Spin a Word

I saw a pin on Pinterest, so I have been busy making them to share.

Included is the spinner and recording sheet.

Directions: Using a paper clip and pencil or brad in the middle, 

the child will spin and then write down the letter that they got on the recording sheet.

Rain Guages

I am not sure if you can see them at first glance, but there a bunch of rain gauges 

in the grass.  We taped a copy of four unifix cubes and a tongue depressor on the outside.

When we went to check on them, they were a little frozen! (ick!!!)

The child says to another, "Look at my leaf.  It is swimming in a hot tub!"

 Here was the blackline that we recorded how much rain had fallen the last few days.

One unifix cube- wow!  I didn't know it rained that much!

Nutrition and Food Pyramid

A while back I got these materials- one would think maybe I should use them!!!

I got this pyramid at www.ColoringCastle.com

We found A-Z fruits with the 3-5.

We brainstormed them together in K-2:

Next time I teach this, I will use a grape drawing and add other fruits!

When we talked about dairy. I drew a cow and the fifth graders helped me by coloring it!

(how did I not take a photo of this????)

Good thing the students ROCKED!!!!!!

(So here is a little funny- I said to draw a 'fat' cow, so 

that there would be enough room to write all of 

our ideas. So at the end, the student and I did have a little giggle

when I realized what she wrote!

On our last day, I drew a rocket ship graphic- well that is what it looked like to us!

I started with drawing most of a kite, but not meeting at the bottom.

It was too difficult to make it a 3D thing.

Here is K's:

We did it all together.

Here is the first graders (We did it all together)

Here is what we did together with the second graders. 

I am even getting better drawing by here! Yes I did 3 of them!

I drew the rocket ship for the 2nd graders, but 3-5th drew their own.

We also talked about that they needed 60 minutes of exercise each day-

they needed to decide what they were going to do for 60 minutes.

We sang this song:

 First line you insert the child's name and the other lines, the child picks a veggie and everyone sings it.

Light

Our essential question was What color is white?

 We made glasses and put in special lenses. 

Here is what it looked like looking through the glasses.

The scientist told us we could never look at the sun.

However, we could look at Christmas lights :)
