January Winter Fun

In January we celebrated the 100th day of school by making ourselves at 100, and bringing in projects made with 100 items.  We also dreamed of snow and make snow globes with snowmen.  Take a look at some of the works of art below.  

Here we all are at 100 years old.  I think we look pretty good for 100.

SLIDING INTO GREAT PENGUIN WRITING

This past week as we read books about penguins.  We made tree maps about the stories and enjoyed reading, listening and learning.  Towards the end of the week, we began writing  about penguins.  This took around 3 days from the beginning to the end.  Listed below are samples of our work.

We made a tree map of the things penguins are, penguins have and penguins can do.  The pictures are from Kids Soup.

Here is the penguin writing paper I created.  Get it here.

Samples of my students' writing

Penguin writing and craft.  After making the tree map and writing on the penguin writing paper, we wrote from the tree map on notebook paper.  Most of the students did a great job.  Some had to be guided.  We then made a penguin and put the finished product on the penguin craft.

Here is the finished product with all of the part together.  I love it when all comes together in the end.  

 

The Jacket I Wear In The Snow

Last week we read the story "The Jacket I Wear In the Snow".  My students loved this story.  We did lots of fun activities, but they seemed to like the flip book the most.  I hope you enjoy.

The Jacket I Wear In the Snow sentences.  Beginning and end of sentences, words in a sentence, and color words. Get it here.

Here is our board put all together with our flip books, and tree map.

The pattern for the flip book is from Kelly's Kindergarten.

A sample of the writing.  This is probably some of the best writing some of our students have done. So.......we've got to do more flip books.  :-) 

Snowmen, Snowmen Everywhere

We have been reading lots of snowman books even though it does not snow here in South Ga.  The children love them, and just go along with it just like it does snow here. I did let several of them share their experiences of seeing snow for the others, and Ms. McBee made "snow" for them one day.  What fun.Here are some of the things we have been doing with our snow unit. 

Snowman art made by blowing 3 balloons up to different sizes, dipping them in paint and stamping the paper with the balloons.  You then use q-tips to paint the details of the snowman.  Very cute!

Snowman Sentences.  We used these sentences to practice finding the beginning and end of a sentence, underling the words in a sentence, and circling the color words.  I put the paper on my Promethean board so that we could work through the sentences together as a group.

 After reading so many snowman books, we labeled the parts of a snowman.  It was lots of fun.  We started out with a hat, then some of them discovered they could used describing words, so from then on we were very detailed.  :-)  We then did the easy snowman writing page.

 The next day after labeling our snowman, we went back and made a tree map on a little bit simpler level for our young K writers.  Some of the students still used some of the describing words from the snowman labeling picture.

Here is an example of the writing we did.  I'm not sure why some of them put a Christmas tree.

 Here is all the work put together, with just a few of our rock star's writing.

Below are the writing  papers we used through out the week.  Grab them if you like below.
