We used this idea for our creative writing project. We took a tour of our school and visited all the places: music, PE, library, counselor, computer lab, nurse, office, cafeteria, etc…<br>When we got back to the room we talked about how all the people that worked in our building help us out and how they are important to our learning. They then wrote about our school and why it is such a special place. They were so creative and really brightened up our hallways at conference time!! We had a lot of compliments.

We tried to cheer up the room with a few snowmen “craftivities” but it was difficult to get in the mood when we didn’t even need a coat at most of our recess days! So we decided that we would just have to “pretend” and travel south to Antarctica and learn about our favorite winter friend-TACKY the Penguin! We just finished up our Penguin theme this week and they amazed me with all the facts they learned and applied to their penguin writing. We had a “parade of penguin” centers and activities that we did this week.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-CmowmFajd1g/TyOSUh19LqI/AAAAAAAAFdc/Qo1BidIv-JY/s1600-h/penguin%252520poem%25255B7%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="penguin poem" border="0" alt="penguin poem" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Vj-3uGaHnQo/TyOSVMl183I/AAAAAAAAFdg/p1VaLbl1OV8/penguin%252520poem_thumb%25255B5%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="596" height="402"></a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-creWRWFeK8Y/TyOSV7D0iFI/AAAAAAAAFdk/lOcN6dj2faU/s1600-h/penguin%252520centers%2525201%25255B9%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="penguin centers 1" border="0" alt="penguin centers 1" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ViyRsv9YFJQ/TyOSWnnwcSI/AAAAAAAAFdo/pUIJAhuRK_0/penguin%252520centers%2525201_thumb%25255B7%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="645" height="442"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-yGS4zNN1ngA/TyOSXu7DkEI/AAAAAAAAFds/uBvFEpsvAok/s1600-h/penguin%252520centers%2525202%25255B9%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="penguin centers 2" border="0" alt="penguin centers 2" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-jT0MHie7tQ4/TyOSY6DXVkI/AAAAAAAAFdw/8IWsRmd9xjM/penguin%252520centers%2525202_thumb%25255B7%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="633" height="437"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-3KlSSV-NAe8/TyOSZ51m_fI/AAAAAAAAFd0/wCIQkm4PnBI/s1600-h/penguin%252520facts1%25255B7%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="penguin facts1" border="0" alt="penguin facts1" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-t269l0oX8Zo/TyOSaY3jq7I/AAAAAAAAFd4/TRe8ehiXOKo/penguin%252520facts1_thumb%25255B5%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="585" height="400"></a></p> <p align="center">After reading and researching information on penguins we used our KWL chart and wrote what we had learned about penguins.

They were really intrigued with Ruby Bridges, Rosa Parks, and ML King’s Dreams. They just couldn’t believe those things happened to Rosa, Ruby, and Martin!

We learn which animals migrate, hibernate, and those that stay active. Starting 2012 with 60 degree temperatures here in Kansas was a little tough to make them understand the concept of migrating! Our weather has been unbelievable here! We read Animals In Winter and did a cute book called Welcome to the Animal Channel.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-jvVeKxJqCFY/TxecGdQATlI/AAAAAAAAFN8/HcVxEoqD6I4/s1600-h/DSC01635%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC01635" border="0" alt="DSC01635" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-tAhHaqU6idI/TxecGsXhD0I/AAAAAAAAFOE/E9bmafeYN2Q/DSC01635_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="258" height="385"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CwDJfzTMPx0/TxecHPB9izI/AAAAAAAAFOM/CtVSMIHFfaU/s1600-h/DSC01636%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC01636" border="0" alt="DSC01636" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-kBfU2Eh-6gU/TxecHlxaRSI/AAAAAAAAFOU/_ICFRO8vFtQ/DSC01636_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="257" height="383"></a></p> <p align="center">Next we moved on to our “Mitten” theme.

