Blast Off!

Space!  A blast to teach and always a winner with students!!!   I am so excited about this 85 page unit.  It is filled with hands on learning.  Planets, the moon, constellations, astronauts ... it's in here!   And of course ... I included a couple of writing/craft activities and reports you can display in the hall and look like the most awesome teacher of the year!   I'm thinking about having a space day this year.    I love special days like this to break up the monotonous days and it gets the kids so excited to come to school.  Check it out!  Enjoy!

These guys are waiting for adoption!  Summer Reading Buddies! 

 

Did you know that studies show that students' reading scores improve when they read to a stuffed animal?   Students' reading scores  will drop by the end of summer if they don't practice.

 

Send this fun reading incentive home with your students this summer or use it during your school year. 

 

We are adopting our reading buddies tomorrow.  The student who read the most this school year gets to choose first.  I snagged these adorable pets at the Dollar Tree.  This can also double as a cute end of the year gift too. 

 

 

 

We attach a reading "feeding" log to the collar - so we don't lose it - and they're ready to go!

The students return the completed logs to me at the end of the summer for a prize.

End of the Year Gift Labels for Bubbles!

So, when it comes to end of the year gifts, I usually head to Walmart or Dollar Tree and walk around until I'm inspired by something cute and cheap.  This year it was bubble wands.  They were under $4 for six of them. 

 

Add these free labels and you are all set!

Zoo Fieldtrip Book!

End of the year is here!  Are you going on a fieldtrip?  We always take our first graders to the zoo.

 

This is a great way to turn your fun fieldtrip into an educational experience for your students!

This is such a simple book to assemble.  Simply run pages 3 through 17 back to back on your copy machine and let the  machine staple them for you.  Cut the books down the middle and you are ready to go!

On pages 5-12 the students select 8 animals that they observed to illustrate, name its class, and to write what they learned about it.

On pages 13- 16 the students illustrate and tell which animals were their favorite, least favorite, funniest scariest, most beautiful, most crazy, biggest and the smallest.

Enjoy and have a great trip to the zoo!

We are almost there people!  Spring is here - sunshine, warm air, and crazy kids!  I love that Easter is in April this year.  Our class is having an egg hunt  and we'll be making these cute little bunny baskets to hold all our goodies we find.  I created these my first year of teaching and I love them.  They have cotton ball tails on the back and are seriously cute!  Enjoy.  Another freebie from Carolyn's Classroom.
