We are learning about more time and less time. The students are building towers based on the number they draw from their bag. Before they can build their tower they must decide with their face partner who will take more time and who will take less time.</span><br />

As always, I love using activities that my students can work on independently. This activity set is great for independent center work. Each page includes tracing, printing practice, phonics, and letter recognition cut and paste activities. Once I show them how to complete the page, they know exactly what to do the next time they work on it. They love the feeling of accomplishment when they have completed the page all alone.<br />

One of the things we continue to work on in the classroom is one to one counting. A fun way to do this is by using our numbers on the floor. The kids each get a box of toys or counting manipulatives from the cubbies and start counting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The students are taught various structure methods to engage them in classroom activities. "<span style="background-color: #fffef3; color: #444444; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17.408000946044922px;">The Kagan Structures have proven themselves effective teaching and learning tools for cooperative learning, multiple intelligences, character education, language learning, and emotional intelligence.</span><span style="background-color: #fffef3; color: #444444; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17.408000946044922px;"> " (Kagan Online)</span><br />
<br />
One example of a structure is Hand-Up, Stand-Up, Pair-Up. During this the students will be walking around the room while the music is playing. When the music stops, the children will each find the person closest to them and high five. Depending on what we are working on they will share information, count, talk/listen, etc. In the activity below the students were in engaged in active talking and listening while they were sharing their all about me posters.<br />

Another structure is Quiz, Quiz, Trade. Here the students again walk around the classroom while the music is playing and find a partner when the music stops. Taking turns, the students one at a time, share/teach their partner the number on their flash card. When I say trade they switch cards. Each child is then leaving his or her partner knowing a new number which was just taught to them by a student in the classroom. We do this with letters, rhyming words, and will eventually use words!! So <span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">EXCITING</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">!!!</span><br />

Here is an example of the Rally/Coach strategy. The students were putting the letters of the alphabet in alphabetical order. ABC Order as often we call it. They were taking turns selecting the appropriate next letter. If a child happened to pick the wrong letter, their partner would "coach" them as to which letter would be correct. I often call them the TEACHERS. That makes it even more exciting because they feel like they are totally in charge<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">!! </span><br />

I start out the unit by exploring the different coins. We identify and learn about the penny, nickel, and dime. One of the first things we do is identify the head and tail sides of the coins. After shaking up their coins, and of course singing a crazy little song, they drop their coins on the table and sort. Then we draw the coins on the paper, write in the correct amount the coin is worth, and then count. Grab this little sorting freebie by clicking on the picture.<br />

At the end of the unit it's time to shop<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">!</span> This is also a great way to encourage and welcome my parents in to engage in their child's learning in the classroom. It is so much fun and the kids love it. All of them items in the store were donated by my classroom parents, and we use our classroom money to "buy" a bag full of goodies. <br />

I haven't actually disappeared, but I did take on a new challenge this fall. Yeah! I decided to start coaching Jr. High volleyball, and I loved every minute of it. I am excited to be back blogging again and have missed sharing my classroom activities with you. With 3 very busy kiddos of my own at home, I kept very busy. My girls were undefeated in the post season tournament and we shared a lot of laughs. I had a blast and look forward to next season.<br />

My kiddos just love these because they are a fun little challenge. Each puzzle has two versions: with and without a word bank. I love this activity because several kiddos may need the word bank, while others may be ready to try them without. Teachers can use the version that is just right for each individual learner. So....if your kiddos need a little extra fun, check them out.<br />

My student teacher, Ms. Olson, had some fun activities planned for us today. Along with Ms. Olson, Fancy Nancy taught us all about being green. We read <u><span style="color: #38761d;">Fancy Nancy, Every Day is Earth Day</span></u> and enjoyed the part about, "Less than mile, bike in style."<br />
<br />
Then we went out and littered<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">! </span>Yes, we littered because it was great for the kids to see what our playground would like if we all just threw our trash on the ground. No fun!!! YUCK!!! Who wants to play on a playground that looks like that?<br />