Each of the students had one mitten. First they “predicted” how many linker cubes would fit into their mitten. Then they got to stuff their mitten with linker cubes until it was ready to “pop” like in the story <u>The Mitten</u>. Then they dropped out their cubes and grouped them into tens and ones. After everyone had recorded their own findings we traveled around the classroom to count how many tens and ones fit in each of our friend’s mittens. They had a great time with place value!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-dk6TkZpNeDc/TxecT189E0I/AAAAAAAAFQ8/D6OEI6a8KQc/s1600-h/DSC01659%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px;

We worked on sorting real and nonsense words using digraphs, sorted long and short a pictures and spelled them, played + – bingo, did an ABC sort with the characters from The Mitten and used the words in complete sentence, counted tens and ones and matched up the number, and did a mitten number order line up from least to greatest. Always enjoy our center time. It is so neat to see them interact, problem solve, and enjoy the activities!!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-fViMONXSGyE/TxecduW224I/AAAAAAAAFTc/PIj6iBEVbPM/s1600-h/DSC01653%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC01653" border="0" alt="DSC01653" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-h09m5wgo31I/Txecd20xn8I/AAAAAAAAFTk/WT6UfYLSprw/DSC01653_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="351" height="235"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-jfEwV-lYauk/TxeceQkr_oI/AAAAAAAAFTs/khLKIls226s/s1600-h/DSC01654%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC01654" border="0" alt="DSC01654" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-tu1BEQ47JaU/Txece2S8SNI/AAAAAAAAFT0/UPOSPqZcbWk/DSC01654_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="347" height="233"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-hK5wKZ6xN7c/TxecfTcnjAI/AAAAAAAAFT8/BujdLCLzmS4/s1600-h/DSC01658%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC01658" border="0" alt="DSC01658" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-2wN9cy0Gi00/Txecf_RAqjI/AAAAAAAAFUE/OpFJ8SDsIno/DSC01658_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="235"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-kg4Z3fEDMIw/TxecgX_NFRI/AAAAAAAAFUM/MPFLrwwn1UA/s1600-h/DSC01655%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC01655" border="0" alt="DSC01655" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-b7glHdH2f48/Txecg9ACPKI/AAAAAAAAFUU/6Hl4YfosVxU/DSC01655_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="156" height="232"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-V7WQXzTzdc0/TxechQ8MPiI/AAAAAAAAFUc/ea9Fpgzb7XA/s1600-h/DSC01656%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC01656" border="0" alt="DSC01656" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-HC_tHmXe7xY/TxechwIaaOI/AAAAAAAAFUk/cIdydVmNzdc/DSC01656_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="360" height="241"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-v43NW769I-o/TxeciYs58kI/AAAAAAAAFUs/gImg4bxpWck/s1600-h/DSC01657%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC01657" border="0" alt="DSC01657" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-wipg6w1l_Kw/Txeci9VlcsI/AAAAAAAAFU0/c5bMzFzK-Ho/DSC01657_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="359" height="241"></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="6">Next up SNOWMEN!!!

Wow, getting back into the swing of things has been tough! Decided tonight was the night to download pictures off the camera and realized that I had not finished my posts from our last week before the holiday break! We had a fun filled week too with Holly Jolly Centers, The Grinch, and Polar Express. Here is a look at some of the things we finished 2011 with.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-nWyby19JddA/TxeP41n6MkI/AAAAAAAAFEk/6zEXdqwdN8Y/s1600-h/DSC01594%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC01594" border="0" alt="DSC01594" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-OY-z-IkTvQg/TxeP5D7zfcI/AAAAAAAAFEs/FGzkb9IAq0g/DSC01594_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-TlRaOVqFErg/TxeP5hPAXII/AAAAAAAAFE0/VmcdWY4VLOQ/s1600-h/DSC01595%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC01595" border="0" alt="DSC01595" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-CiqOiOEkM84/TxeP5z-AJtI/AAAAAAAAFE8/W2If22qdSnM/DSC01595_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-VuA5jL4ic24/TxeP6jV6CmI/AAAAAAAAFFE/75mjwBeqqu4/s1600-h/DSC01596%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC01596" border="0" alt="DSC01596" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-rU7hbJaHLqU/TxeP6-94UHI/AAAAAAAAFFM/fsCHi25mkic/DSC01596_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-9alvmmFiUwg/TxeP7kVwNKI/AAAAAAAAFFU/r5NcJIRIK4s/s1600-h/DSC01597%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC01597" border="0" alt="DSC01597" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-gUVN2dEl8Pg/TxeP7zUBRZI/AAAAAAAAFFc/_ZublQo6p_M/DSC01597_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-NBsQ4To5ROc/TxeP8mOCTLI/AAAAAAAAFFk/m_jyzcXR_7I/s1600-h/DSC01599%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC01599" border="0" alt="DSC01599" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-c5_L4ipdEmM/TxeP82Tv9QI/AAAAAAAAFFs/Z_hVLD3vEOw/DSC01599_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a></p> <p>A few of our centers were using nouns and adjectives to make complete Holly Jolly Sentences.

