Living? Nonliving? Dormant? Dead? Even though teaching living vs. nonliving seems very elementary, you’d be surprised by how often high school students get confused when you throw examples at them. It makes me think of this 90’s “J-E-L-L-O it’s alive!” commercial: But in all seriousness….Teaching characteristics of life is a great way to start off ... Read more

Hello Everyone! We finished our study of living and nonliving things with a fun (and a little slimy) activity. "Gummy Worms vs Earth Worms" The activity was adapted from a similar activity in the AIMS Science curriculum. We had already discussed the characteristics of both living and nonliving things. Last week I posted about our little pet rocks. (search "Pets Rock"). This week my sweet team decided to just dive into this cute little lesson about comparing Gummy worms and earth worms. Most of us were excited about bringing earthworms into the classroom! :) Most of our sweet firsties were excited as well! Here's a quick freebie if you would like to try it!! Click here! Oh, what we don't do to help our kids experience all they can!! My kids actually ended up naming our five worms and we will be keeping them for a few more days! So cute!! Anyway, thanks for stopping to take a peek into this wonder-filled world! I appreciate you all so much!! I've been working on a couple of math activities for next week. I'll try to save time tomorrow to share those! Stay tuned!! Till then, have a great night!! Joyfully! Nancy

Hello Everyone! PHEW! Four day weeks can be very tiring! Especially the four day week that comes after the holiday break! I always try to cram five days worth of learning into four. Well, we made it through and ended the week on a fun note. We've been working on "living vs. nonliving" in science. I love the AIMS materials when it comes to engaging learning activities. On Friday, we were able to fit in a fun lesson about the difference in pets. What do we have to do to keep our pets healthy and safe? Why? Because they are living things. We learned a quick song, and then got busy making a pet that didn't need to be fed, walked, brushed, etc. We made pet rocks! We simply picked up some bags of rocks from Dollar Tree, dug out some eyes and a few other things to decorate, and tah dah! Cute little critters!! Some of the kiddos named their critters, and I even saw one little one give her critter a little kiss. Then we talked about the differences between this pet and live pets. If you want a quick little copy of this song, click here! :) The kids got to take their new Nonliving Pets home! I hope they are taking good care of them!! :) Have a great weekend!! Got to go and take care of my living pets!! :) Joyfully! Nancy

Hello Everyone!! 2014 is almost here! We are staying home, safe and sound in our living room this year! I am so happy!! We had a houseful of love and laughter this past week with both boys and friends here, and frankly, I am pooped!! It feels good to not have to cook, clean, dress up, and be "on" for a few hours!! But at the same time, I miss them already!!! I do, finally, have a minute to show a couple of pics from the week before winter break. One of my favorite days was our Grinch Day. We love celebrating the special message that Dr. Seuss illustrates in this infamous story! Here are a couple of pics! The kids went all out with grinchy green spirit! The grinch sent some sweet little elves to check on our kindness and make sure we learned from the story! Jolly, Joy, and Jingle made their debut and will probably hang around throughout the new year!! A yummy green snack was mysteriously left for the kids!! This amazing team really gets into every celebration!! I also wanted to share with you something our room moms made for our classrooms!!! The kids brought gift cards to clip onto this amazing snowman tree!! We have the best room moms around!!! When we get back from winter break we will be studying the historically significant and amazing life of Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the World. I put together a little unit about her, integrating social studies and ELA. Here are a few pics from the 17 page unit. For your own printable unit on Eleanor Roosevelt, click here!! Another thing we will begin studying is the science concept of living and nonliving. I have shared a mini unit on this topic before, but I revamped it a bit, so I'm offering it again! Here are a few pics from the 9 page unit. For your little living/nonliving unit click here!! I hope these little offerings will help your 2014 get off to a good start. Stay tuned for a little somethin' somethin' later in the week!! Till then, be safe and warm tonight. Welcome 2014!!! Joyfully! Nancy
Engage your students in exciting science lessons about living and nonliving things.
Most children can identify living and nonliving objects, but can't explain WHY something is living or nonliving. These hands-on activities will help!
So one thing that I am having difficulty with as I transition the year through kindergarten is depth and complexity. Coming from third grade I seem to struggle with how to stretch "simple"
Free Living and Non-Living Montessori Cards If you've read about our activities for a while, you'll see that we tend to repeat things quite a bit. This week, I stuck the living, non-living sorting into the workbox once again. DD really enjoyed it (LD only did the cards below and that was only because DD asked him to!) I can't remember where I got the file folder game on the top left. The purple cards on the top right is from Evan Moor's Take it to your Seat Science. From there, the kids will go on to do basic animal classification - dividing the living things into invertebrates and vertebrates and then into the five animal kingdoms. (We'll repeat that sorting activity another day soon.)

