5 Senses & Other New Stuff!

Hi Everyone!

 

This week I am teaching about the 5 senses during my science time. Yesterday I made & posted this unit...

 

Today I started with sight and we learned this song

 

We labeled our eyes like this...

 

 

 

We even had time to read this...

 

We had so much fun with all the sight activities! We also did a little writing piece, but I forgot to take the picture...Oops!

 

All of the activities are included in my 5 Senses Unit. Just click the picture to grab it for yourself!

 

Here are some other new things that I created this weekend:

 

Ok, so the picture is a little small, but this is an apple themed math unit. It has 6 easy & ready to go centers that you can use speedy quick! If you download the preview, there is a FREEBIE for you! :)

 

I love to teach about weather! Here is last year's post about my  weather unit...I always make a booklet with them, but the pages were a little hokey so I made this:

 

 

Every year I teach a different type of weather for each day of the week & we make a little craft to go along with it. Then I take them all and compile a booklet for each student. These ALWAYS turn out waaaaayyyy cute & the kids have soooo much fun making & learning about each weather type! You can grab yours by clicking the picture!

 

Yesterday I gave away the 5 Senses Unit to Tamara from Life's A Beach in First Grade for correctly guessing my birthday (September 16th)! Yay for Tamara!!

 

***Today I will giveaway my 2 new units for the first person to guess how old I will be next Sunday!! ***

Go ahead...give it your best shot!!
Good Luck, friends!!!

 

Ok...that's it for now!

Will we ever not be exhausted after school?!?

 



The Bad Blogger is Back! :)

Long time, no blogging! :(

I am so sorry to be absent from my little blog. I hope that you didn't think that I have abandoned it! Better yet, I hope that you haven't abandoned me!!

I did manage to make a cute little 5 senses mini-unit since Scrappin' Doodles made the cute graphic set. Not to mention, I am teaching the 5 senses next week & those graphics came out just in the knick of time!! Don't you just love it when that happens?!?

Yippie!

This unit has an easy reader, writing pages, a song to introduce each of the senses, and a booklet that the students make as they are learning the senses! The booklet has labeling and cut & paste activities. It is perfect for kindergarten!

I am so excited to use this unit with my kinders this week! I PROMISE that I will post pics & updates this week! Here is a freebie from the unit just for YOU!

Just click the pic & download the preview to get it for your very own!

But, wait!!! There's more...the first person who can guess when my birthday is will get the unit for FREE!!! Here's a hint...I am a September girl!

Good Luck!!



Hi!

Hi friends!

I promise that I haven't abandoned my little blog & left you all to fend for yourselves! I've just been in a little blogging rut :(

I haven't had much to blog about...so I've been M.I.A.

Hopefully, I will get beck in gear this weekend. ;)

I hope that everyone has a great Labor Day!!

 



Powerpoint Question...

I am getting so frustrated with my Powerpoint! I have the 2010 version & it will NOT install any of my fonts...argh! When I click install I keep getting an error message that says invalid font type. What?!?

Does anyone have the trick to fix this? I have searched for the answer online only to come up empty...*sigh*.

I do not need to know how to install, I just need to know why the fonts won't install & how to get them on there?! Is anyone else having this problem? Please tell me I am not the only one :(.

Super Bummed! :(

Off and running....

Here are a few pics of my newbies in action...
Disclaimer: We have been in school for a month! This is not something that I would do in my first week or 2 back :)! I didn't want you all to think I am crazy...ha!!

This is a write the room activity. They find the pictures in the room & write the words on their paper.

 This is a math mat activity from our math program. These little beauties hit a ton of the CCSS objectives!

This is a letter stamping (ABC) work station. I got the activity sheets from Mrs. Miners Monkey Business . They have been awesome!

This is one of my guided reading groups. We made & read our fun little fold books (you can kinda see it on the top right), then we practiced writing our new magic words. They love those white boards!! This little guy has pretty good penmanship for only being in school for 4 weeks!! 

This is the foldie that they worked on in my group. Inside the text was I _____ pencils, books, scissors...They had to write "see" on the lines and then go back & reread the book. They must've read the thing 10 times because they were so excited that they could actually read it! So cute!

This one is a little I Spy center where they look at the bus pic with the magnifying glass to find the hidden letters. Then, they record the letters in the boxes on the sheet. I got the bus picture from here. They are from A Differentiated Kindergarten but the freebie link is in the post by Mrs. Miner. The kids love using those magnifying glasses!

Ok, that's all I have for ya! My class is so cute this year & they all seem to be pretty excited about learning...Yay!! I hope that everyone has a smooth start to their year!!