We used this story along with our Maize Way Character Trait: Self Discipline. It was a perfect story to teach the students about making and setting goals for themselves to become better at something or helping others with something. We then brainstormed a list of resolutions and made this cute art project and writing activity that we found online from A Cupcake from the Teacher.

This book was really fun to read. The students LOVED the illustrations and were amused by Santa’s transformations in the story. Thanks to Cara Carroll from First Grade Parade we made these “new and improved” Santa’s. They turned out very cute, but the kids were kind of funny…not sure they wanted to change up Santa!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-YyeBNa263tU/TumAjoZcPQI/AAAAAAAAFCA/YGpoVxX2Fmw/s1600-h/DSC01585%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01585" border="0" alt="DSC01585" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-6Vc4kJ-ise4/TumAjyiKXLI/AAAAAAAAFCI/CAt7tuXxVb0/DSC01585_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="212" height="307"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-pCORo7AnHG4/TumAkwTTnrI/AAAAAAAAFCQ/6qhxqSXtOyY/DSC01587%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01587" border="0" alt="DSC01587" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-fJKX1L_9VC4/TumAv4s4teI/AAAAAAAAFCY/a2qcyostobU/DSC01587_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="209" height="302"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-2Mievm3dLQI/TumAwONVFMI/AAAAAAAAFCg/gr5hiiOkKJA/s1600-h/DSC01578%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01578" border="0" alt="DSC01578" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-AMNfdWMUhGk/TumAwlszu0I/AAAAAAAAFCo/Yuy2uLzdF-g/DSC01578_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="206" height="298"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-OKtVOYs1nEc/TumAxkFg0GI/AAAAAAAAFCw/3kaa9caqKhA/s1600-h/DSC01581%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01581" border="0" alt="DSC01581" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-dXLJUacoja4/TumAyFC6_cI/AAAAAAAAFC0/gsXStDObmKQ/DSC01581_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="208" height="301"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-3BnSXsS0syk/TumAzCYRjNI/AAAAAAAAFDA/_5267dRfe6U/s1600-h/DSC01582%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01582" border="0" alt="DSC01582" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ItquYmAt5ng/TumAzvuECRI/AAAAAAAAFDI/AlCi3ct3LKQ/DSC01582_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="203" height="293"></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-pB-egDT0kCQ/TumA0JGkfdI/AAAAAAAAFDQ/1Ld-hBpYDAY/s1600-h/DSC01580%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01580" border="0" alt="DSC01580" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-tcvFEj0eEW8/TumA0l7pheI/AAAAAAAAFDY/HlNqX10vY-0/DSC01580_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="205" height="296"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-85tg03Sh06U/TumA1VBjEdI/AAAAAAAAFDg/PhOblQ8SxP0/s1600-h/DSC01583%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01583" border="0" alt="DSC01583" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-CPY46sa5Xz4/TumA2KRJzFI/AAAAAAAAFDo/X2EwQIAm-20/DSC01583_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="203" height="293"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-_VUC6mTKBtc/TumA2hZHrBI/AAAAAAAAFDw/7hQrndKgc8U/s1600-h/DSC01584%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01584" border="0" alt="DSC01584" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-c_CAZc1dGqI/TumA3Fl48hI/AAAAAAAAFD4/d_sXpSj6uTI/DSC01584_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="205" height="296"></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-UeolGnQvM5E/TumA4rwhWWI/AAAAAAAAFEA/c9ja79VC0y4/s1600-h/DSC01586%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01586" border="0" alt="DSC01586" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-MA7uHgiSEY0/TumA5DIBbFI/AAAAAAAAFEE/590OutK152U/DSC01586_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="198" height="286"></a> </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p align="center">Tomorrow we will wear our PJ’s and take a ride on <u>The Polar Express</u>! </p> Mrs. Schmelzerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15868334400446577847noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131108767715400263.post-80114744834877517672011-12-14T23:00:00.001-06:002011-12-14T23:00:29.621-06:00Remarkable Reindeer!<p align="center">We spent the past 2 days discussing Santa’s reindeer and learning facts about <u><strong>real</strong></u> reindeer.

