Yesterday wasn't even that crazy of a day, I guess I just need to try a little harder to make this a priority!
Anywho, very excited today for my new book that just came in the mail ... "Back to School Tortoise" By: Lucy M. George to use on my 1st day of school. I got this idea from another 1st grade blog that I will search for a little later. It is so super cute, and I can't wait to start making little clues to lead the class on tour of the school. I will be sure to post pictures. All I need now is a large stuffed animal turtle, lol.
I wanted to give a little credibility to my 'self-proclaimed creativity'... truth is, I LOVE to go the extra mile to show my kids off and the things that we create together. So here is a few things from this past semester.
Here is my 1st bulletin board of 2012: we used pipe cleaners on the hat and I bought the kids those noise makers from the Dollar Tree to add to their faces. Also on their hat, after learning about 'resolutions and goals' they wrote what their goals were for the end of the year
A little while later we changed it up after learning about the Chinese New Years and we made these awesome colorful dragons and the kids also made those lanterns in art class that we added.
Here I am... Ta-Da!! Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was in San Antonio building a home for the upcoming Christmas special. My kids and I collected snacks and goodies for all of the volunteers and builders. This was such neat experience and we opened it up for the school to help out too.
Here is me and Hubby helping out!
Here is the final outcome of our goods/services unit. We started with choosing our own goods or service. Then they had to complete a building proposal to earn their 'Building Permit'. Once they received that, then they were began to build their business and we learned about trading, and bartering, ect. We ended with having an 'open house' where we invited parents and admin to come visit our AcevesVille, read our Adds, sign our guestbook ect... It was great.
My class was... obsessed... to say the least, about learning about Venus Fly Traps, so heres the ones we made. We had a fly catching game that kept the kids entertained for quite some time.
100th day door!
That's all for now. My mini-me is awake and is not quite as fond of blogging as I am. BUT I will be back mannana... God Willing :)
Happy Thursday... Day 3...CHECK!
