But now March is here and for me that means--Dinosaurs, Weather, and Spring Break. Who is ready for that?? Me me me me! If only it was sooner rather than later....but oh well just a few more weeks---I think I can I think I can....
Here are a couple of things we did this week (I'm such a bad picture taker---I always forget) but here's what I've got.
Of course we honored someone's birthday yesterday. I didn't really take any pictures of all of that because of all the hoopla surrounding their copyrights and what not but we watched a couple of short videos, made hats, read LOTS and LOTS of books, and practiced making words with word families and working a lot on rhyming activities.
The first couple of pictures are from where we practiced making -at words. I gave each student a piece of foam to use as their work mat. They also were given a bag of letters and we practiced making words. They do very well with this so this was mainly a review.
This picture is from a rhyming work station. The students had to match the three rhyming cars. I found this activity at the Dollar Tree a few years ago.
This word family activity is a new one that I bought when our classrooms were given some extra money to spend. The students had to match the word family cards to the correct strip.
Those are just a few pictures...sorry there's not more! I'll try to remember next week to take more once we begin our Dinosaur unit.
Here is my March currently.
I turned on HGTV because Bath Crashers was on earlier and haven't changed the channel. I wish one of them would come crash my house...we need some updates.
This has to be like the 3rd Saturday in a row that I haven't done anything particular besides school and house work. Been kinda nice....
But again...is this laziness helping me?? I really should do um....hmm...what can I do?? I don't have anywhere to go right now....nothing I need to spend money on....no extra money to spend....so nah I'll just be lazy!! :)
I have always wanted to learn how to make clip art and doodles but I'm unsure of what programs I would need. I did download sketchbook express on the ipad but not sure if that's what I need.....ahhh the joys of learning all of this technology.
Can we make Monday an official weekend day??
Ok--so N is hard to come up with....
but yes I like nice people---just be nice it'll go along way
Neatness....it helps
Negativity---downer
Check back tomorrow----possibly a freebie and to see my new learning centers that I bought for a STEAL from Mailbox!!!!
I love your blog Nicki, the colors are gorgeous & the owls are too cute! I am all for a lazy Saturday, but this is the last few days of my vacation & I think I have been lazy enough! So it is back to work (and real life) for me! I love that dollar tree rhyming activity btw, they have the best stuff!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make clipart too but I am afraid that is a no go... I seriously cannot even make a stick figure! HA. I hope you can figure it out though, I would love to see what you come up with!

I'd love to be able to create clip art too! It's on my to-do list :)

Ooooh I love HGTV! :) I am working on learning how to make clip art digitally too. I really stink at drawing on the computer (though an Ipad would help!) so I think I'll just have to end up scanning images and editing them digitally. I have heard that Adobe Illustrator is great though.

Fun in PreK-1
I'm all for Monday as a part of the weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove your center activities, they look super fun! I know my littles would enjoy the word making center. Do you use a recording sheet with that or just let them go to town? hehe
ReplyDeleteI SO agree with the 3 day weekend idea!! Who decided that weekends should only be 2 days? Sheesh.
Hope you had a marvelous Monday!
Hugs!

Well right now...they just went to town only because I had just gotten the activity and actually just took the plastic off when they began using it! LOL
DeleteI think Monday's should be mandatory extra weekend days...!!!!