I feel like I can’t keep up with everything lately! I should be baking, doing my Christmas cards, and wrapping presents, but this long overdue blog post has been on my mind and there are so many cute pictures to share! I decided to do this while I watch 2011’s Most Fascinating People on the Barbara Walter’s special…and I know how inspiring and fascinating the blog world has been for me! I have gotten so many neat ideas and have been fortunate to share what we do in our little classroom. Since Thanksgiving break we have been busy with gingerbread, reindeer, Christmas presents, and Santa.

Our centers this week were <u>Turkey Trot Sorting</u> Nouns and Verbs. <u>Turkey Ten Frame Race</u> using 2 ten frames and two sided counters to create a number sentence to race to 20. <u>Turkey Number Order</u>-using numbers to 75 and putting them in order from least to greatest. <u>Pilgrim Fact Families</u>-creating 2 addition sentences and 2 subtraction sentences using 3 numbers that belong in the Pilgrim “Fact” Family. <u>Turkey Sentence Scramble-</u>creating complete sentences by unscrambling the cards and then adding their own punctuation marks and capital letters. <u>Graphing Turkeys</u>-creating a bar graph then answering questions about the graph and adding sets of turkeys. <u>Turkey Telling and Asking Sentences</u>-reading sentences and writing them with capital letters and adding a period or question mark. <u>Turkey Turn Down</u>-rolling a number cube and using numbers 0-6 turning over 2 numbers that can add up to the sum of the number rolled on the cube and turning over the turkeys with those numbers. Students race against each other to see who can get their turkeys turned over first!</p> <p align="center"> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-b9TLQ2RqUiE/TsnTs_mixsI/AAAAAAAAEoA/TTle65Wc_nM/s1600-h/DSC01432%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01432" border="0" alt="DSC01432" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-bJSYUP1drD4/TsnTtJ3mzWI/AAAAAAAAEoI/Iidsx44b1kQ/DSC01432_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="314" height="217"></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-DOMOZxo1u3Y/TsnTtTlbHEI/AAAAAAAAEoQ/_6ESIjwyv1w/s1600-h/DSC01418%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01418" border="0" alt="DSC01418" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-knkl1Rzb80g/TsnTt15IOUI/AAAAAAAAEoY/jFwM4duZzH0/DSC01418_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="312" height="216"></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-YKyIMzQX6aU/TsnTuDvMwxI/AAAAAAAAEoc/dn7CGDYrup4/s1600-h/DSC01419%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01419" border="0" alt="DSC01419" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-B31nZGet2mk/TsnTunYvfhI/AAAAAAAAEok/6N1hQw7F13g/DSC01419_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="320" height="226"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-zpZqasAPwwU/TsnTu_HLp8I/AAAAAAAAEos/dDJ6DnYeioA/s1600-h/DSC01420%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01420" border="0" alt="DSC01420" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-BTAuEFnwnys/TsnTvneyNdI/AAAAAAAAEo4/GauV0PMkG2U/DSC01420_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="330" height="232"></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BiuS5_IO0YE/TsnTv9Jk22I/AAAAAAAAEpA/N2iHEi6keUw/s1600-h/DSC01421%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01421" border="0" alt="DSC01421" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-foBvaa1Tsj0/TsnTwZSBVoI/AAAAAAAAEpI/NizN_pe7xfA/DSC01421_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="318" height="220"></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-WgCjawEigs4/TsnTwv2hJcI/AAAAAAAAEpQ/O9-a8N3aEyE/s1600-h/DSC01422%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01422" border="0" alt="DSC01422" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-oZIBvF8K1Dw/TsnTxGPCogI/AAAAAAAAEpY/PeKj8uH7uRI/DSC01422_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="332" height="230"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-bLsRzIrTp3A/TsnTxfC9DaI/AAAAAAAAEpg/qdJk7VrBQBk/s1600-h/DSC01430%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01430" border="0" alt="DSC01430" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-vL3Ohck94Kk/TsnTx_YUhBI/AAAAAAAAEpo/emJ_ljLbBaw/DSC01430_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="325" height="225"></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-awQipm6rXng/TsnTyUvjvZI/AAAAAAAAEpw/ARnfCNPcHDU/s1600-h/DSC01431%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01431" border="0" alt="DSC01431" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-oPNRm9pk9J8/TsnTy4hQG7I/AAAAAAAAEp4/SHtObZkb0H4/DSC01431_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="327" height="226"></a> </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p align="center">We took a ride on the Mayflower after sequencing the events of the Pilgrims voyage we made these Mayflowers with the pictures and story events. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-LM9TsJm_hHo/TsnTzMkm0RI/AAAAAAAAEqA/pt90-w0uT0Q/s1600-h/DSC01423%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01423" border="0" alt="DSC01423" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-RLCxsCVZXBA/TsnTzV_tzII/AAAAAAAAEqE/z2OHXDa0lDA/DSC01423_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="680" height="474"></a> </p> <p align="center">We read several stories about the life of a pilgrim and compared them to how we celebrate Thanksgiving today.

