WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL AND A FREEBIE

I just completed my first week of school!  Whew!  It was a "frog"tastic week of fun, but exhausting too.  Here are a few things we did this week:

We made AB pattern name tags to use during the first few weeks of school.  This was also a quick assessment of who can make an AB pattern and who can count to 10.

Our story of the week was The Little School Bus by Carol Roth.

We did a lot of activities around this book.

The students painted a bus using step by step directions.

We made ourselves on the bus.

 Here's the close-up of the kiddos!  They did a great job!

We did a lot of shared reading this week.  We buttered the "popcorn" words that kept popping up!

The students made a traffic light.  We discussed the positional words - top, middle, bottom.

The students practiced writing letters with the game - SPIN A LETTER

 Look at my kiddos working hard!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friday was our 5th day of school.  The students discovered that 

5 pennies = a nickel.  The money is weighted!  I ordered the money from Learning Resources.

We ended the week cooking a tasty traffic light.  Yummy!!!

Now if you read to the end of this post - here's your freebie.  It's a school bus mini-unit.  Some items are used with the story, The Little School Bus by Carol Roth but most of the items can be used independent of the story.  Enjoy!
