Adjectives

I saw this idea on Pinterest and fell in love.  My class was just introduced to adjectives this week and we needed a project to help demonstrate what they are.  I took a picture of each student and printed it.  Then each student brainstormed on the SmartBoard adjectives that they would use to describe each other.  Once we printed the list out for each student they wrote their adjectives around the pictures.  They are hanging up in the hall and are so cute!


Here I am!







They all turned out so good!  I have to admitt I was a little nervous because "marker doesn't erase!"

He loves me, he loves me not...

Happy Valentine's Day!  I love this holiday- the pink, the hearts, the chocolate... what's not to love?  We had fun decorating our room.

I think this bulletin board is so cute but it does look kind of skimpy...  There are only 8 'chocolates' in my heart box.  Of course it would look better with more kids.  Next year I might try larger pictures inside coffee filters.  And it is true, they really are my sweeties :)

Every year they think this is magic!  I have red, white, pink, and purple crayon shavings that we sandwich in between two pieces of wax paper then iron.  This is more of a 'watch what happens as your teacher does all the work' kind of project but that's ok. 

One of my Valentine's Day gifts to my students was heart shaped crayons.  It is way easier that I thought it would be.  The most time consuming part of making these was breaking up the crayons into little pieces.  On mine, there is a clearish wax layer that floated to the top that doesn't produce any color. But when using they adjust the crayons and they can create such cool pictures!

Happy Valentine's Day!

100 Days?!?!

On January 28, 2013 we celebrated the 100th day of school.  WHAT!  I cannot beleive how fast the year is going by!  We celebrated by dressing up like we were 100 years old, brought 100 food items to mix together for a snack mix, rested for 100 seconds, took 100 steps, dribbled basketballs 100 times, and made "100" glasses to wear.  It was an awesome time!

Here we are dressed how we think we would look at 100 years old. We had gray hair, canes, and old looking clothes. I must say, I love my outfit :)

I found this idea on Pinterest.  It was a poster but I created a frame.  Each student put on their cool "100" glasses and held the frame up for a picture.  The frame says "It's time to party, you're a 100 day old smarty!"  They loved taking their picture with this.  Then I hung the frame and the pictures up in the hall for everyone to see.

I hope everyone else had a great 100th day!

Winter Wonderland!

I've been a little slow at posting, I know.  But I've just been so busy!  The snow definitely showed up in our state this year!  We made plenty of crafts to decorate our room and hallway.

For our winter bulletin board, each student water color painted 3 round coffee filters.  Once they were dry we folded and cut away.  Colorful snowflakes, huh?  Makes me think of snowflakes made from acid rain...

We made snowmen to hang in the hallway.  Picking out the buttons to hang down his tummy is always a favorite part of this project.  I like how individual each snowman looks, from the different scarf patters to they way the faces look.

Our last addition to our hallway decorations were penguins.  These also turn out cute because they are all put together a little differently.

Happy Shoveling :)