Spring is definitely my favorite time of year to teach Science! There are just so many hands-on concepts that are so interesting to the students. Plants, of course, is always so interesting because they are something the kids can see all around them and they all have some kind of experience with. First up, here are some of our centers we have going on during our study of plants. This first one is the same green mat as the one below, just with different sorting objects. This is our Spring Sensory Tub. So far, it contains flowers, pots, rubber bugs, and bug cards that the students can match with the rubber bugs. This seed matching center is one of my favorite Science centers. Each large card contains an empty seed packet and some seeds. The students find the small card with the same seeds and matches it to the large card. One of the student's favorite activities was going on a nature hunt and then using what they found to create their own nature collages. And of course, no study on plants would be complete without planting our own beans! We planted pinto and lima. (The clear cups make it easy to see how the roots grow!) Want to completely amaze your Kinders?! Just change white carnations into colored carnations with food coloring and water! At the end of our unit on plants, I split the students into five groups and they made posters to present to the class about what they learned. Watching them work together and figure it all out on their own is always my favorite part of group projects. I wrote the title for each group on a piece of paper, but the students did all the planning, writing and drawing on their own. "How to Plant a Seed" "Plant Needs" "What We Know About Plants" "Types of Plants" "Parts of a Plant" Update: I have created a Living & Nonliving Mini Unit to continue our study of living and nonliving things. You can see it on Teachers Pay Teachers, here. Or you can read about it on my newest blog post, here.
In this activity the child sorts items based on whether they represent living or non-living things.

We will begin our unit on "The Needs of Living Things" after Christmas break, but I like to start out the unit by talking about the differences between living and non-living things. While students think they are pretty good at identifying living and non-living things, the question I pose to students is, "How do you know?" I've come up with 4 simple questions for students to ask themselves when determining if something is living... Does it eat? Does it need air? Does it grow? Does it reproduce? Students must prove that something is living by talking as scientists, "I know it is living because it eats, it can grow, it needs air, and it can make more of itself (reproduce)." Students will sort using the freebie below! I usually print it at 85% and cut it down so they can put it in their science notebooks. The second page is doubled up for easy printing.

We learned all about Apples this week! We used our theme of Apples to learn about letters, patterns, and plants. We learned how and where apples grow. We even tasted apples and cooked apple tarts! Here is a look into our week of Apples... Playing in the Apple Orchard We painted apples and learned the parts of an apple We tasted different types of apples. We then wrote a journal and graphed our favorite apple. Making homemade apple tarts Counting and Sorting apples from the apple tree We learned about patterns this week. We used classroom items to practice and create patterns. Check out these AB patterns! We began discussing the letter Aa. We learned how to write the letter Aa, the sounds that the letter Aa makes, as well as words that begin with Aa. It has been another great week in Pre-K 4!!

This free living and non-living things packet is a simple but wonderful tool for sorting practice, creative expression, community learning, or a science center! Simply cut out the labels and pictures and allow students to sort the cards. The included poster is a convenient reference guide for students who are not as familiar with the concept of "living" and "nonliving." One "Living Things" poster, two "Living" and "Nonliving" labels, and 18 picture cards are included in this free packet. Ideas for Use: My class and I used this activity to practice our teamwork skills. I prepped by printing, cutting, and pasting the “Living” and “Nonliving” labels to a sheet of posterboard with a line down the center. The picture cards were passed out to the students. Each student named their card to the class, used the poster as a reference to determine living or non, and the class responded their thoughts. The student then got to paste their picture onto the posterboard in the proper category. You can vary this by using tape instead of glue, or by using baskets instead of posterboard. You can also print numerous copies and allow children to do the activity individually and paste onto construction paper. Additionally, laminating the separate cards would provide for a great science center! Do you like this freebie? Then you'll love my Preschool and Kindergarten Science Interactive Notebook!.
