Our family received an Amaryllis kit from Grandma for Christmas. Today, the kids and I planted the bulb and got ready for a little measuring...
So my bloggy friends... apparently on Friday someone decided to take my well mannered, extremely wonderful class of 25 third graders and replaced them with some loud, unruly, rude children. I'm thoroughly convinced there is NO possible way those kids that were in room 127 on Friday are my kiddos. I'm horrified at what 8:50 a.m. will bring my way. I pray to the school Gods that they bring back my normal children for the next 4 days. Heck, I don't even care if they get crazy on Thursday, be my guest. I'll trade an INSANE Thursday for a normal, calm Monday-Wednesday. Please. I'm begging you! On another note, I'm so jealous of everyone already on break, but with that said, I'm ubber excited to not be on break until Friday. I feel like when we used to have the week before Christmas off, you spent all of your break getting ready for the holidays, then only had a few days to recoup. I will get off Friday and not return until January 9. I'm a million times excited about it! So here's a few things we've been busy creating. I've been doing all projects with my wonderful neighbor/teammate (so no, I don't have 60 kids in my class LOL) Mrs. Jumps Snowglobes (via 3rd graders) {we modified/enlarged them a bit to fit more writing} They did a fabulous job!! Here's the dictionary project!! They did AWESOME!! :) I'm not really sure where "He's like a little ruler and a little king" came from... {idioms central} {truthfully I'm embarrassed to put these on here - but these are both things I couldn't find much help with, so I thought maybe my ugly little charts can help someone out there in bloggy land - yes I'm a perfectionist who can't stand anything handwritten} So that brings me this... My kiddos are going to be making their handprint ornaments for their parents tomorrow. I know, I know they do it every year, but I think it's cute to see how your kids hands have grown over the years. I am also making the parents an ornament for them to have. So here is what I made... it's hard to get the full picture because I blurred out the kids faces, but you get the point! {24 clear ornaments - Hobby Lobby} [plus I have a child that doesn't celebrate Christmas so I'm making his Mom a frame!] {boys got green background paper, plus green/black ribbon} {girls got red background paper, plus red/white ribbon} After trying to make some last night in the dark, I gave up and left a mess on the floor. I returned to them this morning when there was a lot of light and quickly finished all of them. I was getting very frustrated last night though!! I also got each kid a copy of Sideways Stories from Wayside School because they were $1 each from Scholastic. Can't beat that!! On a side note, we have a radio station here in Chicago with a morning show called "Eric and Kathy" I absolutely LOVE them. I get very upset if they're not on in the morning. So I'm a "fan" of them on Facebook. They randomly post things on there, like questions about holidays and things. I always look, but hardly ever respond. Well I took an afternoon nap, yes I adore napping! When I woke up {usually I'm grumpy as it is when I wake up from anything} I see a post that says something along the lines of "Has everyone's children brought home their homemade ornaments yet?" I thought cute! Let's see what kids are bringing home. The responses I saw ENRAGED me!! People were complaining about their typical "foam" picture frames, and "all 3 of my kids brought home the same ornament, they did every year!" People then proceeded to say teacher's lack creativity and some said, "well I guess they won't put much thought into the gift, I won't put much thought into their gift either." So I went into a rage-ful post back to those people about how I spend thousands of dollars on my classroom, plus $30 on books, plus probably another $30 or more on the ornament supplies for them, and me to make. I also said I have to pay for presents for my own family and I don't make a ton, so I do what I can. I mentioned that it takes an hour or 2 to make ornaments for 30 kids. Needless to say I was NOT happy! I couldn't believe how ungrateful they were being. So the point of this is that even though I don't have kids, I appreciate everyone who takes the time to make things with their kids, even if it is a "thoughtless cheap foam frame" {ugh, angry posting this now!}. Please don't let anyone make you feel as under appreciated as I felt when I read that post!! Anyway peeps :) I hope you are enjoying your vacation or last week before the holidays! I wish you the best of luck with your kiddos behaving! If anyone wants directions on the ornaments let me know and I'll make a post, it took me a few tries to really figure out what I should do in order to get them to work! Night lovelies! ;-)

A quick review... DNA provides instructions for the assembly of amino acids into protein. Therefore... Similar proteins have a similar amino acid sequence. And if the amino acid sequence is similar, the DNA is similar. Scientists believe that similar DNA sequences indicate a common origin. Hemoglobin (a protein in red blood cells) is one protein that has been studied in humans, gorillas, and horses. Procedure: Each group will be given 10 different colors of beads (each one representing a different amino acid - see list below). Students use the beads to create the partial amino acid sequence for human, gorilla and horse hemoglobin (see below). For assembly purposes, I give the students an index card with three pipe cleaners attached. It keeps it all in one place, and it makes it easy for the students to compare the sequences at the end. After students have completed the amino acid sequences, I use my keys to quickly check their work. They then count and record the differences in the amino acid sequence. From there, you can discuss... --what determines the order of amino acids? --where do we get our DNA from? --where did our parents get their DNA from? --random chnages in DNA occur over time, the mroe time passes, the more changes there will be. At the end of the activity, students remove thier beads and return them to their appropriate bag. The Amino Acid Sequences: Human: gly lys val asp val asp glu val gly gly glu lys leu his val asp pro glu asp phe arg leu Gorilla: gly lys val asp val asp glu val gly gly glu lys leu his val asp pro glu asp phe leu leu Horse: asp lys val asp glu glu glu val gly gly glu lys leu his val asp pro glu asp phe arg leu ****** This activity comes from a wonderfully creative and talented teacher who presented it in a workshop at the New Jersey Science Teachers Association Convention. Unfortunately, I don't have her name written down. If you know her, or are her, please contact me and I will give her all the credit in the world for this great activity!
