Potato chips may have been around since the 1820s, but it is thanks to a chef named George Speck that they became popular in America. George worked in a famous restaurant, and he got his name 'Crum' because one of the wealthy diners in his restaurant could not remember George's last name.

Here's a peek into our February Activities and Units! Be sure to look through for freebies! My kids LOVE learning about Ruby Bridges, because she was their age when her story unfolded.

Here are some activities we do while learning about Ruby Bridges! First we read about Ruby Bridges with this non-fiction teacher read-aloud and an emergent reader for the kids.

If you've been following my story for long, then you know my daughter is kinda sorta a major miracle baby! She was born with a condition called HLHS, which is essentially half a heart. She has since had 3 open heart surgeries, 3 cardiac arrests, 10 long months in the ICU, two runs on complete life support through ECMO, and a heart transplant.

This will be a fun experiment for students to see the effects of a cavity. Grabbed this idea from Fun Fabulous First. Just poke a hole in the apple to signify a cavity and give it some time to start decomposing. Re-assess the apple at the end of the week and discuss what happened over time with the cavity. I whipped up a quick little sheet for students to use to record their observations. Grab it below! Love this idea from The Moffatt Girls! Great hands on practice at flossing! We learn about what helps teeth stay healthy and what causes harm, then complete this sort and the kids search through magazines and grocery ads to cut/paste onto their own templates. We read several dental health books, and then the kids get their own mini reader! We learn this poem then create the writing craftivity. It's perfect for a hallway display! The tooth fairy sends out an ad looking for assistants and the kids apply for the job, then complete a math task that she leaves! They search the room for teeth pics numbered 1-50 and put them in order on ten frames! Ending Digraph Sort CVC Write and Wipe. For added fun, throw some dollar tree toothbrushes in to erase the dry erase marker writing from the teeth! Use marshmallows or white dry beans for a subtraction manipulative! Kids race to fill their mouth with marshmallow teeth in this comparing numbers game! They each draw a number, compare the values, and the person with the higher value gets to put one of their teeth on the mouth template! Then they get to eat their marshmallows at the end. SO FUN! You can grab all these activities by clicking the picture below! That wraps things up for our February. We also spend a couple of days for Presidents Day. So much to do in February... tough to fit it all in! Hope you all have a great month!

Ready to teach a Black History Month art project in February that’ll keep elementary art kids engaged? This Romare Bearden collage art lesson will boost student confidence and creativity. Kids will appreciate his energetic jazz collages from the Harlem Renaissance. Moreover, they’ll connect with his personal story about experiencing discrimination and The Great Migration in the 1920’s. And, it’ll help time-starved teachers like you create lesson plans based on modern Black artists like Romare Bearden. During this collage project, your class will learn how Romare Bearden incorporated jazz music and trains into his artwork. Use it to discuss symbols in art and mixed media. Students will create a jazz collage with musical instruments using the step-by-step guide and PowerPoint. Plan lessons for students about Black art history and art appreciation in a way that excites them. Finally feel confident in your art curriculum and be organized and prepared to teach art! WHAT'S INCLUDED Can I be honest with you? Art history can sometimes be boring for kids. There, I said it. Teaching about artists and cultures doesn’t have to be a snoozer, though! I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt this Romare Bearden project. All will engage kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes: Roll a dice game to add randomness to your student’s artwork “You Pick” idea worksheet for kids to choose their own elements Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick elements and you can integrate technology in the art room Printable dice template in case you have no dice Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process Drawing practice worksheet, for kids who want to sketch out their ideas Romare Bearden Artist biography about the life and work of this abstract sculptor, so you don’t need to research “Big Ideas” reflection worksheet where students write about their art process Self-assessment worksheet so kids can think about how they performed during the project Art grading rubric which assesses expectations, craftsmanship, work habits, creativity, and clean-up 8 “I CAN” Statements aligned to the Studio Habits of Mind to use during instruction or post on your bulletin board 4 Art exit tickets with quick, thought-provoking prompts Art history coloring pages to keep kids inspired by Romare Bearden’s collages outside of the art room YOU WILL RECEIVE 1 Non-Editable Printable PDF (Romare Bearden Art Project) 1 Non-Editable PowerPoint 5 Digital Spinner Videos (downloadable, and links to them on Google Slides and YouTube) Paperless Google Drive Digital Resource WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I taught this lesson in 5 classrooms from grades 3 to 6. Not only did they learn about mixed media art but specifically about the artist, Romare Bearden-a bit about his life and the struggle within his life as an African American. This lesson brought up good discussions about him and African Americans. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This lesson was well-received by all three middle school classes to whom it was presented. One student even took her drawing home to paint and finish over the weekend - a sure sign of motivation and engagement. I expect to use this lesson again next year. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Normally I would have done some kind of similar in class project with my kids - 5th grade music - after we've been studying jazz and tie this in with Romare Bearden. I was able to use this for the kids as a jumping off point to create collages with the things that they had at home.

We've had a fun week in Kindergarten learning all about Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks and I have a few freebies for you as well! I started off by reading my favorite book on Martin Luther King Jr. and using the graphic organizer above to help students organize their thoughts. I highly recommend reading this book when introducing this unit. It is filled with a ton of great information, and it really brings Dr. King's story down to a level children can understand. Here are some of my other favorite books on Martin Luther King Jr: We also did a circle map and wrote words that describe Martin Luther King. Then we did a cute craftivity from my Black History Month Craft Pack. We also made one for Rosa Parks {love the cute hat} Here's a funny story for you....one of my student's was helping another student complete their project when he suddenly yelled "Mrs. M, we need Rosa's bra!"....I quickly turned and said "wwaaaaaaattt", then he looked at me so innocently and said, "her bra, the white things" as he pointed to the doyle's. HAHAHAHA!! I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Kids really say the darnest things! We also worked on our bus craft and our peace wreath, which you can find in my Black History Month Craft Pack here. & finally a "We're all in this Together" Peace Wreath Here are some other freebies I wanted to share with y'all. Hope you can use them in your classroom!

Here are two true statements: 1. Black history is important. 2. Black history isn’t in my curriculum. Typically February, here in Virginia, is when we get the most snow. I am normally so flustered and behind in pacing that I’m cutting out and rearranging lessons just to try to fit things in. There was just
Hello Everyone! It's Leslie from First Grade Frenzy! As Black History month comes to an end this week, I always like to focus on one of my favorite Black History Heroes ... Harriet Tubman. I found her story to be such a fascinating one. Her bravery and strength allowed her to escape slavery, and help so many more people to freedom, as well! I usually introduce her story through one of my favorite picture book biographies. I love this book from Scholastic.. it's from their "My First Biography" series. The text is simple and illustrations are bright and beautiful. I also like to use these two picture books, too! I then create a timeline of some of the important events that happened in her life, with my students. It's a great way to see how much they were able to absorb from her biography ... fantastic for retelling and comprehension. Then, we create a class story about her life. We use simple sentences, and each student illustrates one of the pages in the class story. The final product is always a masterpiece.... I couldn't help myself ... I had to share their beautiful illustrations!! They worked so hard!! You can grab your copy of the Harriet Tubman Class Story here:
