Hello! I know, I've been gone for a while. Sorry about that. You know I have been reorganizing my room. I was at school every day last week until 6 or 7 at night. I finally have my room about 95% done. However, by the time I got home, ate dinner, and graded some papers, I was just too tired to post. So, the plan was to post over this weekend. I took lots of pictures of my room and am excited to show you. That would have worked if I hadn't left my camera in my classroom on Friday! Oh well. I promise to post it all during the week since I will be back to normal hours. I also have pictures for some other posts I wanted to do this week. I was just going to post without the pictures, but it would take too much explanation. Besides, I know when I read blogs, I like pictures. In the meantime, I was thinking about how we lead such test-driven lives these days as teachers. In teaching 5th grade, I feel like I often have so much to cover that the fun stuff gets lost. We don't have time to make something, we have curriculum to learn!! But, don't we all know that some of the best learning happens in the activities and projects that are fun? So, I decided to search the web for some learning fun. Below are some art projects and just some fun stuff I've found around the web that look like something your friends and mine will enjoy. The title of each project is the link to the activity and the source for the pictures I used. Take a look. Maybe you will see something you like! Literacy Expository Writing: How To How cute is this? There is a teacher in my building that does this every year. When you see the bubble gum faces all together on a bulletin board, you can't help but smile. This idea has been around for a while. You can find it all over the web, too. That must prove it's a good one! What I like is that the writing part can be simple for younger friends, as in the picture above with just a "first, next, last" prompt. Or, for older friends, they can write the entire expository essay. The link will take you to The Teacher Wife blog. She shows the entire project in more detail. Expository Writing: DescriptionNo pictures or links for this one. However, there are some pictures on my camera at school. I'm posting this one anyway. One of the activities I do for our expository writing for description is have my friends write a description of a favorite object. We then trade papers, and based on only what was written, another friend draws the object. Without fail, my more detailed writers get the better pictures. When my friends get their pictures back, it is suddenly very clear to them what they may have left out of their description or how their writing may have confused the reader. I have them revise their writing, and they are always 100% better. Fairy Dust Pencils This is from the preschool blog Fairy Dust Teaching. She makes these pencils for her friends when she is ready to teach how to hold and use a pencil. It got me thinking. Wouldn't it be fun to have your friends make a special pencil or pen to be used ONLY for final copies or special projects? I'm not sure I would go with the glitter on the pencil. That might get awfully messy, and I would be afraid of what all that glitter would do to my pencil sharpeners. However, if you are decorating pens, I'm thinking about all the patterned duct tape they have out now. Your friends could cover pens in strips of that and have feathers poking out the top. Just thinking off the top of my head here. This might be a fun way to spark some writers. Book CoversNo pictures or links again. Well, sort of. Let me explain. This is something I have done with my friends with great success. I have them find a book they have read and take construction paper to fit it for a new dust cover. I like to do it the size of the book because we actually leave the new dust covers on the books when we put them back in our class library. For the project, they have to create an original cover illustration, and the back will have a "grabber" summary that does not give away the ending. I'm sure some of you have done this project already. Now, I actually do have a link. ReadWriteThink.org has a book jacket maker online. Your friends can just plug in all the information and it will generate the book jacket. You can select to do just he front cover, front and back, or the full dust cover. You can also select if you want it done in color or black and white depending on the printer you have available to you. Math Favorite math joke of my friends: What did the social studies book say to the math book? Dude! You've got problems! See, they are as corny as I am. We are a perfect fit! Anyway, here are some fun math artsy things for ya. The O.R.E.O. ProjectHave you seen this one? Sadly, I saw it after I had already finished teaching the concepts of mean, mode, median, maximum, and minimum. However, I'm thinking it will be fun to do during those last couple of days of school when my friends have already essentially checked out. The link above will take you to the project instructions, but if you want to see real life application, visit Rundee's Room blog. It is a great blog to follow. If you visit her site, you will see exactly how she conducted the activity. This may not be so much about art, but in the end they can make some crazy Oreo sculptures. Math About Me This is a great project for the beginning of the school year. Your friends create a poster that shows all