I live by this dance!! My class last year helped me make up a whole dance to this song. My kids think of it as a brain break but it's so effective! When my kids are reading I will hear them get to a word and whisper their song for the chunk. I will upload a video very soon!!
The kids get so excited about doing this! They get to experiment how water transforms from a solid, liquid, and gas. We created this quick anchor chart. (I am not a drawer!) Of course I used gas as their mom's making mac and cheese on the stove. :) They each got a few ice chips. Their hands represented the suns heat. They had so much fun!
Every year I buy new small reading rugs or bean bags for read to self. It has added up quite quickly. Also students in first grade sometimes have a hard time with proximity of space. So for read to self and read to someone I saw this cute idea! The kids sit in their basket with the pillow and a whisper phone. My students LOVE it! If they are reading the someone the baskets go next to one another and the book goes in the middle of them. After reading groups students stack the baskets and put the whisper phones on top. I'm loving this and they are super presh in those baskets.
Pinterest is such an obsession! I saw this and had to do it!!
These turned out super cute and super affordable! I just put a handful of each of the foods below. I think the kids are going to love them! I even made one of Channing and his teachers tomorrow. I absolutely love the Back to School Oreos! They look perfect in the clear sleeves. To find the free printable click here. I can't wait to see my doodlebugs faces when they receive their present!