I had the students each bring a picture of their family on a trip. They wrote stories by answering the following questions:</p> <p align="center">Where did you go on your trip? How did you get there? What did you see on your trip? What did you do on your trip? Did you go and visit anyone special? Would you like to go to the same place again? Why or why not? How did you feel about your trip?</p> <p align="center">They did a FANTASTIC job putting all these elements in their stories! It was fun to listen to their stories about going to Disney World, New Orleans, Houston, Branson, South Padre, Florida, Texas, Sea World, Colorado, the beach, Yugoslavia, KU football game, grandma’s house, etc…Here are a few samples of their writing and how proud they were:</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-xApMr3CwKx8/TsCFVMEQ90I/AAAAAAAAEl4/ULZHwLZE4m8/s1600-h/DSC01409%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01409" border="0" alt="DSC01409" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-oSh6EcgXamY/TsCFVmC2kvI/AAAAAAAAEmA/5Jh68llVKic/DSC01409_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="328" height="453"></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-QO4cdHzO-SY/TsCFV-m6SqI/AAAAAAAAEmI/Oo4QdmBexp0/s1600-h/DSC01402%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01402" border="0" alt="DSC01402" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-73YMcvQEKSg/TsCFWMQYKGI/AAAAAAAAEmQ/hv0rJIrtog4/DSC01402_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="335" height="470"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-IeNvPuWGrn4/TsCFW9sgqaI/AAAAAAAAEmY/HiC3s0Iwzvs/s1600-h/DSC01403%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01403" border="0" alt="DSC01403" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-0lu7Sq0iwPQ/TsCFXCPwTmI/AAAAAAAAEmc/o5mQ8ENCvUw/DSC01403_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="315" height="457"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-QLsdMeQPOMI/TsCFXRYi7NI/AAAAAAAAEmo/lfgNy6ehMPQ/s1600-h/DSC01404%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01404" border="0" alt="DSC01404" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CWz3vVDCVgw/TsCFXy-xgrI/AAAAAAAAEmw/-yAMN1Lkbsk/DSC01404_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="321" height="465"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-nhWEaJeiHKY/TsCFYABPY2I/AAAAAAAAEm4/CZxgiETmQOY/s1600-h/DSC01406%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01406" border="0" alt="DSC01406" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-O98c2aL-Pgc/TsCFYbr212I/AAAAAAAAEnA/X8AHSgFb-z0/DSC01406_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="320" height="464"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-eXnmOQNT3TU/TsCFYz18gPI/AAAAAAAAEnI/Xi9h4q2YfO4/s1600-h/DSC01407%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01407" border="0" alt="DSC01407" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-i8vzldMuJd4/TsCFZN6M8zI/AAAAAAAAEnQ/iNyTGlyqfx8/DSC01407_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="330" height="478"></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-rleU1BCfREY/TsCFZsjeldI/AAAAAAAAEnY/GSy_EagRbCg/s1600-h/DSC01405%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01405" border="0" alt="DSC01405" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ETYuDJEqRUk/TsCFaZXF4-I/AAAAAAAAEng/HSqd2iXqfN4/DSC01405_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="313" height="453"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-DvOVOYTChN8/TsCFazYL9lI/AAAAAAAAEno/sze-A36VwJc/s1600-h/DSC01408%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01408" border="0" alt="DSC01408" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-UnlHWqeokR4/TsCFbIGSDFI/AAAAAAAAEnw/izbVoNN5_c0/DSC01408_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="322" height="466"></a></p> Mrs. Schmelzerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15868334400446577847noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131108767715400263.post-16014943382443935312011-11-13T20:26:00.001-06:002011-11-13T20:26:57.748-06:00Native Americans<p align="center">Learning about the First Thanksgiving and the impact that our Native American friends had on the First Thanksgiving was our focus this past week.

