Word family review

I did this as a quick review of our word families. I made three columns and gave each student a different word. They came up to the board and wrote their word in the correct column. 

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day I had my students fill out this paper about their mom.

After reading the book Love You Forever, we made a mommy and baby flower picture. I used an Ellison  machine to cut flowers out of the dried up wipes I saved from the butterfly paintings. 

 

I traced each students' hands and they made this fold up card for their mothers.

Letter O

I found online an owl for the letter O. 

It turns out like this...

Easter

Easter time! Here are a few things we did during Lent to prepare for Easter.

Here are a couple of chicks we made. I had all of the pieces cut already. The students got to decorate the egg however they wanted. 

For this cross egg, I used painters tape to make a cross cut out stay in the middle of the egg while  the students used bingo dotters to cover the whole egg. 

Here we made a banner with Jesus' name. We also learned how to remember how to spell His name by using the bingo tune. 

 There is a man who we all love and Jesus is His nameo. J-E-S-U-S!

To hold all of our goodies we got at our egg hunt, we made bunny baskets from milk/juice cartons. To save time, I ask the parents to wash and dry the inside of the carton and cut out the ears. I do this project with the help of 8th grade. The students cover the carton with cotton balls, add face features, and add Easter grass inside the carton.

 

April showers bring...

From all of this rain we've been getting, in our writing center the students had to finish the sentence, "April showers bring ..."

I got some pretty silly answers from my kids. 

Dr. Seuss week

                          Dr. Seuss Week!

We first learned a little bit about Dr. Seuss.

We created Thing 1 and 2 and created a Cat in the Hat hat with the -at word family on it.

For snack we had green eggs and ham! (It may look gross but it tasted delicious!) I put the scrambled eggs and ham in the crock pot an hour before I went to work and left it on low temp when I got to work until snack time. 

After reading the Foot Book, I had the students pair up and Trace each other's feet on a piece of paper and they were to create their own kind of silly feet.

Our community

This week we have been talking about our community  and street signs.

The picture above shows our made up neighborhood. Each group drew a picture of their own house and I put them altogether and as a group they named their street.

First we made a traffic light.

Then I lined up on the board pictures of various street signs. I gave each student a paper with five different shapes of street signs. They filled in the shapes with whatever kind of street sign they wanted to copy.
