Earth DAY is NOT a holiday!
It’s McBLARNEY TIME!
When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.
This week we did some EXCELLENT WRITING!
Somewhere, I have a new Science series, but my new ELA series takes up most ALL of our day…& Math… so, as any good teacher ( who LOVES science & writing) would do INTEGRATE!
Living things…yaadaa. yaadaa. yaadaa…NO!
My EL’s had a hard time with the new vocabulary, (Thank You Project GLAD), we did new academic language, made charts, filled out graphic organizers, did shared writing, sloppy copies, and a final draft!
We had to edit for spelling, handwriting, complete sentences, punctuation, AND IT HAD TO MAKE SENSE!
All of that in 5 days!
AND THEN….. They got to make a “tear art” bear head.
( They HATE tear art… “Can I PLEASE use my scissors?” “NO!”)
Simple…tear construction paper, glue to small paper plate, add ears (with torn paper..they need FUR too), add eyes, nose, & mouth.
As a culminating activity, we painted out animals & added our reports for sharing. ( see above)
SO….here are the units we used to RUN the MARATHON!
Enjoy! Check it out on my TPT store!
I don’t know about you, but I have WAY TOO MANY things going on in December!
I want my classroom to run like a “well-oiled” machine…independently.
I need to ASSESS, read with kids, check those who need “help” are getting it, and TEACH!
( Makes me tired looking at this!)
Somedays they are UP…they know it ALL!
and the next day, they are down, down, down,
( can’t do ANY math!)
WHAT HAPPENED?
Daily math center practice with both addition and subtraction math facts.
Kids love to play games. I want them to practice math facts.