They were very touched on how the girl gave up her only possession and burned her doll as an offering for her people. We then made a class book about our favorite possessions. On Monday we are going to finish up our unit and make some Indian Paintbrushes! </p> <p align="center"><font size="6">Centers:</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3">I was not very good about taking pictures at center time this week. I was short my parent helpers so I only got a few pictures. A few skills we worked on were sorting feathers after adding and subtracting facts and matching them to the correct Native American. Sorting Tee Pees, Dream Catchers, and Arrows by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s. They did a center called Ten Little Indians and used number words, sight words, adjectives, and verbs to make complete sentences. They also did a real/nonsense word sort, Thanksgiving Addition Game, Thanksgiving Sentence Scramble, and Thanksgiving ABC order. As always they worked hard at centers and enjoyed having new partners this week! </font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-rvt3y19j5wU/TsB8ZMBY48I/AAAAAAAAEkk/AKG9x9k4Xyo/s1600-h/DSC01392%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01392" border="0" alt="DSC01392" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ePYX2cLN2Ok/TsB8ZuRnUiI/AAAAAAAAEks/4T7e4UjxMVw/DSC01392_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="325" height="229"></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-xdEs8FQOsSY/TsB8Zz7KxkI/AAAAAAAAEk0/ej27TFd4bBA/s1600-h/DSC01388%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01388" border="0" alt="DSC01388" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-TJhC0YpwLv8/TsB8aZ4ntZI/AAAAAAAAEk8/mQSnwy6AE9w/DSC01388_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="314" height="217"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-02rTNPgNjzY/TsB8a60Mn7I/AAAAAAAAElE/iRAjVbV91dQ/s1600-h/DSC01389%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01389" border="0" alt="DSC01389" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-4ZffYh6gy2E/TsB8bd0s9vI/AAAAAAAAElM/hs689oNc04E/DSC01389_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="321" height="226"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-g5nuJicyy98/TsB8b46Ir1I/AAAAAAAAElU/V4CwCSR38kU/s1600-h/DSC01390%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSC01390" border="0" alt="DSC01390" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-CjBgTtSqUE4/TsB8cDvr5GI/AAAAAAAAElc/jibmlmY9R70/DSC01390_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="342" height="236"></a> </p> <p align="center"><font size="6">Turkeys are next!

They couldn’t have been happier on Friday when they got to make ice cream!! </p> <p align="center">We worked in a lot on nouns, verbs, and adjectives this week with our scarecrows. They enjoyed describing their scarecrows and doing the sentence wheel and writing their super sentences. We brainstormed as many adjectives as we could to describe the scarecrows. We read these books: <u>The Shy Scarecrow</u>, <u>The Shy Scarecrow Goes to School</u>, <u>The Littlest Scarecrow</u>, and <u>The Lazy Scarecrow</u> to get them thinking about adjectives.

Thanks to Cara at The First Grade Parade for sharing her idea on how to make ice cream and for inspiring us to make it! We also used her fact an opinion page for a skill using ice cream.The kids were sooooo excited!! We also did some problem solving with double scoops of ice cream and triple scoops. While we were making our ice cream they played a game working with suffix endings and ice cream scoops.</p> <p> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-PjwXdXW8q9U/TsB09woZD2I/AAAAAAAAEcc/QBRC6uiUZX0/s1600-h/DSC01373%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;

