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.

Sentence Matching

Building off of CVC matches, we are having our children reading simple sentences and showing their comprehension by matching the picture cards.  These are great for language workstations.  Let us know if you like them and we'll work on more! (Graphics by DJ Inkers Animal Antics)

Domino Addition Book

I made this to go along with our Every Day Calendar Counts program.  The students follow the teacher to color in their book.  For example, I have the students get two crayons.  I tell them to choose 1 color and color zero circles. We write 0 on the first blanks.  They put down that crayon and pick up the other color and color the center circle.  Then we write the rest of the number sentence.  Last we tell number stories that match the story.  We had 0 cats.  Then we went to the store and got one cat.  How many cats do we have now?  We continue up to 8 and 1.
