Snowmen at Night

We had a blast reading Snowmen at Night and then acting it out with our snowmen masks.

Turkeys in Disguise!

We loved sharing our turkeys in disguise! They were all so creative!!

Lots of turkeys!

We made some pretty awesome hats with our big 5th grade buddies!

We did an experiment while learning about our sense of seeing. With a partner, one person covered their partners eyes while the other tried to draw a picture of themselves. Then they drew a picture of themselves while being able to look at what they were drawing. What a difference!!

Five Senses Centers

We are doing some Five Senses centers. One center group made Texture Hands with items on the fingers that are bumpy, smooth, rough, soft and hard. The other group made a Five Senses game that they can play at home as well! Next centers will be working on a Smell test as well as a Taste test! Stay tuned for pictures on them!

Rainbow Day!

What a fun way to celebrate learning our colors! We had some very colorful friends :) We did a fun activity with Fruit Loops! We glued the colorful and yummy snack to the first letter of our name and then got to eat some!

Daily 5

We are in full swing with Daily 5, our Literacy rotations that allow kids to be in small groups while teachers can meet with individual students at their level. The 5 stations are 1) Read to Self, 2) Read to Others, 3) Work on Writing, 4) Word Work, and 5) Listen to Reading. What's great about the system is that is evolves with the students as they evolve academically. It allows them to be a little more independent while we can meet with small groups for a more focused lesson or reading group. Here are some great pictures of them during our Daily 5 time! They love it!
