| After reading Jamberry by Bruce Degan, the students and their guests tasted 3 types of jams. |
 |
| Here's a student with her mom graphing their favorite jam. |
 |
| A parent and child working together to measure a furry friend. |
 |
| The students recorded their furry friend's measurements. |
 |
| Working on patterns using teddy grahams and fish crackers. |
 |
| It's always fun using food for manipulatives! |
 |
| Playing Brown Bear Spin and Graph. |
 |
| Figuring out fair shares for the bears. |
 |
| The students recorded the the bears' shares by figuring out if the number was even or odd. |
 |
| Each student made this adorable bear hat for our BEAR-Y FUN DAY on Friday. It's made with circles! |
 |
| We sorted and tallied gummi bears. |
 |
| We graphed gummi bears. |
 |
| We practiced counting tallies with the Teddy Tally game. |
 |
| We made a symmetrical pattern necklace using cereal. |
 |
| We sponge painted Corduroy. Each child wrote about where Corduroy found his button. |
 |
| We sequenced the animals from the Brown Bear story. |
 |
| We read, Time to Sleep, a book about hibernating animals. Then we sorted animals. |
 |
| Each student picked a hibernating animal to draw and write about. |
 |
| We stamped the ending sounds! |
 |
| We are experimenting with gummi bears! |
 |
| In the Writing Center the students could draw a teddy bear and write about their teddy. |
 |
| The students went on a word hunt! |
 |
| We tasted and graphed if we liked honey. |
 |
| We made bear biscuits and ate the biscuits with honey. |
 |
| We compared fiction and non-fiction bears. |
 |
| We will add this poem to our P.I.G. (Poetry Is Great!) Books. |
 |
| I created a student version of the Brown Bear book. We used the Sounds Chart from Heidi Songs to find sounds in words to help us read the book. This has been a great resource for reading and writing in our classroom! |
 |
| We marble painted leaves. |
 | |
| The leaves were added to our tree. Too cute! |
 |
| Leaves Pocket Chart used for talking about fall colors, leaf shapes, and rhyming words. |
 |
| The students cut leaf shapes to make a leaf mobile. |
 |
| We labeled a leaf! |
 |
| This is our Celery Experiment to observe how veins work in plants. |
 |
| We recorded our BEFORE results and will record our AFTER results on Monday. |
 |
| After reading about squirrels, the students read phrases (with a little help) to create this circle map. |
 |
| A cute idea that goes along with the book, Nuts to You! by Lois Elhert is making a class book. |
 |
| The students make tree bark rubbings for the book page. Then I take a picture of each student getting ready to eat a nut. This picture goes in the hole of the tree. Finally each student writes the sentence, Nuts to their name! Adorable! |
 |
| Here's another pocket chart. We are working on recognizing color words. |
 |
| Graphing Fall Colors - The students grab a handful of red, yellow, orange, and brown unifix cubes then graph and record their results. |
 |
| Five Frame Leaf Counting - The students practiced counting on from five and recorded their results. |
 |
| Roll, Read and Color - The students used a die to roll a number, then found the number word on a leaf and colored it using a fall color. |
 |
| Chicka Chicka phoneme substitution activity. |
 |
| The students discovered how many claps are in their name. |
 |
| The students sorted letters, words, and sentences. |
 |
| The students painted a Chicka, Chicka tree using pictorial directions. Then the students counted the letters in their first and last names. Finally the students added an AABB border pattern. |
 |
| We made Chicka, Chicka Name Trees. The Chicka tree pattern is from Making Learning Fun. |
 |
| The students colored the vowels and consonants in their name. |
 |
| This is the Chicka, Chicka Tree we made! Delicious! This idea came from Making Learning Fun! |