the numbers that are important in their lives. Shows how math is all around us, and it could be a great get-to-know-you activity. I'm thinking if you wanted to do this later in the year, you could require your friends to use other number names that the class would have to figure out. For example, instead of saying I was born on May 8th, they might say they were born on four squared divided by two. The would write the equation of course, I just couldn't figure out how to type in an exponent! Math Maps I really like this, but there was no link. I found this on Pinterest. The link above will take you to the board it was posted on, but the link is "uploaded by user" so it doesn't take you to a web page. However, the comment notes that the kids are given a set of directions to follow so that the map includes parallel lines, intersecting lines, perpendicular lines, a variety of angles and geometric shapes, and more. I'm thinking you could probably write your own directions for this. Maybe not directions as much as just saying your map must include X,Y, and Z. Then, it's up to your friends to be creative. Science and Social Studies source Honest to goodness, when it comes to science, that picture above says it all for me! Science is my least favorite subject to teach. I really feel as if it is a different language sometimes. However, I find when I do hands-on projects or activities with my friends, we all understand the concepts much better. What follows may not be science experiments but more art centered activities. Teaching Landforms This is from the Crayola web site. They give you all the directions. Of course, they endorse all their projects in the process. However, I was thinking this would be a great way to include an environmental aspect to the lesson by having your friends use old magazines to do this. They could tear out pages that have the colors and textures they are looking for. They could also search at home for any stray papers that might work. Lava in a Cup This is very cool! This is an area of science I don't cover, but I would love to try this anyway. The supplies and steps are super short and simple. It's the last step, sprinkling salt on top, that makes the "lava" bubble up and down the glass. Sedimentation This is from a home schooler's blog. This one actually follows scientific method and involves just a few simple materials to conduct the activity: rocks, sand, soil, and a jar. Then, like in the picture above which is from the blog, your friends can recreate their results. I would probably do this as a small group activity rather than have each friend do their own simple to keep the mess and supplies to a minimum. YOU MUST GO TO THIS PHYSICS WEB SITE!!!Have I made myself clear?! Just kidding! But really. You must go to this web site if you teach anything to do with physics. It is all about making laptop books (interactive notebook?) for a variety of physics concepts. Honestly, all our notebooks should look like this. Guaranteed to keep your friends interested and involved. It takes what I did with my Newton's Laws of Motion flip charts to a whole new level. Here's a couple of pictures from the site for the light and sound laptop book to give you an idea. Open it up, and. . . ta da!!!! I'm thinking you could add each component as you teach it. There are many more fantastic ideas on this site. I really like the magnetism book. Native American Stories I have done this one! The link above will take you to the Canku Ota web page, a Native American online newsletter. The page will have the two pages below, as well as some other coloring pages. For this project, I've had my friends write the story of a Native American tribe we have studied. In writing the story, they use the symbols above to replace words as often as they can. I've also done it as a fiction writing where they write a personal narrative telling about their day as if they were a Native American. Instead of regular paper, I give them brown butcher block paper and a black Sharpie to write their story. Then, I have them crumple and recrumple their paper until it is wrinkled and soft as buffalo hide. They are always amazed at how the paper becomes soft as fabric. If time allows, you can always go back with paint and color some of the symbols. It's a fun project. So, there you have it. Just a few fun projects to spark some thinking. How can we bring a little fun back in to our classrooms? I'll be back on Tuesday with some pictures of my classroom and some other posts during the week. Until then, have a great Sunday!
Try this super fun, and simple science project today! Students learn about landforms and animal habitats as they make this landform diorama project. This is a perfect simple science project.

You just never know if you will win, who knows maybe this is your lucky time. Go to my previous post and scroll down to enter or just click here to get you there. Today's post will be nice and short. We worked on land forms and made an anchor chart together. They each made a land form poster and they came out cute! And something waaaaay off topic. I left this cute little surprise in our fridge for my husband. Can't wait to see his reaction when he open the fridge door. And of course I added something sarcastic in the end hehe. There is nothing more awkward than walking in a store with beer in your hand and trying to hide from possible students. I'm pretty sure many teachers can relate! HA!

