First Grade Resume

We are in the final countdown!  Woohoo!  On the last day of school, we have a move up day and our kinders get to meet their first grade teachers.  I used to have them write a letter to their teacher. Now I am a bit more creative, and they bring a resume!  Here is the one I made to use this year.

Mother's Day gift using wordle

I had made one of these wordles and set it up with scrapbooking paper in a shadow box for my kitchen that used family words and places we've been.  I received so many positive comments on it, that I made two more for Mother's Day gifts using the words my daughters came up with for their grandmother's.  They came out cute!

May Office Work - Clocks

During the month of May, we focus on time to the hour.  In the student's morning offices, I add the small Judy clocks and have the children show me a time on their clocks.  I'm going to add this to the office work so they can show me the time, and write it down as well.

CVC Puzzles

This week my students will be putting together CVC puzzles like these.

I wanted them to have a recording sheet to go along with it, so here it is.

March - Vet Center

Each month we change our dress up center based on a different theme.  This month is the Vet center.  We use stuffed animals, leashes, bowls, X-rays, brushes, etc.  This is the sheet I made up for the students to fill out on their patient. (pictures on Animal Antics Art CD by DJ Inkers)

Here are a few photos of the center:

Shamrock Money Center

Today I made some centers with shamrocks I cut from the Cricut. Here is the first!

 I used money stickers from Smile Makers.  

Then I made the record sheet to go with it.

And here is the I can chart.

Valentines

My daughter and I just finished our Pinterest inspired Valentines.

Madison's third grade Valentines read, "I am glad you are in my school.  Happy Valentine's Day!"

I make crayon hearts for my class every year with the saying, "You color my world."  This year I also got little notebooks from Walmart to go with them.
