Making Words With Hot Chocolate

It's time for a freebie from our Teachers Pay Teachers store!  This will be a great activity for this week (for the few of us teaching until Friday), but it will also work great for January.  Head on over and get your copy.

Information Writing

We just finished up 6 weeks of informational writing!  Whew!  I am ashamed to admit that I wasn't really looking forward to it, I ended up LOVING it.  In small groups my students chose an animal to study and we read books, magazines and watched videos on each of the animals.  My students amazed me with the information they were able to give on their animals.  We will do final class presentations on Monday.  We did a whole class study on BATS before their small group work so that I would be able to model, model, model.  I have had a B.Y.U. student in my classroom for the past few weeks and she took their final writing project and turned it into a little movie. ENJOY!

'Tis the Season

The December Holidays are right around the corner and we are definitely in the spirit here at First Grade and Fancy Free.  We've added two new items to our teachers pay teachers store.  

We have created holiday subtraction color by number activities.

We have also created a fun sight word game that contains all 107 Zeno sight words.  It can be played like "crash" or as a memory game.  It would be great to laminate and use as a literacy center or as a fast finisher.

We hope you have a great holiday weekend!

Who Will Carve the Turkey?

  This week we read Jerry Pallotta's book, "Who Will Carve the Turkey This Thanksgiving?"  It was a hit!  After we read the book, we had so much fun creating our own class book about who could carve the turkey.  I had such a hard time deciding which ones to share because they were all so great!

 "A great white shark could carve the turkey, but it would maybe eat me."

 

"A unicorn could carve the turkey,  but they are not real."

The cover and class book writing pages are included in our harvest/Thanksgiving unit.  Head on over to our Teachers Pay Teachers store and get yourself a copy.  There is still time to do some of the fun activities before Thanksgiving break.
