Let’s welcome a new year with these exciting reads.
This week was our bear/hibernation theme. Lots of fun! If you have not read this book, you must! It is HILARIOUS! (Especially the ending... loved it! haha) Here are some of the nonfiction books we read this week to help us fill in our bear chart. We looked at these four types of bears: brown, black, polar, and panda. Here is the chart we created: When we talked about what bears ate, we did this fun little taste test/graphing activity that came from Rachelle over at What the Teacher Wants! Check out her bear unit here... super cute! I wish I had more time to do all of the activities. We tasted strawberry jam, tuna fish, and honey on crackers. We graphed our favourite bear food. Also included in Rachelle's unit, students coloured in their own graph and then answered questions about it. During our reading/writing time, we read the book "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". We compared it to the book "Growl!" and did a little T-chart about real vs. fantasy. The next day we read "The Three Snow Bears" and compared it with Goldilocks in a Venn Diagram. You can download the student version by clicking the picture below. We have been working on addition and just started talking about "Tens Partners". We created this rainbow anchor chart to help us remember them! In Rachelle's bear unit, she has this cute activity called "Bears in a Cave". One partner closes their eyes, the other partner uses bear counters (I used Teddy Graham crackers) and puts some in each circle. They write the total in the square at the end and then covers up one of the circles with a "cave" (paper cup or bowl). The other partner guesses how many bears are in the cave. You can use any number of bears. I had mine use all ten bears, so the sum always stayed 10. This was great practice for the "Tens Partners". When we started talking about hibernation, we read a book called "All About Hibernation". Then we created a large poster called "Where do animals go in the winter?". I got this idea from the very creative Amy over at Fun 4 Kids. See all of her winter animal ideas here! My students coloured the large background poster. Then they coloured the animals, cut them out with the labels, and glued them into the correct winter home. Then we added some cotton balls for snow! Super cute! If you would like a copy of the poster, click the pictures below. I print the background on white 11 x 17" paper. The animals/labels are on half of an 8.5 x 11". Amy also had a poem on her blog called "Winter Animals". It has some cute actions to go with it. We practiced the poem all week, then today we glued it into our poetry journals and illustrated it. Click above to download the poem. And last, but not least, we read the Bill Martin Jr. / Eric Carle books, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear", "Polar Bear, Polar Bear", and "Panda Bear, Panda Bear". Kids love the fun rhythm of these books. If you haven't checked out Mrs. Kacey @ Doodle Bugs Teaching, go there now! She has some amazing "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" centres and activities for FREE. Check here and here. I created an art lesson to go with these books. There is a simple pattern to use and you can create any of the four bears: brown, black, polar, or panda. Students use plastic combs (or a piece of cardboard) to create different paint techniques. Click on the picture below to download the full directions and patterns for free from TpT. These are the samples I created. I let the students choose any colour background. Here are my students working hard on their artwork. It was actually a pretty easy project to get all together. We did the painting one day and the assembly the next day. Here is the finally picture of them all together. (Our class is called 1T by the way, so the bulletin board makes sense....) They did such a good job! Although I don't know why a few of my bunnies thought that a blue marker was a good choice to use to draw the whole face.... hehe Have a great weekend, everybody!

I love The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats. I use it every year with my students to teach cause and effect. If you do not have the book, you can find the read aloud online here. This year, we made this anchor chart and filled it in as the story went along. We listened to the story the first time all the way through and then paused it to discuss the cause and effects the second time through. Afterwards, my students matched each cause to the correct effect. For the younger babies, I suggest color coding these. I copied the causes on blue paper, and the effects on white. Next, we added Peter to the top of our causes and effects. These are always a favorite of mine every year. ....and the best part is...this activity is FREE in my store! You can download it here!
Hey! It’s Hayley here (@hayleyremdeart on Instagram), and today I want to give you as many ideas as possible for all those journals you’ve been hoarding. Don’t try to deny it, I can almost see those empty journals on your shelf over there and they need some love! I actually once read somewhere that buying journaling supplies and actually using them are two completely different hobbies, and I have to say I definitely agree. No matter how many notebooks I already have, when I see a pretty journal I can’t resist, and then I just never get around to using them! Lately I decided I wanted to start filling some of them up, so keep reading to find out all the ideas I’ve come up with. Essentials For ALL These Ideas: Archer and Olive Journal – As always, it will be no surprise to you that this is my pick. The lovely and thick pages have no bleeding or ghosting, so you get a clean start for every project spread! Also, it means you can decorate the spread without worrying about it. Pencil – To carefully plan out your ideas so you can make sure your spread has everything you need. Fineliners – My favourites are the Unipin fineliners as they’re waterproof, affordable and have a strong nib. Decorative Touch (optional) - This could be anything from washi to acrylographs, or of course, nothing! I usually like to add a personal touch to my spreads so they’re more fun to use and look at! Remember, you can now even use my affiliate code HAYLEY10 to save money at archerandolive.com!!

I especially love people documenting the funny things their kids say!! 19 – Lists, List and Lists We all need to make a good list – so why not have a journal dedicated to them? 20 – Movie and TV Shows Track your consumption and rate them as you go! 21 – Finance Journal Sometimes you need to write it out to see where you can save! 22 – Practice Journal A journal that is meant to be messy so you can trial spreads going in other journals or practice a new skill! 23 – Dream Journal Do you forget your dreams – make a journal to write them down so you can remember them! 24 – Knitting Journal Keep track of patterns and projects. 25 – Small Business Journal Keep track of finances, orders, product ideas and more! 26 – Social Media Journal Do you work within social media?
