For anyone who knows us or has been reading my blog for a while, you probably aren't surprised that Canada was chosen for our geography fair project and you probably know who's idea it was. Colin wants to live in Canada, where he imagines he'd be surrounded by hockey and find outdoor ice rinks on every corner. Since it was our first geography fair, I thought it would be best if they just did one country together. Colin immediately said Canada, but the girls weren't too thrilled with that idea. They named other countries, but never seemed set on one so I talked them into doing Canada. I figured Colin would do more of the work since he's older and should do something he's interested in. We used the Download N Go (DNG) study, Expedition Canada. From this we got to watch lots of videos showing different parts of Canada. We learned about a different animal each day, some places there, inventions, history, popular sports, Canadian cities, geography, and holidays. Some of the books we read Caleigh made this beaver, a national symbol of Canada, and this totem pole, which were made by the First Nations peoples. Lego Creations: Colin made the CN Tower and Caleigh made an inukshuk, both of which we learned about in the DNG study. In addition to DNG, we also used Homeschool Share's Canada lapbook and a Canada mini lapbook from Fortunately for You for our lapbook. I think this is the first time we've ever done an actual lapbook. We usually just add the mini books to our notebooks, but I wanted something they could display at the fair this time. We made maple cookies with real maple syrup. You can find the recipe we used here. Kids at the geography fair. Along the bottom of the table, we taped coloring pages for each of the provinces and territories.The kids spent a lot of time coloring them. Display board: It was Colin's idea to use black and red. Caleigh came up with using maple leaves under the letters in Canada. On the bottom right is a Mountie paper craft that Molly put together. Also on the board: map of Canada, map of North America, flag, popular sports, major industries, major crops, information about what the word Canada means, languages, holidays, animals, and Levi from Children Just Like Me. On the right, we brought along some of the inventions from Canada. On the left toward the front of the table is a French Canadian counting book. In this picture, you can see Colin's hockey helmet, a puck, the Lego CN Tower, and a French/English color words matching game. I'm so glad we did the geography fair. It was lots of fun showing our display and seeing everyone else's. The girls and I weren't too excited about doing Canada since it doesn't seem as exciting as some other countries, but we did learn a lot of new things and it ended up being a good study for us. In my previous post, I have some pictures of other projects at the fair and Molly getting a henna tatoo.

As Spring Break approaches, I find that my fifth graders are in need of some reminders as to what it means to be kind to each other. In general, they are sweet kids, but at times the words they use and actions they take, particularly on the playground, aren't the kindest. Our read aloud for the month is Wonder by RJ Palacio so the theme of kindness fit right into our room. It just so happens that a new book, We're All Wonders by RJ Palacio, a picture book intended for younger readers to access the story, came out this week as well. So the timing was perfect. (the two links above are my affiliate links and will take you to Amazon to buy the books.) I began by asking the students what kindness is. We brainstormed a list of ideas and created an anchor chart. Then I read the picture book to the students. Because we had just finished Wonder, they were so excited to read this new version. When we finished, I asked the kids to think of all the ways, in both the picture book and the novel, that people were not very kind to Auggie (the main character). The kids were able to fill our entire circle map in no time. It was easy to recall how people would scream in his face, recoiling at the way he looked. They remembered the names Auggie was called and the no-touching game that was played. The instantly told me about all the awful things that happened to him. I then asked the kids to brainstorm ways that, if they were in the novel with Auggie, they could be kinder to him. Again, they had no problem thinking of ways they could be kind to Auggie. Next, I asked the students to think about their own real life. I asked them to reflect upon how they personally treat others and how they personally could make better choices when speaking to others. Here is where things got a little challenging. You see, when students are talking about fictional characters, or reading news stories about OTHER kids they don't know being treated unfairly or unkindly, they know exactly what they would do if they were there. Because they aren't there. They know they never will be there. But when confronted with their own lives, and real possibilities for what they would have to do to step in or change situations, it is a bit harder for them. So I asked them to brainstorm 15 different ways they PERSONALLY could show kindness to our classmates. (I drew a lot of inspiration for this next part from Study All Knight's FREE Kindness unit, which you can grab here.) The students then used tempra paint and painted 15 (or so) rainbow sunshine rays. They also drew their own Wonder-Inspired portrait. (I have previously done this before, but had them focus on precepts and writing....if you would like to do that, click here. It is one of my fav lessons too!) The students then glued their Wonder portraits into the middle of the rays, used Sharpie to outline and write the 15 ways they could show real kindness in their lives (one way per ray) and were done. They came out amazing. (See the picture at the top of the post!) What is better though, is that the past two days, my students are actively trying to be kinder to each other. They are watching their words. I have seen people purposefully go up to those who tend to wander during group time and invite them into the group. I have seen students smile at others just a bit more. It truly has been a Wonder. Right now, for a limited time, Amazon has the book available for $3.99!!! Snag up to 4 copies at that price.

Today's Setup: The Small Group Area The Small Group Area may be one of the easiest places to get setup. In my room this consists of a kidney shaped tables and chairs. Told you it was easy! Okay, okay…I know what you are thinking! It really isn’t that simple—well it sort of is—but I know you didn’t come here just to read get a table and chairs! Honestly, yes the majority of my small group teaching is done at the kidney table. Last year, I didn’t get the kidney table until the end of the year and I am so thankful to start this year out with one. Most of last year, I used tables grouped in fours, but that took up so much room in my small space and I also didn’t like that I could be with all of my kids at once. I felt like I spent a lot of time standing in front of them teaching instead of being “right in there with them.” Hence the reason I love a kidney or U-shaped table. I can be within arms reach of all of my kids at one time and feel like I am right in the middle of their learning (and well literally I am!) Many times at the small group area, I am teaching some sort of scripted intervention, leading a guided reading group or leading a math intervention group and for these reasons there are certain tools I like to have very near to me. Here is a picture of the table. Please keep in mind I just got back in my room today, so what you are seeing is a work in progress. The table is only one area of small group learning in my small space. I also like to have another space used to small group instruction. This gives my kids an opportunity for movement, allows for natural transition from one part of a lesson to another, and helps with engagement. My second small group area centers around the pocket chart/stand. This is where our vocabulary instruction takes place. I haven't decided on whether or not to move this stand to another spot in the room yet. I would like to have it near some carpet for some comfy seating, but the room size doesn't really allow for that at this point. Speaking of where things go, here's a tip! I like to use PowerPoint to come up with a model of my room and the furniture in my room. I can manipulate and move the pieces around without actually lifting any furniture! So perfect! :) Key: Blue: Permanent/Cannot be Moved Gray: Desks or shelves that can be moved I hope you find something here that inspires you or you get a good idea! Tomorrow I will be back with more classroom setup idea!
