Lucky Charm Data!

In math we are working on collecting, organizing, and reading data in lots of different ways! For St. Patrick's day we discovered the leprechaun left us some of his treasure! We gathered from our T-R-A-P-S and decided to graph it!

This was an easy way to practice some of our math vocabulary words like most and least! We also loved counting up all of the leprechaun marshmallows!

St. Patrick's Day

I hope everyone was lucky enough to have a visit from the leprechaun on St. Patrick's day this year!


We knew the leprechaun came because he left a HUGE mess, left gold coins, chocolate, footprints, peed in our toilet, and messed with all of our T-R-A-P-S. (We never said the word TRAP because we knew the sneaky leprechaun would be listening!)

They LOVED building, sharing, and setting up these T-R-A-P-S for the sneaky leprechaun that kept messing up our classroom!

Mama's Birthday Present

This week we are reading Mama's Birthday Present. Here is some word work that I am using in guided reading this week that helps practice the -ai and -ay vowel sounds! 


ai and ay

Thanks to the help of my newest blogger, I learned how to use Scribd! Thanks Julie!


Anyways... here is a little St. Patrick's day fun with practicing synonyms. Just print, laminate, cut, and match the synonyms.

PDF Posting Help!

Hi Everyone,


I have made a few cute word work activities to share but I am having trouble attaching them here. When I converted them into Googledocs, they were not in original format. So, I have them in a PDF file, but I don't know how to attached or share them on my blog!


Anyone have any suggestions how to share a PDF file??


THANKS!

I'm a Caterpillar

We read I'm a Caterpillar last week from the Scott Foresman 2011 Edition. Here are some of the activities we did!

This is the butterfly life cycle. The students did so well with this!

To practice contractions, we used 2 caterpillars as our base words and a butterfly as our contraction! This was a simple way to assess the students working with contractions!
