Did you wear your green? I don't take any chances at school and make sure I'm wearing my green. I don't need any students trying to pinch me. This is the first year I've ever had to work St. Patrick's Day (it was always over my spring break when I lived in the Midwest!), so I'm not used to working on this day. I had a meeting and a sub in the morning and then the afternoon FLEW by, so here's a short and sweet update. Pretty simple St. Patty's Day for me... I did nothing- you heard right- nothing to celebrate this holiday even though it is one of my favorites. I had no special plans. No treats. No big celebration or game or party or anything. I was a total party pooper. And we all survived just fine. It was a boycott of sorts since I actually had to show up to work. I was feeling just the tiniest bit guilty about that (and you know, a bit Irish as well!), so for math we made some equivalent fraction rainbows to keep things festive. It was a spur of the moment idea. Do you ever have those? Those completely unplanned moments when you throw all caution and lesson plans to the wind and just go with whatever crazy idea you just came up with? Luckily it worked really well. We've been working through our fractions unit and so I thought it would be fun to rainbow our equivalent fractions in the hopes that it would help a few stragglers catch up with us and be able to see it in a little different format. Whatever rule (and color!) we used to change the numerator, we had to use for the denominator. After we were finished, we made observations and searched for patterns. I think/hope it helped a few of my students to wrap their mind around this somewhat complex idea for fourth graders! So there you have it. An accidental-math-rainbow lesson. Whoops! Follow RTL On

So way back in September we studied all about our five senses and I made a little recording sheet for an anchor chart activity I saw on pinterest from Spotlight on Kindergarten. I made a similar anchor chart and then gave my students some popcorn and we brainstormed ideas while we ate. {any excuse for food in the classroom is ok with me!} Here is our chart we came up with...... Then, I had my students fill out the sheet below choosing one word for each of the five senses from our chart. It's a freebie for you so click on any of the pics to download the recording sheet, as well as colorful graphics for an anchor chart or whatever else you might need. My students then picked one word to write on the popcorn shapes and then we displayed them out in the hallway. This bulletin board was thrown up in a hurry...don't judge. ;) Happy Monday!

Hmmm... I'm almost so late to the Five for Friday linky that I should perhaps just wait until the next one! But since I have a spare moment or two I wanted to share some of the fun we've had in the past week or so. :) 1. We've been learning all about 2D shapes in Maths! We counted and graphed with this Piggy Shape Graph (a freebie from Kinderglynn!). Then we cooked up a storm by making Shape Pizzas. I know, I know... the base should not be white. But we flat ran out of time to paint them a more pizza-y looking colour! 2. Here's a super quick round-up of the Literacy activities that have been keeping us busy: Our focus book was 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar', so we worked on some fine motor skills by hole punching a leaf to make it looked like it was nibbled... ...by our paper chain caterpillars! This guy needs his antennas put on! :) We played ABC Ninja - works on letter recognition in the same style as the Fruit Ninja game. Lots of fun! We searched for pictures in shredded paper to sort into the pocket chart. This week the pictures revised short vowel sounds. Shredded paper is a free and fun sensory element! We continued to use Spring into Phoneme Segmentation to practise sorting words by the number of sounds they have. This activity is super cute sorted into little flowerpots, but I like to have it laid out like this so that while they are waiting for their turn kidlets can be looking over the pictures and thinking about why they were sorted the way they have been. Another free and fun activity - sight word painting! All you need is a paint brush, some water and a patch of concrete. :) I just love this photo. One of my kidlets independently reading a big book that we had previously used as a shared text. He was so pleased with himself when he got to the end! Nothing like success to motivate readers. 3. Our painting last week had a few extra sensory surprises! Sand in the finger paint... ...and scented colours to paint ice-creams! We added vanilla, peppermint and coconut essences to the paint. Our phonics focus was long i, so we let them free paint an ice-cream and enjoy the yummy smell. Although, one kidlet thought that the paint smelled more like an ice-cream that had been left out in the sun than a tasty treat! How rude. :) 4. Snakes alive! One of my treasures found this snakeskin in her backyard and brought it in for Show & Tell. It was about 2m long so was not too big. The kidlets loved it, me not so much! 5. Holidays on the horizon: Two more weeks and I will be in Canada with my lovebird! Have a great week everyone! I promise not to be so late with my next Five for Friday. :) Lauren