At Candy Corn Word Building they had to try and use each of the short vowels in words to see what new words they could build. Example: if they had t_n they tried each vowel and recorded their new words: tan, ten, tin. At the Candy Corn Sentence Scramble they made sentences by unscrambling the candy corn and added punctuation marks and capital letters. Jolly Pumpkin Number Order they put number sets in order from least to greatest. At Jolly Pumpkin ABC Order they put 3 groups of 6 sight words in abc order. Pumpkin Vowel patch gave the kids the opportunity to make 5 short a, e, i, o, an u words using beginning and ending sounds on letter tiles. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-eEC9fVJGSG8/Tqt7Uj86OnI/AAAAAAAAEMM/Q9mYNYa6tDA/s1600-h/pumpkins%252520and%252520candy%252520corn%25255B6%25255D.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="pumpkins and candy corn" border="0" alt="pumpkins and candy corn" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-6JzgEoWZiXY/Tqt7VVYkNvI/AAAAAAAAEMU/EgQCQ-dfqYs/pumpkins%252520and%252520candy%252520corn_thumb%25255B4%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="692" height="468"></a> </p> <p align="center">At the Sweet Treats center they had to sort math facts on the candy corn with the trick or treater that had the correct sum. At Eating Candy Corn they solved subtraction facts. They also made cute Jolly Jacks using a 3x3 grid. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-KJRC7mWw9S8/Tqt7VyI0XgI/AAAAAAAAEMc/8oUbIH3j6DE/s1600-h/pumpkins%252520and%252520candy%252520corn.png2%25255B5%25255D.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="pumpkins and candy corn.png2" border="0" alt="pumpkins and candy corn.png2" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-sIvTVe7zHuU/Tqt7WqOHpOI/AAAAAAAAEMk/MtN8_59XJB4/pumpkins%252520and%252520candy%252520corn.png2_thumb%25255B3%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="699" height="469"></a> </p> <p align="center">There were several other activities we worked on with pumpkins: Pumpkin Farmer, Pumpkin Farmer book showing life cycle of a pumpkin, Candy Corn Man art project, Candy Corn Fact Families flip chart, Silly Pumpkin stories, and much more…but I was not there to take the pics and blog about it…but I did leave very detailed plans and they followed through and made it without me for 7 days! I was VERY lucky to take a vacation with my husband to Hawaii!!! He had to go there for a work conference and so he took me a long with him. It was so relaxing (once I got 7 days of lesson plans done!) and beautiful there. Here is a look at the resort that I got to relax by the pool and read and not worry about anything because my sub was awesome and did a great job while I was away! We got back yesterday, but it already seems like a distant memory after being at work and catching up on all that I missed! It was good to see the kids. They greeted me with huge smiles, hugs, and cute welcome back cards today! </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-K1nnHIRDIwA/Tqt7XNjp8FI/AAAAAAAAEMs/KcJrlbQWIM8/s1600-h/hawaii%252520pic%25255B6%25255D.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="hawaii pic" border="0" alt="hawaii pic" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-7jeDVbmHd74/Tqt7X3CXaRI/AAAAAAAAEM0/ZkUk3VWhWRc/hawaii%252520pic_thumb%25255B4%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="702" height="663"></a> </p> <p align="center">When I returned to the “real” world again today we finished up the bat theme and made these cute art projects.

Students rolled 2 dice and added spots to the fire dog to match the number on the dice then wrote a number sentence to go with it. We had a center called Short Vowel Word Ladders. Students sorted pictures onto the fire ladders using the correct vowel sound and then sound spelled each of the words. At Fire Dog Counting they put fire hydrants, fire badges, and fire extinguishers in order counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s. The listening center was <u>Clifford the Firehouse Dog</u>. Students then made a Clifford puppet with the fire safety rule of stop, drop, and roll written on it. They had to solve a “3 Alarm Fire” by organizing 3 numbers in order from least to greatest. Our writing center was making complete sentences about fire safety rules.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-AJRvM0FXBew/TpuRn_m9BPI/AAAAAAAAEKY/jHHmsvOhtew/s1600-h/fire%252520safety%252520literature%25255B5%25255D.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="fire safety literature" border="0" alt="fire safety literature" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-3njCMdRr4lA/TpuRouB-M5I/AAAAAAAAEKg/ZM0p1wW2eDA/fire%252520safety%252520literature_thumb%25255B3%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="713" height="499"></a> </p> <p align="center">We used lots of literature to learn more about being “Smoke Detectives” and our fire safety rules.

