Measurement

We did a little measurement review today. Each student got their own Play Doh. They made a long "snake." Then they cut their Play Doh into different sizes. It was a review on using a ruler. I had each student use a plastic knife to cut their Play Doh. After they cut it I had students line up their snakes up from shortest to longest. Of course at the end of the lesson I let them play with the Play Doh. As you can see in the pictures they used their imagination to create some type of Play Doh guy. Lots of fun! Definitely recommend this activity!

Greater Than, Less Than, Equal To

This is a printable I created.  I will post a link to it for free in the very near future!

I gave students a handful of Legos.  Students took them and made two different stacks.  After they made the stacks they counted the Legos and wrote the amounts down.  In between the amounts students wrote a greater, less than, or equal to sign.  They absolutely loved this!  It's a great way to teach all of your little kinesthetic learners.

Look at these two little cuties!  Spring is absolutely beautiful in Indiana!  They are enjoying a little r and r on the hammock.  I love those little dudes.  They are so stinking adorable!

Aliens Don't Wear Underpants

I read the book titled, "Aliens Love Underpants," then we worked on retelling what happened in the story. 

I created a little bit of math to go with this book.  Students were to measure their underpants length and height. But I totally forgot about it!  Maybe next time!  By the time I remembered the underwear were all hung up!  Too late!

We made a little craft to go with our story.  My crafty class mom made all different types of underpants. Bloomers, boxers, etc. . .  But before they got to choose the kind of underpants they wanted students wrote an opinion piece.  The prompt was, "Why do you think Aliens want come to our planet to take our underpants?"

This is the other side of the bloomers. 

Random

Look at this cute guy! You will never guess what he is watching . . . My Little Pony on Netflix! I wonder if my boys are the only ones obsessed with that show!

Soil

Check out my new unit on tpt, "I Musteach You About Soil." It is the perfect soil mini unit.  It has a little bit of everything.

 

Rocks!

 This week we began our rock unit.  I purchased the rock unit from Tunstalls Teaching Tidbits.  My students really rocked on this week!

 After the scratch test we cut the page and inserted it into our science journals.

My Bulletin board.  I love it!  All of the ideas came from the rock unit.  I created the title.

 

A Student in my class brought some super neat, colorful rocks from home.  Here she is graphing her results.

On a side note, I made Easter cookies and icing from scratch.  Looks pretty good! (kinda)
