St. Patty's Day Green!

Hey sweet friends!  I have been missing my routine of blogging but will get back into it after the wedding I'm sure.  

My little ones and I have been doing a lot of writing this year due to the writing changes and the work we need to be doing by the end of the year.  So I got my little ones excited about writing for the best holiday ever.. St. Patty's Day!!    

They loved making this with the craft because we got to create some ideas together.

This is what it looked like on my desk  for a few days before I actually hung it up.  Talk about being a mess. LOL

My little ones loved the streamer.  They were fun to play with too.  They made their own color patterns. Not sure how my sweet student got a green streamer. hehe

Don't you love the glitter clothespins that hold up the hats?  I made those!!  Yes little old not creative meeee!!  If you want a quick tutorial on how to make these easy peaty clothespins, click here to take you to that post

In case you were wondering what they wrote about…. here it is.  This precious girl is smart and would keep her gold safe.  I wonder if she would share with me? LOL  Gosh I hope so. 

Here it is on the bulletin board.  I love the way it came out.  

My kids are all green'd out right about now.  What's next?  OH YES… I hope Spring is right around the corner!!

What are you doing this St. Patty's Day?

Bopping for Butterflies - Butterfly Unit

Hey all!  I've been working on this bundle for a bit now and happy to say it's complete.  I have a few more things to get done for the Spring time but am so happy with this unit especially with a sweet surprise coming this week! SHHHHH more to come on that. =)
  It's similar to my frog unit but just with butterflies and a few different printables!

I know my little ones love learning and growing our own butterflies in the classroom.  Why not create a bundle to add to the process?  Here it is!

Bopping for Butterflies!

I am obsessing over the craft and all the different cute colors you can use.

This is me playing around with the colors and prompts.

UGHHH, please forgive me for the pics.  My phone has been so off with pics lately, it's beyond frustrating.  I think it's time to upgrade to a real camera, don't ya think?!?!?!

Moving on….

The printables are very kid friendly and fun for them to learn about.

I think the students will enjoy putting the life cycle in order.  My little ones love cutting and gluing. Me on the other hang, I can't handle the sticks hands and desks!  Yikes!!

My students have been working on transition words lately.  I think this will be an awesome packet to work on that and also give me their ideas on how to catch this cute little guy.

I can't forget the usual fun printables my little ones always love completing.

Write This, Draw That! Writing through the Spring

AHH  so many snow days we've had already this year is making me lazy!  But this past snow day I was excited to final finish my Write This, Draw That!  I have been getting a few sweet e-mails from you guys asking me when I will be done.  So here it is!  Finally complete.  ::relieved::

This is a bundle that I started creating back in September.  My little ones absolutely love using it during centers and it definitely has helped them with their writing.  I have seen such improvement and so happy to see them grow!  

Here are some snippets on what's inside.

I have tons of writing start topics.  I like to do this because some kiddies in my class need to be given an idea to start with and they can go from there.  Other students just need a topic and from there they can figure out what to write.  Everyone is different and I like to include differentiated instruction.  

Here are some topic cards.

I also like to incorpate fun and themed printables to match the month in which they are writing.  It's a fun way to encourage my little ones to write.  They know that once their done writing, they can color in the pictures or draw a picture of their own to describe their work! 

   

What do you think?  Do you think your little one will love it?

This bundle includes:

*each month has 30 writing starter cards (each)

*24 topic cards (each)

*7 writing prompts (each) primary & secondary lines

*directions on how to put together using pictures and book rings

Some topics and ideas are:

Going Green and More Direct Drawings!

Today my little one's heard a cute story titled"  Miss Fox's Class Goes Green

( You can grab this adorable book by clicking HERE! The link will take you straight to Amazon to get your own copy!)

My kids loved this book!  They didn't know what it meant to "Go Green" before and now they definitely do.  

The story is about different ways the little ones can go green wether it's shorter showers, turning lights off and making sure the t.v's not on when no one is watching it!  

Such a cute way to learn more about keeping our Earth squeaky clean.

I also read another Earth book.  I had them do some more direct drawings; which by the way they love!!

Take a look at how they turned out!

These were my absolute favorites!!

How do you go green?

I asked my kids this question and one of them said " I hate wearing green" 

LoL

Happy Thursday!!