The Wichita State Shocker Softball team has picked our class to be pen pals with this year. They are doing this for community service and we LOVED having them come to visit. They wrote each of the students letters to introduce themselves and even brought some treats for the kids. We got to have an extra play time when we went outside to get to know our new friends. We will write letters back and forth this year and when they come and visit again we will read to them. We can’t wait to have them visit our classroom soon! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-VYfOwJyxg3k/TpJlMBslKyI/AAAAAAAAEJI/_k7F2ltNRd0/s1600-h/WSUPenPalsvisit16.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="WSU Pen Pals visit 1" border="0" alt="WSU Pen Pals visit 1" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-7yLi06ILgow/TpJlM6Wx25I/AAAAAAAAEJM/F5iGReDcaic/WSUPenPalsvisit1_thumb4.png?imgmax=800" width="705" height="484"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ZxiAN6BKmE4/TpJlNfmfO_I/AAAAAAAAEJQ/dVZ1bO35FHY/s1600-h/WSUvisit14.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="WSU visit 1" border="0" alt="WSU visit 1" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-r_BI1CmY8Y0/TpJlNxbvphI/AAAAAAAAEJU/KBL339anT_o/WSUvisit1_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" width="706" height="295"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-wK6Mx-rPQNU/TpJlOpU55MI/AAAAAAAAEJY/AYoN1VO_ZEM/s1600-h/PenPalsvisit14.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="PenPals visit 1" border="0" alt="PenPals visit 1" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-FZcc4kc0iSI/TpJlPTLf_uI/AAAAAAAAEJc/aIEk5jO0MK0/PenPalsvisit1_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" width="720" height="439"></a></p> Mrs. Schmelzerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15868334400446577847noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131108767715400263.post-64784076079831523222011-10-02T22:24:00.001-05:002011-10-02T22:24:37.320-05:00Fabulous Fall!<p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-AEGnWiO4mso/Tokq0_TDwfI/AAAAAAAAEHg/UXwLPCsbjr0/s1600-h/fall%25255B4%25255D.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="fall" border="0" alt="fall" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-e_qyVMDLB2k/Tokq1d1GkGI/AAAAAAAAEHk/S6oilKaNmso/fall_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="688" height="473"></a> </p> <p align="center">We had some beautiful fall days this past week. We are finally starting to have some crisp mornings. We enjoyed learning about the many different types of leaves, why leaves change color, and we talked about the different attributes of leaves. All of our centers were fall related. We sorted math facts and matched them up with the tree that showed the sums. We created short a, i, and short o words using letter tiles. They put fall words in ABC order then did a fall fill in making complete sentences. At one center they did leaf sorting and graphed the leaves then did some addition problems by joining sets of leaves. At listening center they listened to <u>Clifford’s First Fall</u> and then got to play a sight word game called “Leaf Blower”.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-5DftlOsmkSw/Tokq16ABiTI/AAAAAAAAEHo/HE6Z5BazcnI/s1600-h/DSC01168%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;

They worked on finding the missing letters of the alphabet on the apple task cards. They worked on writing complete sentences about apples and writing them with correct mechanics. They did apple sorting, counting, and graphing. They had to sort apples into rhyming and not rhyming words. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-k3omfXRXiAw/Tn6bZbzkjFI/AAAAAAAAEGg/wQF3XBxF04w/s1600-h/apple%252520center%2525201%25255B4%25255D.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="apple center 1" border="0" alt="apple center 1" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-4y6efsZffyc/Tn6dJAcBqKI/AAAAAAAAEGk/ibIV_MD4sLk/apple%252520center%2525201_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="652" height="415"></a> </p> <p align="center">At these centers they worked on adding apple seeds and writing addition sentences. They organized apples with numbers to 25 from least to greatest. They used short a word families to make real or “rotten” (nonsense) words. And they loved the Wild Apple Sight Word game where they had to read the sight words correctly on the apple cards. If they drew an apple with a worm in it they lost all their apples.</p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-sJEYMwXZ2H8/Tn6dpkUEliI/AAAAAAAAEGo/N47saKrNSu0/s1600-h/apple%252520center%2525202%25255B4%25255D.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="apple center 2" border="0" alt="apple center 2" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-3-urfymxZZ4/Tn6du0kRleI/AAAAAAAAEGs/iDTpW_SJCBY/apple%252520center%2525202_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="696" height="443"></a> </p> <p align="center">A favorite book we read was <u>Ten Apples Up On Top</u> that we did several activities with using math combinations. We used each of the characters from the story to make combinations of 5. Then we got to solve math problems with the power point using each of the kids pictures and apples up on top of their heads. Then they each got a book with all of the students pictures in it. They rolled a red die and a green die and added red and green apples up on top and wrote the number sentence to go with the picture. They LOVED seeing their pictures in the power point and the book!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-EO0zwxau148/Tn6dwto-WdI/AAAAAAAAEGw/EwYiZ7iamKc/s1600-h/apples%252520up%252520on%252520top%25255B4%25255D.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="apples up on top" border="0" alt="apples up on top" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-IWcOvZ5-S5w/Tn6dyS7R1vI/AAAAAAAAEG0/R-DUs_tFaUo/apples%252520up%252520on%252520top_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="701" height="446"></a> </p> <p align="center">We finished up the week with the legend of Johnny Appleseed.
