Spring is Finally Here!

We began our study of plants last week.  We began by studying the different parts of the plant.  This week we will continue with what plants need to live and the functions of the the parts of the plant.

Earth, Moon, and Stars

Last week we learned about our Earth, the Moon, Sun, and stars!  We used the awesome packet from Kindergarten Boom Boom's tpt store!

Word Surgery Part 2 and the Cat!

Today we performed Word Surgery Part 2 with compound words.  This was from the same packet from First Grade Wow!

This compound activity was from at Nicole Rios's TPT Store!

We have been celebrating Dr. Seuss this month, as we all have!  This fun cat and writing activity is from Janet Rainey's TPT Store.

Have a great day!

Word Surgery

This week we were learning about contractions!  So, thanks to donations from parents, we were able to "dress the part," as we became word surgeons!  Each child reconstructed their words and mended them back together with band aids! 

We used the awesome packet from First Grade Wow!

Next week, we will perform more word surgery with compound words!

St. Patrick's Day Fun

Last week, we participated in a few St. Patrick's Day activities.

A parent made these fun treats to share with the class!  Thank you!

On Friday, we made Leprechaun Shakes!  

We then wrote "how-to" papers explaining how we made them!  Our leprechaun art projects that we made were sent home last week.

A Little Catching Up!

Here are a few projects from our first week back from school after Christmas vacation:



These New Year Buddies are currently hanging in our classroom. Student wrote about their New Year's Resolution! The writing paper can be found in Cara Carroll's Happy New Year freebie packet at her tpt store.  The ideas of the buddies that go with it was from Learning in First.

How to build a snowman writing and art projects!  I have seen this many time on Pinterest and can be found at Apex Elementary Art.

We learned about the oi sound and made pig snouts to remind us of the "oink" sound that they make!  This idea was from Pinterest.

Last, but not least, we have a little snowman that the girls created at recess!

Let Freedom Ring!

For Martin Luther King, Jr. Day we read and discussed the many accomplishments of Dr. King, Jr. We then, used our facts to create a bubble map and then write about what we learned!

We used these sheets from the  free packets at Latoya Reed's TPT store from Flying into First Grade and Erin from Eberhart's Explorer's tpt store.

 

 

Later, we made these bells. Let freedom ring!  This idea was from Pinterest.
