Patterns

We have been working on patterns this week in math.  

We read I See Patterns and sang The Pattern Song.   

We are creating a Pattern Anchor Chart.

I provided lots of manipulatives to make patterns.   

  

They made patterns!

Book Parts

I know it's been a while!  Been bust teaching and living life.
We do Writer's workshop with the kiddos.  I have been trying to get across exactly what they need to add to their books!  I decided to have them add pieces to a book.

                                                            We started with a blank book.

We did the cover first. we discussed what our cover needed.  First we added a title.

Then we decided we needed a picture.  

Last thing for the cover was an author!  

Our cover was completed, now we moved on the inside.  We decided each page needed a picture and words and the words and picture needed to match. 

I hope the idea sinks in.  I have noticed more "words" in their books this week!  Only time will tell!  I plan to revisit this idea later stressing that stories have a beginning, middle and end.

3M Loves Teachers

So excited about this site!  Not only does it have great info to share about Science activities, I won an Kindle Fire HD from them.  How you ask?  It was easy, I told people about the great site and then logged my activity.  Everyone who logs activity is entered into a drawing for that month!  I have received my Kindle and have downloaded some apps to use with my students!  Check it out you might be the next winner!

With the push for more Science and Inquiry lessons, I've searching for ideas.  I came across this website.  It has lot of activities for teachers and parents.  There are lessons, hands on activities and video clips. The lessons are listed by grade level and can easily be adapted for your needs. I can't wait to try  the Fun with Adhesives!   Be sure to check it out, I'm sure you'll find several things you can use!
