Sharing Sunday's

I love themes- plain and simple. In teaching, in life and so on. I have been doing a 365 challenge for two years now- it's where I take a photo everyday. Sometimes I can't find anything to photograph, so I made a weekly list for taking photos so I can find something :)


I also decided to do that for my blog, especially on the weekends. So for either Saturday or Sunday, I am going to share a new site or something new I found.

I found a new site yesterday after one of my followers posted a comment. First off, I love that people leave comments and two, that they have blogs!


Here is my first find:

Hangin' with Mrs. Cooper

Comical Kindergartners

Science

I am planning for my science units next year.

I found these awesome materials through Zully:

Ant Farm

Now I must figure out what to teach and where to get the ants. 

 Constellations- we did space this year, but not the stars, so I will be on the lookout for 

star materials this summer.

Ladybug playground- 

So what great ideas do you have? Where should I get my insects from? Does anyone have any experience using these things?

Science

I too am thinking about next year.  At my school I plan that topics for our after school program. So what I am asking is what are some awesome science units you do in your classes?  I work with students k-5. but not all at the same time. They are split k-1, 2-3,  and 4-5. I try not to do the same thing two years in a row. Somethings, though like reptiles, we do though- we.. well not we, not me either lol, I have a friend bring in real live reptiles (ICK lol)
