

Five for Friday

I had lots of fun this week with Read Across America Week! We dressed up each day according to a school theme and had a Book Parade Friday!

My class dressed up as Olivia by Ian Falconer. I told the boys to wear red and they were Oliver...or Olivia's brother Ian. My Para dressed up and another teacher and para dressed up as The Three Little Pigs. 

We read If I Ran the Zoo and then students water color painted their own animals and wrote a description of their animals. We are learning about animals in our science unit at the moment, so this lesson was perfect! 

We read one of my favorite books, If I Built a House by Chris Van Dusen. I then gave students papers to draw their house and some students asked for more than one paper while others completed theirs on one. Students then wrote to tell about each fun room in their house. One little girl made a Hello Kitty House, many girls had a make-up room with lip gloss, and they liked the part of the book with a huge slide so many incorporated that into their house as well. 

Math Consultant came to video tape a lesson this week and we were playing Drop It Like It's Hot! Lots of fun. Next week we meet as a grade level to watch the videos and reflect. 

New bookshelf from donorschoose!

I really enjoy using donorschoose to acquire much needed resources for my classroom and this week my new book shelf was delivered.

Peek At My Week! 3/1

I am attempting this "Peek At My Week" Linky with Mrs. Wills. Click on the image below to link back to the original post by Mrs. Wills and take some more peeks.

I had links on each of the photos below, but it seems they are not working. I am still fiddling with it to try and get them to work. This is a learning experience:)
