This was a fun activity to work on for sight word recognition. Make a sheet of various sight words and coordinate dot stickers with the same sight word . As you call out the sight word , the students will find the sticker , then locate on their paper and cover up the word with the sticker.
This was a bit of a learning curve .. for my own little one I gave her the whole sticker sheet and that was way to difficult to try to find the word. For my class , I decided to do it in stages with one strip of stickers at a time. That worked so much better!
What better doll to start with on our new doll lineup then McKenna Brooks. She is from Seattle , Washington and dreams of being a gold medalist on the Olympic team . She loves gymnastics but really struggles with reading . As her story unfolds , she is teamed up with a tutor, Josie. As her friendship develops with Josie, we see McKenna grow in maturity and we see how they both help each other in their friendship .. so good! . We also learned about the history of the Olympics and gymnastics. . We added our sticker to Washington State for the geography of where Mckenna lived . . Our craft for Mckenna was a balance beam for our dolls. This was such a fun project ! We started by wrapping the beams in colorful duct tape. Some of the students decided to leave them unwrapped so their friends could sign them. The students also had the opportunity to hammer their legs onto their balance beam.Thankfully no one hammered their fingers .
. Our Tea party was the highlight! We had Oreo cookie medallions .. Yumm! And Cheeto torches made out of icecream cones. So cute!
.
And we had lots of opportunities to shop! The students earned class money from doing homework pages . I have attached them below ⬇️
Who says learning sightwords can’t be fun? With some stamps and @playdoh , we had a great time stamping our sightwords. . Bringing activities like this into teaching makes learning fun for both student and teacher❤️
Teaching time is so much fun with @lego @legoeducation ⭐️ . They are the perfect size math manipulative and are a great way to teach the students there are 60 minutes in 1 hour.
I set the clocks to different times and had the students tell me the time displayed. I then had the students set the times I called out. It was a great way to practice reading clocks and it was super easy to implement ⏱Double win!!
Happy PI Day ⭐️ . Such a fun day to celebrate math,especially when it falls on one of our coop days ⭐️ . The elementary students had fun learning about PI with oreo cookies and the jr/sr high learned with pies.. Yumm!! . Our family gets to finish the day off with pizza 🍕 for dinner ⭐️ . Who knew learning math could be so delicious ⭐️⭐️⭐️ . Do you have a special way of celebrating PI day? If so , share below ⬇️
We made these adorable Frankensteins for our Fall party this past week 🍁 . How cute are these??? . The littles each had their own dice to roll and as they rolled their number it determined what to glue onto their Frankenstein
. This was the perfect game for the party .It was so fun to see how they all made their Frankensteins their own by putting the hair up to be spiked or the scar on the cheek .. they had fun being creative and they were all unique
. I found this cute idea from @housingaforest ❤️She has lots of other fun ideas on her website including this one
Leaf Graphing 🍁 . We had so much fun doing this! The littles were able to get outside and search for leaves 🍃 The colors this time of year are so beautiful! They found leaves of all shapes and sizes which added to the fun
. We then went in and dried them off and then sorted them.
. It was a fun way to enjoy the season as we did math 🍁
. The free printable is from @lifeovercs so head over there and check them out ❤️
