Here's a little 15 second look into my classroom--This is what my kids see as they walk in the door (just a note, I changed the beehive jobs chart out after this video was taken)oooh, before I forget

I always feel bad when I don't have time to blog--but frankly, I just can't seem to stay awake!
After school it's homework with my kids, making dinner, a load of laundry and if I'm lucky--I get to vacuum! (well I guess that would not make me lucky but ---maybe the kids will do it?, Nah...)
Don't even get me started on early morning before school meetings!!! I am meeting'd out!
Here are a few pics of some of the things we've been up to.

| We learned about NOUNS. First we brainstormed on this chart together as a class. Later, we went on a Noun Walk around the school and on the playground. The students recorded the nouns they saw onto a Tree map, organized as Person, Place and Thing. |

| I have been using an alligator to teacher greater than or less than since I student taught back in 1997--yes, that's right 1997~ I made a little "Allie the Alligator" for each student. I told the class to put him in the center and draw a "pond" around him. The circle or pond, would be where Allie would stay. Most math workbooks, tests, etc, always have a circle for the symbols--so by calling it a "pond" it makes sense. I have a large Allie that I stick on the board. They use their dry erase boards and write the numbers as I write them on the board. They then had to turn Allie and trace his mouth to make the symbol. Easy==Effective and FREE!! |
Of course we've done loads in 13 days--I just haven't been able to take pictures--That is my goal tomorrow! Take more pictures!!!!
Have a great Friday!!!
