Saturday Snippets: 04/26/1

Morning Ladies and Gents,

I am feeling a little under the weather, so this post will be mostly pictures of what went on this week with my students.

We started the week with some Earth day learning. 

Kids made sure to make a big ol mess.

The kinder kids went on to finish up our farms unti with pigs, cows and ducks. 

That's all people. 

I'll make sure to share how it all came together on my Theme Thursday for Farms. 

Before I go, just wanted to say congrats to the winner of the Shout-Outs pack, Michelle.

Peek at my Week: Lesson Plans 04/21/14

Hi everyone,

It is that time again...

Another short week for me... :(
This week on Thursday The Kindergarteners are going to Aksarban Aquarium. It will be an all day trip so my First graders will also miss ELL classes, as I will be on the trip, and not in school to have class. Boo. Friday is an elementary plan day for my district.

Not gonna lie, this week is going to be a struggle for me. It will be the 3rd week in a row that the Kindergartners have a 3 day week. Don't misunderstand, we haven't been having a tons of days off, we have been taking tons of field trips. While these maybe enjoyable, and while the kids are learning some, I struggle missing 6 days of instruction.

This week my Kinder kids will be week 3 of long vowels and we will cover long Oo. My students and I are liking the resources that I have been using so I will continue.

Because I have been having such short weeks I have been struggling to get through our farm unit. Part of me wants to scrap it and move on to Earth Day. Then the other side of me really wants my kids to have time learning this unit. It is one they always enjoy. My plan is to continue and FINISH the farm unit this week, however I reserve the right to come back on here mid week and tell you that I've switched gears. :/

My first grade ELL students are going to be working on silent or "ghost" letters this week, kn, gn and wr. There isn't much out there for these silent letters so we will make Ghosts for each and write and sort the words into each. I will post pics for you all to see.

We will continue our Plant theme with some bunny fun at the end of the week.
