Sharks and Ocean Animals

Summer is quickly approaching and the heat is getting intense.  I am in a school without air conditioning and it can get incredibly hot in our rooms.  However, with fans in place (that work perfectly to blow the hot air around), we try our best to think cool thoughts. 

This year my kids are obsessed with sharks, so they work as a perfect motivator to keep cool and productive at the end of the year. Somehow I can pretend that reading and writing about the ocean, and the things in it, will keep us cool... as long as I don't pretend to actually be in the ocean with the sharks!!

End of the Year Bump - Freebie

We're getting closer... I can almost feel the sand in my toes.  Only 14 more days to go, not that I am counting.  

As a way for my students to review their addition skills, I have created these End of the Year Bump games. Chick on any picture to download them for free!! 

Caterpillars and Butterflies

Look what came this week!  Watching these little caterpillars grow and change into butterflies is one of my favorite first grade activities. The children are amazed at their growth and show so much enjoyment when the butterflies finally emerge from each chrysalis.  

Here are a few of the activities we 

have been working on.

These are just a few of the activities that can be found in my butterfly packet. Click on any picture below to check it out.  

     

 

I'll post some more pictures once our caterpillars get a little bigger!
