It’s kind of like a power point, but on blogger instead. So I guess we will call it a Blogger-Point. If you are able to log onto blogs at school, pull this blog post up and teach right off of it! Now if you cannot pull up a {blogspot} at school, remember I am a {dot} com as well. It’s a way to get around those pesky district site blockers.

I like to do this “open book” on the same day we read the book for the first time. I teach my first graders how to go back into the text and find the answers.

Okay--I know this is REALLY last minute. Maybe it can help out someone out there for something this week... or it could be something you save for when you teach about the president/government. I found this great book from scholastic (but I see from searching for a picture that you can get it from Amazon): It's a cute book that shows real kids and tells about the different qualities the president has (should have??) This week I am having my kids write how they are each of those traits (after reading the book and listing the qualities on chart paper (with a few reminders of what that trait is). Check out what they've done so far!! {At school I'm respectful because I listen to the teacher.} {At ballet class, I say sorry if I bump into a ballerina at ballet class.} {I never give up doing soccer in my backyard.} Click on the picture below to grab yourself a copy.

Are you anything like me? Does your mind wander back to work while on vacation? Do you poop out parties? Oh wait! Wrong “Lucy” episode… My mind wanders back to work. . . . . I took pictures before I left, and this is a great time to show you how far we have come in our study of woodland mammals. When we get back, we will talk about hibernation. So far we have learned what a mammal is….. {All of the fluency pages are provided at 2 levels for differentiation} And we have learned about specific mammals that live in the woods. Skunks fluency and art with warning booklets. Building Beavers Fluency, Art, and Teamwork: Teams worked on building complex sentences from 2 simple sentences. For raccoons, we did the "raccoon and nocturnal animals fluency passages. Then, we wrote our favorite facts on the raccoons’ tummies. “Raccoons hunt at nite” It’s cute, but it’s not cute… nite… Can you see the cute moon and book in the picture? That is Monday’s phonics lesson! The two sounds of /oo/. 1. We will sort the “oo” words onto either the “book” or the “moon”. 2. Then each student will do this page on their own. If you want to download the /oo/ activity and/or make your own charts When we return we will learn more about Opossums: fluency, art, and deciding what is “True and False”, Hibernation fluency and science experiment and Porcupines fluency, art, and place value! Plus, I will have 5 grades in my grade book for science using the tests from this unit! Oh, I love a good assessment! 5 good assessments is, well, delicious! Woo-Hoo the grade book is getting full !!! Now, I am not in a hurry to get back to work, but it sure is nice to have something fun to look forward to!
