FIREFIGHTER FUN

I'm back!!!  I'll be posting some units we have been learning about these past few weeks in the next couple of days.  

I'll start with
FIREFIGHTER FUN!
I know fire safety week is over but maybe you can use these ideas for next year.

Here are a few pictures of some fun activities!
We practiced our popcorn words with this great game from Making Learning Fun.

We did a fire experiment and learned the 3 things needed to make a fire.

The students created firefighters!

The Block Center was turned into a Fire Station complete with flames and a fire truck!

We practiced reading and writing number words 1 - 10 with Spotty Numbers.

We made a Firefighter Circle Map!
You can find more firefighter fun activities in my unit below.

Bear-y Fun and More!

We learned about BEARS!

Look at our BEAR-Y FUN activities!

Working on our color words in a bear-y fun way.

Practicing even and odd numbers 1 - 10.

Bear-y tasty patterns made from food that represents what bears eat.


Brown Bear Build It, Read It, and Write It activity.

After reading this book, the students will taste 3 different types of jam and graph the results.
We listened for ending sounds using the characters from the book, Brown Bear.

We made these cute bears using small, medium, and large circles.  We cut the medium circle in half to make ears.

For cooking, we made bear biscuits.  Yummy!

We read lots of fiction and non-fiction books about bears then we compared bears using a Venn diagram.

We are practicing our tallying!
Most of these activities can be found here:

FANTASTIC FALL Y'ALL!

This week was all about FALL FUN!
The students marble painted using fall colors.  When the paint dried they cut out their leaves.  You can see our fall tree in the next picture.

We read several non-fiction books about squirrels.  The students picked and read the card to decide if the card should be glued inside or outside of the circle map.  We also learned about deciduous trees and evergreens. The students loved to say the word DECIDUOUS - so much fun using BIG words!

We conducted an experiment to see how veins work in plants.  The students recorded their results!

More fall leaves!

This isn't a fall activity, but I had to take a picture of my froggy friends working hard to build and read this week's popcorn words.  "FROG"TASTIC!!!

I LOVE, LOVE LOVE pocket charts and so does the class.  It makes reading FUN!
