Wild Weather Research Reports!

I've created another mini research project to do with my class.  This one covers storms and wild weather!

  I will be using Scholastic's Science Vocabulary Readers (Wild Weather Pack by Alyse Sweeney), but it can be used with other books or internet sources as well!

This project is aligned to both first and second grade Common Core Standards.  Click HERE to check it out at my TpT store!  :)

Monster Measuring

My latest little project was inspired by the fact that my measurement lesson for this week is going to land on Halloween!  So, I created a set of monster cards to hide around the room for the students to measure.  I tried to keep if from being too Halloween-y, that way it could be incorporated any time of the year.  Monsters are always fun, right!?  I'm excited to try it out!  I like any activity that gets the kids up an moving for a change.  :)  Click on the images below to check it out at my TpT store!

All of the clip art, frames, and backgrounds were found at http://www.mycutegraphics.com/!  Be sure to check it out!  All of the clip art is adorable and FREE!  :)

Just a quick share today! -  Click on the images below to download the cover sheets I created to help organize my Common Core binder. 

 

I have the standards color coded and printed on colored paper according to the color of the border for each subject.

Happy Saturday!  :)

Objectives and Brain Breaks

My school is one of many that will be required to post our daily objectives in our classrooms next year. I've FINALLY finished mine!  I purchased Erin Morrison's Common Core posters (FANTASTIC resource!) and used Angie's idea from Timeouts and Tootsie Rolls to organize all of them! Another project checked off my summer "to-do" list!  :)

I've seen some great ideas on Pinterest for "Brain Break" sticks.  This is such a fun way to help refocus the class and to give them their much needed breaks! Miss Sullard at Keep Calm and Teach On has a {free} download for a list of activities you can include.

Here's the label I created - Click to download!
