Product Swap with Teacher to the Core

I was also paired with Katie Knight over at Teacher to the Core.

Here is her wonderful blog!!!






Katie has a wonderful unit on Ecology that will teach kids all about the Earth and how to take care of it.  It is called Easy Ecology: Common Core Informational Text, Test, Art, and More for Earth Day.  The kids will get to be "Planet Protectors".  My kids were so engaged with this unit and really learned how to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Here are a few highlights from the unit!!!


Student Mini Book-  This mini book features all the vocabulary that goes hand in hand with ecology.  We learned big words such as conserve, ecology, reduce, ruse, and recycle.  This is an interactive mini book so the students were able to complete it as we learned about ecology and Earth.

Ecology Tree Map- We used this to record ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

  Helping/Hurting the Earth Quiz-  After we learned all about Ecology.  We took a fun quiz about things that help the Earth and things that hurt the Earth.  Here is a sample of the 12 questions that the students were asked.  They recorded their answers on the recording sheet.       Earth Day Word Work- We had a lot of fun practicing our weekly spelling words by writing them in pencil, pen, and marker.     Earth Day Craftivities-  We love craftivities in my room.  I had half of the students tell about redusing electricity and the other half told about reducing water.  Here are some samples below.  They loved it!!!             Planet Protector Certificate- At the end of the unit they were rewarded these and they were overjoyed.       I just loved Katie's Unit.  And my kids did too!!!   You can find it here on TPT!!!

Let's Get Acquainted!!!!

It's that time again...

 

Let's Get Acquainted!!!!

 

 

 

Topic: My Classroom

We spend so much time in our classrooms.  It can be like a second home.  We will get acquainted today by sharing three(3) of our favorite areas in our classrooms.

 

1. Word Wall of fame

When you enter my room this is probably the first thing you will notice.  I have a movie star/popcorn theme.  I took this picture at the beginning of the year.  I do have words on there now. lol
 

2. Birthday Board

 

I love my birthday board.  I found these bags at Publix and got yellow tissue paper to put inside.  I have the names of the students on the bags for their birth month. I made the month labels myself.  When I started on TPT I only was doing the decorative items for the Hollywood theme.  I am so happy that I ventured into making units and such.

 

3. My Door

 

I love my Hollywood themed door.  I have gotten a lot of compliments on it.  I was at the school working so hard at the beginning of the year.

Issy Books Set for Emergent Readers

Hi Everyone!!!

 

 I was very fortunate to get a free book series to try out with my class!!!
It is called Issy Books for Emergent Readers!!!
It is a great set!!!  It came with the cutest little tote to carry your books in.

I have been using these books with my firsties and they love them.  They think it is so cool that a student around their age illustrated these books. 

I love how the books are just right for my students.  There are words that we are learning that they get to practice when they read one of these books.  They have been great in our reading center and during guided reading practice.  My kiddos love the animals.

My personal favorite is Jimmy the Giraffe.  It is such a cute story that helps students accept things about themselves.  They also realize that everyone is different but it is ok to be.

Here is a picture of the author and the illustrator. Click on their picture to read their bios.
