-Shaving Cream Fun-

 

 Instead of completing worksheet after worksheet, our classroom does some fun activities to learn their spelling words and vocabulary words. :) These are some photos I captured while the students worked on their spelling words. 

Day 9: Snow Angels

Day 9: Trixie didn't think it was fair that it was snowing outside but not in the classroom so she decided to add a little white salt to our classroom. She made a snow angel to show the kids she can have fun too!

Day 8: Fishin'

Day 8: Trixie had no luck fishing in the classroom sink...I think next time she should look for real gold fish. ;)

Bad Case of Stripes

Another activity we completed towards the beginning of the year to teach the students about cause and effect went along with the story "The Bad Case of Stripes".  We read the book first then discussed all the different ways the author displayed cause and effect. The students then wrote their summarized version of the story including examples of cause and effect.

Elmer and Wilbur

We created our own page for the Elmer and Wilbur story. I first read Elmer and Wilbur to the students to introduce them to the creative backgrounds found in the book. I told the students to look for unusual plants and trees, the use of color, and size of the objects. After we read the story, the students used oil pastels to create a pattern for Elmer and Wilbur. Then they used water colors to create a fun background for Elmer and Wilbur to be placed in. 

Amelia Bedelia: Cause and Effect

Two weeks ago in our reading textbook we were talking about cause and effect. We read a few books about Amelia Bedelia to show how she was always told to do something but misunderstood what was being told to her. These books had amazing examples to help students learn about cause and effect. At the end of the week, we put on a play for the kindergarten class along with the other second grade class. Each student had their own piece to participate in the play. We ended up having to have two groups being their wasn't enough parts for just one play. The students enjoyed acting their characters out and performing in front of others.
Here are a few pictures I took while they were performing:
