Here is my school supply list that I am hoping to use this year. Last year I ran out of kleenex and glue sticks so I'm asking for more this year. What are some things on your school supply list?</div>

I have to admit that birthdays were very simple in my classroom last year and I'd like to make this next year a little more exciting on their birthdays. So I've been seeing this idea on Pinterest a lot lately and I really like it. One post I saw stated that it was an idea from ProTeacher. Here is my version of the pixie stick birthday balloons!! I'm still waiting to add the large pixie sticks. They have been shipped though!! I ordered mine from Amazon. Click the picture below to order your own!!</div>

I am sooo proud of my giant ABC card. Every student gets a copy to keep in their drawer. Well, not a large one, but a student version to refer to when writing/reading. We go over the ABC card everyday together, but I wanted something to be able to point at when we recite our ABC card. So...I blew up the ABC card that we use and colored it to make it beautiful. I'll add a beautiful border and laminate and...fix my oops. Can you find the oops??</div>Meghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03561107416519224928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343877040888661191.post-27367778764626271232012-06-19T14:01:00.001-07:002012-06-19T14:01:22.956-07:00New Additions<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Check out this new addition to the classroom. I reclaimed the couch that was in our classroom, but brought in this chaise lounge. The best part is that the colors in the pillows match my bird decor and I didn't have to buy them....I already had it!! </div>

I am working on a couple of bulletin boards. The smaller of the two will be my birthday bulletin board, but I'm not quite done yet. I am making letters and month labels. I will upload them soon! I bought the fun candle at JoAnn Fabrics a while back. Now that I see the pictures I see that I have a few wrinkles to smooth out of the fabric. </div>

I got this file cabinet from a retiring teacher. She was actually my cooperating teacher when I was student teaching in second grade. The original color of the file cabinet was a 70's green. Wait....maybe this is a little 70's ish? haha, I wouldn't know, but I love the bright color. Just a little spray paint and it fits right in with my bird decor. : ) <div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

Okay, so try to ignore the mess on my desk and the solo flip flop (I always kick my shoes off when working. If I had it my way I would be bare foot 24 hours of the day and 7 days of the week.) I recently purchased some fun wall decalls from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/sixunderatree">sixunderatree on Etsy</a>. Aren't they sooo cute. I'm getting ready for my bird theme! My desk was pretty bare and I thought this would be a fun way to introduce some color!!! <br />

Check out the awesome tree wall decal too! I got this on my recent trip to Menards in Minot, ND. This is on the dividing wall in the coat room. It was just a bare blue space so I added some more detail. I couldn't put a bulletin board back there because the space is too narrow. I can just see the paper and hard work coming off the wall as the little kiddos struggle into their winter gear. This should stay put though. Love Love Love. </div>

I created another game similiar to this in which students had to find the sled behind sliding polar bears. This game is called "search for love." Students must find cupid behind hearts that have numbers words written on them. One student hides cupid while the other closes his/her eyes. They must record the words they read on their search for love!

I like to get them excited and share my plans with them! They were a little upset, until I told them we could make football players wear pink! Anyways, these next work stations should make their hearts happy. <br />
<br />
What Comes Next?<br />
The first station is a math station. You will need to make hearts with different numbers on them. I will make a few sets; some lower numbers and some higher numbers depending on student level. Students must write the number and color the heart to match and then count up to write the numbers that come after that number. Here is the <a href="https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B1QjpgbhLvyPMDVjOTJiM2UtYWQwMC00YWUwLWExOTMtNDUwNGMzYTVlZGIx&hl=en_US">recording sheet.</a>. <br />

Again, you will nee d to make hearts, but with patterns on the back. Focus on the patterns covered and new patterns to challenge your students. Students must say the pattern, copy the pattern and then extend the pattern on the <a href="https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B1QjpgbhLvyPMmE1Mjg3YzEtZjQ4Mi00NWVmLTkxMjktYWZjZjE3MmJlYTQ1&hl=en_US">recording sheet.</a>.Meghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03561107416519224928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343877040888661191.post-17977707976982105362012-01-22T18:03:00.000-08:002012-01-22T18:03:04.921-08:00More NumbersHere are some <a href="https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B1QjpgbhLvyPMWY1NDMwNjEtNTRlMi00ZmQ1LTg0MDMtNmY1YzRlYzNmMjdm&hl=en_US">number cards</a> for 11-20. You can use these for a variety of things, but I will make a copy for each set of partners in my class. Students will lay the cards out on the floor. One partner will close their eyes while the other partner removes a card. The student has to open their eyes and determine which number is missing. You can also have your students scramble the cards for their partner and then they must put them back in order.Meghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03561107416519224928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343877040888661191.post-34027863377263828182012-01-22T17:56:00.000-08:002012-01-22T17:56:24.197-08:00Searching for NumbersAlright, after struggling to come up with a fun and engaging activity to help students grasp the numbers 11-15 I think I may have come up with something to help. It is pretty simple, but my kids are the best little detectives and love to find things. So...I am going to hide the number for the day around the room. I made little cards in different fonts. No more obvious spots for them this time...tricky spots for my little detectives. Then they will have the recording sheet and will get to color in a number when they find it. To add to the fun I will let them use magnifying glasses, visors and clipboards to aid their search! The amount of numbers hidden around the room will be the same as the number, for example there will be eleven elevens and twelve twelves. <a href="https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B1QjpgbhLvyPMTExN2M4MTYtZmZjYy00NDYwLWJkZDQtODYxYmU4YjYyMjY2&hl=en_US">Click here</a> for the number cards and <a href="https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B1QjpgbhLvyPNzNkNDI5ZmEtNTc5My00MzI2LTk1MzAtYzAxNzdhMjE1ZDNk&hl=en_US">click here</a> for the recording sheet!!! <br />

In addition to searching for numbers we will also make large numbers and glue on items to the number. I will upload a photo when we finish. :]Meghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03561107416519224928noreply@blogger.com0
