Math Word Problems

Saturday, May 2, 2015 No comments

Hello everyone!
I have some great things to share today! One of the things that I have for you today is math journals! I was so tired of my kids not being able to understand a word problem, that I ended up creating math journals for my kids. The math journals are awesome because I can monitor them doing their math journals and word problems.

I did create these for most grades. I am in the process of adding more for the grades so check back often for updates to see if there is a math journal for your grade.

1st Grade-

*Update 9/17*Includes September, October, and November

2nd Grade-

3rd Grade-

Update: July 17

Update: September 16 *sorry for the delay! Baby W came! <3

Dr. Seuss Week Part 2

Sunday, March 8, 2015 No comments

Hello everyone,

What a week!! Dr. Seuss week is over and we had a blast. I know I posted about the balloons last week, but our week continued and we were having such a great time!

On Monday, we watched "Oh the places you'll go" and it was read by John Lithgow. We created our balloons! ( See previous post) They came out so cute. Surprisingly, I didn't take any pictures of them...

Tuesday, we started the book "Green Eggs and Ham" and we created our own persuasion story if you should eat Green Eggs and Ham. They came out super cute and while we were writing our stories, we also ate "Green Eggs and Ham".

What did I use? I used Waffle Pretzels, vanilla frosting, and green m&m's. My husband was such a great help, and these are actually a picture of his because mine came out looking awful!

On Wednesday, we read the book "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish". We actually created our own "aquarium." We made our own fish and then we wrote rhyming sentences on the fish. Of course, since my kids are in first grade...they totally did not want to color it red and blue so they colored it whatever they wanted!

On Thursday, we read the book Sneetches, and we ALL wore yellow shirts. My entire team wore yellow, and so did almost ALL of the kids. We put green stars on our bellies and became Star Bellied Sneeches. I luckily remembered to grab a snapshot with me and little baby Eyre.

On Friday, me and a co-worker wore matching shirts that said "Thing 1" and "Thing 2". Of course, with my big belly, it looked like the baby was Thing 2! haha

We all made blue hair!! We used bulletin paper and then cut the ends so it looked like it was hair.

Here is another one of us wearing our blue hair. In the back, you can see the aquarium. We have little fishes and we have our cute blue hair. Notice that everyone in my classroom is wearing a red shirt! It's because they were all things.

Here we are wearing our blue hair and our thing shirts! A huge thanks to this amazing girl! She helped make my dream of being "things" come to life!! She made the shirts because she knew I couldn't be trusted with it! haha

Thanks Jen! I love you to the moon and back!

I hope your Dr. Seuss week was just as successful as ours was! I can't wait to hear your comments of what you did for Dr. Seuss week!

100th Day

Saturday, February 28, 2015 No comments

What a relief to be over the 100th day!

It was super fun- but I went home and PASSED OUT!!! It exhausted me like crazy. I wanted to share with you some of the really cute things that we did as a class.

In this picture, we made these really cute 100 count hats. We put a sentence strip around their head and then we used 10 pieces of construction paper. We then did 10 different designs on the hat itself.

Here are the things that we put on the ten strips:

10 animal stickers

10 math facts

10 sight words

10 thumb prints

10 books we read

10 hearts of love

10 things we learned this year

10 I'm a star sticker

10 of their first name

10 of any of their own design

We then created a 100 snack bag. It was really fun and good. We had a ton of food (and leftovers) that we ate some the following week. We made a little bag and then we watched a hundred day video while eating our yummy snack.

Here is what was in our snack bags:

-raisins

-marshmallows

-chocolate chunks

white cheddar popcorn

-cheerios

-fruit loops

-m&m's

-Teddy Grahams

-Vanilla Wafers

-Pretzels

Of course....there was ten of each snack in each grab bag.

Things I forgot to photograph that we did as well:

We made a big banner that had 100 compliments,

100 math facts,

and 100 words that we know.

By the end of it...

We were like this. We were exhausted and we all relaxed.

I hope your 100th day goes super smooth and you enjoy it. Leave some comments on what you did during your 100th day of school.

Dr. Seuss Week

Thursday, February 26, 2015 2 comments

It's almost Dr. Seuss Day!

I am super excited, especially being in primary. I am able to have so much fun with my little babies. Each day next week, we will be participating in some events daily. One of the events that I created today and I wanted to share IMMEDIATELY was this adorable goal setting balloon. As you know, Oh, the places you'll go! is about going off to great places even if you are scared. I created a balloon file that you can use to set goals with your kids.

One of my besties colored her balloon, and already set her goals!

I love how they came out and you can get them for yourself on Teachers Pay Teachers. The first person to respond to this, will get this document for free!!!!
