Letter W

For the letter W the students colored, cut, and glued a whale onto the W.

Letter Z

For the letter Z I had a traced Z already on the paper. All the students had to do was color in a zebra, cut it out, and glue it on the Z.

Letter K

For the letter K, I precut 2 different kinds of keys. Each student colored and cut out their own K and glued it on the construction paper. They could glue their keys anywhere they wanted on top of the K. 

St. Patricks day

St. Patricks day centers:

Sight word rainbow- each student picked a word from the sight word pile and wrote that word in red in the top part of the rainbow. They did this for each color of the rainbow.

To continue with the rainbow theme, we made pots of gold with a paper chain made out of the rainbow colors.

To practice number recognition everyone got a blank 100 chart. I would call out numbers for each color. Hopefully at the end each student should have a rainbow and pot of gold.

We made a stick puppet of St. Patrick.

This is a worksheet to review word families. 

St. Party's day craft. Could use the orange part for the hair for the girls or as a beard for the boys.

 

For another teen number recognition center I made shamrocks with teen numbers in them. The had to use paint dotters to along with the color code to color them. At the bottom of e paper they had to write how many shamrocks of each color there were.

This center was an all about me rainbow. Each student had to color the rainbow according to the instructions. The order is favorite color, hair color, eye color, shirt color, bedroom color, favorite toy color. Each rainbow came out very uniquely.

For out St. Patricks day snack each student was asked to bring in a green snack. Some snacks were green rice Krispy treats, mint m&ms, grapes, mint Oreos, etc...

The leprechauns came to our room when we weren't there! They left green footprints on the walls and knocked over our toys! At the end of the day they left us a pot of gold :)

Subtraction math center

To review subtraction I created this math center. Each group got 12 subtraction problems that they had to solve using bingo paint dotters. 

SPLAT sight word game

My kids love to play SPLAT! It's a sight word review game. In the container I put sight words on separate index cards and fold them up. I also add 2 Splat cards. Each student takes turns picking a card. If they can read the word they keep the card, if not, they put the card back. If you draw a splat card, the person who drew the card has to put all of their cards back. Keep going until time is up. The person with the most cards wins.

100th day of school

100th day of school! We asked each student to create something that had 100 items on it. This student created a shirt with 100 jewels on it. Other examples were hats with 100 eyes on them, necklaces with 100 pieces of cereal or pasta on them, shirts with 100 stars on them.

 Throughout the day we did various activities for 100 seconds, for example jumping jacks, hops on 1 foot, sit in silence, flap their wings...

We also made a 100th snack mix. Each student brought in 100 pieces of a certain snack (gold fish, Cheerios, marshmallows, skittles...) and we mixed them all up.

We discussed what kind of food could we eat 100 of. Some said cereal, fish sticks, meatballs...

 

Also today our puzzle we have been putting together since the first day of school was completed!
