I just wanted to catch you up on what we've been up to. If you are a first grade teacher(or anyone working with kids!), you know how exciting this time of year is! We have to work hard to keep kids engaged and learning. For the past few years, I have found that "Santa's Stuck" by Rhonda Greene fits the bill. I have shared this unit before, but I keep reworking it. This year we did the traditional Santa with his legs sticking out of the chimney,
(We've done this one a gazillion times- but every year, the kids love solving the problem of Santa getting stuck!),
but then we've been doing some work on adjectives, and the use of fun words from "Must Be Santa" led to some very simple but effective focus.
The kids know their adjectives!!!
If you have my Santa's Stuck unit already, yay! If not you can get it...when you CLICK HERE!!!
There are a ton of activities included.
This week I am using "If You Take a Mouse to the Movies" as our mentor text. Such fun!! I'll post pics of our activities and problem solving soon, but if you need the unit
Again...a ton of engaging learning opportunities for your kids!
Next week??? That beloved Green Guy!!!
Again, I'll share pics as we go!
If you don't have the unit I shared last year, you're in luck,CLICK HERE!!!!
Finally, if you already have my Happy New Year unit, please download on the "CLICK" below for the 2017 version!! Can you even believe it is almost the new year??? What??? This school year can't be half way though already, can it? We have so much to do!!! So many places to go! So many problems to solve!
OK!! That's it for now!!! I've got to get working on my kids' little gifts! I loooove this time of year, almost as much as our little do! Have a wonderful week. Thanks for stopping by for a peek through our window on wonder!!
Joyfully!
Nancy
