Class Books

I love having my students make class books.  This week they made a compound word book for Harriet Tubman Wanted: Dead or Alive by Ann McGovern.  This is one of my favorite books to read with my class.  They are fascinated with the subject and they never want to stop reading after just one chapter.  They will also be making a chapter summary book for this book.

Here's a little peek at their book.  It'll be in my store soon. 

They each selected a compound word and wrote a sentence about the story using the word. Isn't that sunrise amazing?

Mother's Day Gift Idea

My parents loved the coasters that we made for our silent auction, so I thought it'd be the perfect gift for Mother's Day.  There's just something about using Sharpies and tiles.  They could draw all day with them.  Can you tell that it's ball season?

Bird's Nest

Someone made use of our old grill.  There is one little blue egg in the nest.

Right Angle Art

A few weeks ago I found a fun activity on Pinterest. My students love to draw and color this year and I knew that a few of my students would benefit from something a little more artsy while studying angles.




Last year, I also had a very creative and artistic group and they loved using this activity for measurement during stations.  Click on the picture to see the Monster Measuring in my store.  Students select task cards and draw a monster at the correct height.  It's a bit more art than math, but they enjoyed it and would try to complete as many as they could so they received a lot of practice.
