SOME NEW YEAR FUN!

Here are a few pictures of some of our New Year activities:
Blow painting fireworks.
The students glued the numbers of the new year on their fireworks picture.
Counting by 5's.

Here's the recording sheet.  Sorry about the photo :(
Each child contributed a resolution to our circle map.

Look at my class busy writing their new year resolution(s)!

An up close of a student's resolutions.
The girls!

The boys!
This student is working on the spell a word game.

Here's the recording sheet.

I asked this student to choose a word from the front and write a sentence on the back of her paper.  She wrote an asking sentence!


We were trying to freeze water.  It was cold enough, but the water didn't freeze.  One child said it was because the bowl was too close to the building.  We will try again!

A student tried the experiment at home and it worked!  Hooray!!!

WELCOME NEW YEAR UNIT!

I have been enjoying my holidays, but it is time to get back to work.  I just finished this little unit for the short week.  My little froggy friends return to school on Tuesday!  Here are a few fun things we will be working on.



Here's the finished New Year craft and writing activity.




The students find the cards with the matching pictures and spell a word.

This is the recording sheet for the Spell a Word activity.




These cards can be used for the New Year Countdown activity and New Year Count by 5's.


The students pick a balloon to measure using various non-standard units of measurement and a ruler, too.





This is the spinner card used for Spin, Count, & Color.  The student spins a number word and a color word.  Then the student counts and colors that many hats.  Game continues until all the hats are colored.