So, I have to vent for a second. I don't EVER post about my personal life, but I am feeling the need for some bloggy friend support. I have been staying at work SUPER late since school has started this year. I didn't leave the building until 6:30 today and 6:45 yesterday and then I come home and I STILL have stuff to do! My significant other normally travels every week and is home on the weekends. He just recently stopped traveling a few weeks ago and his next work project is located in our own town so he's been home. It is always kind of an adjustment when he is home all the time because he is a VERY active person and enjoys going out and doing things on a regular basis during the week and I just can't keep up sometimes. I, on the other hand, have been swamped with things for school and so I am often doing work on my computer when he gets home. He essentially told me last week that he wasn't happy. It think it mainly comes down to how much time I have been spending doing my work. There are some other things, but this is the major problem. I have been trying REALLY hard to get everything done at school so I don't have to bring anything home, but I just can't seem to get it all done. And to top it all off, I am flippin' exhausted after my BUSY 12 hour day. I have vowed to try harder to do more things with him and around the house instead of coming home and working every day, but I still don't know that I will be able to do this all the time because of everything I need to do and how tired I am from my day. So, I guess I just need your advice...How do you balance it all and have a life?? Seriously...what's your secret?! Anyway, on to the goods! I posted yesterday about my landforms flipbook we made in class this week! Remember, these cute things!? The students finished making theirs today and I totally forgot to take pictures of them! Click HERE to download your free file! Also, I am in the brainstorming phase of my new Halloween unit and Lord knows when I'll be able to sit down and ACTUALLY work on that with everything else going on in my life right now, but just know, IT will happen sometime before mid October! =) My idea is "Boo in the Zoo: An Animal Themed Halloween Unit." I want to incorporate ELA, Math, and Science all in one. Here are some things I'm thinking: * Animal Research (Bats, Owls, Cats, Spiders, and other creepies) * Spooky and Weird Animal Adaptations * Habitats Trick or Treat (Students would pretend they were going Trick or Treating in each habitat and draw or write things they would find there to add to their Trick or Treat bag) I know it sounds crazy, but I'm still in the thinking phase! =) * Bewitching Words (Students would pick and animal and write describing words) * Monstrous Metaphors & Spooktacular Similes (Animal related of course!) That's all I've got so far! What do you guys think? Any requests or suggestions of things you would like to see included? I'd love your ideas!

I first discovered what fun these posters could be when I attended a workshop by Sue Patrick at a homeschool conference. She sells some of her posters already made HERE. I couldn't afford the pre-made posters, so I made my own. You can purchase all of these posters online, but I was able to purchase and laminate mine at Lakeshore Learning Center. The idea behind these posters is for learning to be FUN and INTERACTIVE! Rather than trying to memorize the poster by looking at it--get involved with some velcro! This is a great way to learn for those kids who have to touch everything! I purchased two of the same Skeletal System Posters. I laminated both. I then covered up all of the words with blue Duck Tape. Using the second poster, I cut out all of the words and adhered them to the first poster with velcro. Purchase Skeleton Poster. (This one is more money than I paid, but I couldn't find it elsewhere. You can probably find something similar at Target or your teacher resource store for less than $3. I paid $2.50 for this one.) I love clear velcro because it does not distract from what is going on in the poster--this is especially helpful for the next poster . . . Geography Terms. Want to learn all 46 Geography Terms? I typed them up and you can DOWNLOAD them HERE for FREE! Print on colored cardstock and laminate for durability. Purchase Geography Terms. You only need one. By the way, I wouldn't recommend giving all of these definitions to your kids in one pile--a tad overwhelming. Have your student master various sections of the poster before moving on--perhaps 10 at a time depending on the age. Make your student feel successful! You can purchase CLEAR VELCRO by the yard at Joann--don't forget to use a coupon! This is much cheaper than the individual velcro dots. For this Parts of Speech Poster, you'll need to cover the middle section (that has multiple words on it) with white paper and then laminate. Next, you'll need library card holders from any office supply or education store. Add parts of speech labels (or write them on) to each holder. We all have a stack of word cards/flash cards somewhere--have your student put each word in the correct library card holder. Purchase Parts of Speech. You'll only need to buy one. I laminated two Solar System Posters, used black Duck Tape to cover up the planet names, cut out the planet names from the second poster and put the names on with velcro. Purchase Our Solar System. Remember you'll need to buy two! Have fun learning! Have questions? Feel free to send me an email.
