Five for Friday - 3/25/16

My favorite link up of the week with DoodleBugs Five For Friday 

I'm looking forward to celebrating Easter and spending time with my family this weekend. 

We've been making our own superhero characters and then writing a fictional narrative about saving the world or town from a villain. This was a lot of fun and students loved it. I had students type their writing on google docs. They also water color painted their town. I took a photo of each student laying down and acting like they were flying. I then added that photo to the town they painted and added a piece of crepe paper as a cape. 

If you have a library card have access to the OverDrive app on your kindle and get free books downloaded to your kindle by checking them out of this library. They even have audiobooks.  

We had our Mini Relay to support Relay for Life today at school. My students dressed as super heroes by making masks from paper plates and capes from purple trash bags. We had such great fun!

Anyone else watching March Madness? My husband loves March Madness and had me fill out a bracket. I randomly picked Gonzaga and somehow they are still in it for now.

Five For Friday! 4/3

Five For Friday 4/3

First off, let's all take a look at what I looked like when I left school this afternoon....

Now we can see what my week before Spring Break looked like....

EGG HUNT
We had an Addition Subtraction Egg Hunt!
My FREEBIE of math problems for the egg hunt is above, just click on the cover of the product.

My students made "Easter Egg Baskets" from K-Cup boxes that I saved up over time. We cut the top off of the boxes and let them paint the box. We then poked holes in the side and attached some ribbon for a handle. We also added their names to the boxes that I printed out on colored paper with Mod Podge.

These are small baskets, but should be perfect for our class egg hunt.

We water color painted flowers and wrote sight words on them to create a "Sight Word Garden" for the hallway.

We have been discussing synonyms and we want to start using more interesting words while writing so this is just the beginning of our Wall Thesaurus.
I love that one student came up with "itty bitty" for little and he was adamant that it should go on the thesaurus because his grandmother says it all the time instead of saying little.

For April Fools Day, Koo Koo Kangaroo added a new video on GoNoodle called Just Kidding. The kids loved this new video and laughed the whole time. 

We ended the week with a Field Trip to the PAC (Performance Arts Center) to see one of the high schools in our county perform The Wizard of Oz. It was really great and the perfect way to end the week before Spring Break!

I hope you enjoyed our randomness from the week!

New Milestone!

Woohoo! I just reached a new Milestone of having 200 TPT Followers! I realize this is nothing to some of you out there with thousands of followers, but ya gotta start somewhere!

In celebration, I just added a new FREEBIE to my store.
An Addition Subtraction Egg Hunt!

I use this type of Egg Hunt every year, but I just now made the equations all cute for you (and me of course).
We often have our Egg Hunt in the classroom and I have all the boys go in the hallway while the girls hide the eggs and then once they have found a set amount (10 each) I then have my girls go in the hallway and the boys hide the eggs. They almost like hiding the eggs more than finding them and they giggle the whole time! I love giggles in kindergarten!

I hope you enjoy these cards that you can cut apart and place in plastic Easter eggs to hide. My Dollar Tree had packs of 18 eggs for $1. You could also ask parents to send some in.