So, sometimes getting students to connect with and remember various reading concepts can be difficult at times. <i>What are characters again? What did she mean when she said setting? Events??? Author?? Illustrator??</i> <b>Really!!</b> These are new concepts for our little kiddos and they can be <u>a lot</u> to remember. My kiddos are only 5!</div>
<br />
It hit me 4 years ago when I was working with a new student. She couldn't for the life of her remember who characters were, what events were, etc, but as soon as I did something funny with each one - WAM! - she got it. It worked!!! So, I made these "funnies" part of my every day lessons. I made them <u>real</u> for her.<br />
<br />
<b>Title</b> - "what the story is called"<br />
<b>Author</b> - "writes the story"<br />
<b>Illustrator</b> - "colors or paints the pictures"<br />
<b>Characters</b> - "the people or animals we meet in the story"<br />
<b>Setting</b> - "where they go"<br />
<b>Events</b> - "things that happen in the story" (Yes, you have to shake it!)<br />
<br />

We learned all about <span style="color: #3d85c6;">PENGUINS</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">! </span>Tacky has to my favorite "odd" bird to have around. We did a little mini-research project about our favorite penguins, made a cute little penguin for the wall, waddled like a penguin with an egg on our feet, became a penguin in icy cold water, and finally made and edible penguin. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">SUPER FUN</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">!!!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><u>Becoming a Penguin</u></span></div>
After talking about how penguins can swim in that super cold water without freezing, we decided to try it out. On one hand we put a cotton glove (feather & blubber) and a purple latex free glove (the oil on their feathers). This was our penguin hand. Ready, set, freeze!!! It was so fun to feel each hand when we pulled off the gloves. One hand was warm, and the other one was freezing. They just giggled and giggled.<br />

We packed up and headed to my mom and dad's house. It's always great to go home for a few days.<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span> I love you mom and dad<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">!!</span> :) <br />
<br />
I am sooooo excited to show you the phonics pack I just finished - <span style="color: #660000;"><a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Trace-Say-Glue-Write-Letters-and-Sounds-993985" target="_blank">Trace, Say, Glue and Write</a></span>! My daughter is in kindergarten, and when I was making this she couldn't wait for me to finish the "Kk" page. She told me she got an <u>N</u> on her progress report because she was having trouble printing the lowercase "k" correctly, and she <i><span style="font-size: large;">needed</span></i> the "Kk" page to practice. Soooo, this pack was kid approved, even before it was finished<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">!!!</span> She sat down beside me working on the pages before I even had it finished. lol<br />

I created a page for each letter in the alphabet and then several pages with multiple letters for review. I wanted a little something extra for when I introduce the letters and sounds. This is great for independent practice or center work. Plus, my kiddos love using their highlighter, and I let them use it on the trace part. Then they find and glue on the pictures that begin with the correct sound, find and glue on the matching letters (I used various fonts), and finally write the uppercase and lowercase letter 5 times each. Here is an example of the "Bb" page. Download the preview file to check it out.<br />

A couple weeks ago, I finished <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Trace-Count-Glue-Write-Numbers-Number-Words-941907" target="_blank">Trace, Count, Glue and Write</a>. It is the same idea but includes numbers, counting, ten frames and number words. I am working on Trace, Read, Glue and Write with CVC, CVCC, CCVC, and high frequency words. It will be finished soon!! :)<br />

Okay, not really, but what if you used it as a teaching lesson? You can be sure your students will never forget the lesson. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

People are great examples of symmetry, so I tape up my kids. And believe it or not, they <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">LOVE</span> it<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">!! </span>We talk about what symmetrical means - both side are the same, and we even have a little chant, "Symmetrical Same." (We put our hands together above our heads and say "symmetrical" then in front of us palms out and we say "same.") One day the kids really got into the "same" and they told me I was not symmetrical because I had a watch on one wrist. Yep, they were correct. <br />
<br />
We also got to do some other fun activities with symmetry like paint and build symmetrical shapes. When we build our shapes, the kids like to make one side and then trade with a partner to see if their partner can finish the shape and make it symmetrical on both sides. <br />

I gave them several objects to feel, and then we picked a word to describe it. We used a cotton ball, button, glitter star, foil, and feather. <br />

"But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. The woman realized what had happened to her, so she came, trembling with fear, knelt at his feet, and told him the whole truth. Jesus said to her, "My daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your trouble." Mark 5: 32-34<br />
