Dollar Tuesday's

Still on the search for elusive Seuss items... but I did get some Seuss pencils, Multiplication/Division bingo, finger pointers erasers, grow capsules {animals and space}, 3-D shapes, and a polka dot bag- a girl needs something to carry everything in!

Contest

Check out First Grade is Awesome for a contest that is going on :)

Oil Spill

So that is what happens when there is an oil spill and they use soap... Doesn't really help just spreads it out. :(

The lady in the video is from a local college and when she says, "Are you ready?'  She is talking to me because I missed it the first time!  Opps!

 They have derived  a new way to clean up messes though which I found amazing! That uses ground up carpet pad {I think} I can't get the video to load :(

We watched and talked about water: hot and cold to be exact!

Word Work

Towards the end of the year the first graders got to watercolor their word wall words.

Here was another word work for word families:

We have a word family per week based on our reading series :)

Snap it Up

The first graders played the game Snap it Up! during word work D5 time.  There are two types of cards in there, the yellow (on the back) which were the consonants and the green cards were the vowels.

This is a commercial game but one you could make yourself just as easy. Something I just realized is that their vowels are blue and consonants are red- this is backwards for me lol

If I made this game, I would make it out of cardstock scrapbook paper so it would be cuter on the backside.

Dollar Tree Tuesday's

So while I was searching at Target's Dollar Spot, I came across these critters:

I plan to use them for grater than or less than activities when I shine numbers on the board.

I honestly don't know what their purpose is- I think hot pad replacements maybe?
