Bling in the new year!

I went with a bling theme this January to have the students tell me their new year's resolution! Here are some cute ones and a picture of the door!

Fables with main idea and details

Earlier I googled books to teach main idea and ran across this book of fables. It is a great book because most of the time we don't use those in the classroom. My kids loved the book and could easily pick out the main ideas and details. We used a big post it note to write the main idea and the small post it notes for the details. My firsties love post it notes!

Slacker city...

I'm so sorry I have been missing! This masters stuff is taking all of my time! We did dress up for book character day! I had one of the kiddos take my picture with my teacher friend Randi. She was viola swamp and I was fancy nancy! A couple days later one of my sweet little ones drew a picture of me as fancy nancy. It is by far one of my favorite drawings that a kiddo has done!

Shaving cream snowmen

I saw the cutest idea from pinterest that I decided to make with my firsties this year! You mix half shaving cream and half glue to make a a sticky mess :) we allllll love those! Give a glob to each kiddo on a piece of construction paper and let them make a snowman. It has to dry for a bit but the end results were cute! After they dried' i let the kids add to it but you could probably do it before it dried as well. Here are some of our snow people.

Snowman ornaments

These little cuties were basically free! I got paint sample colors from the store. The kids drew a face and cut out a hat. Then they glued "buttons" on them. I saw this idea from pinterest. Add some ribbon and Taaa Daaaaa! Easy! There are so many options you can do! Here are some pictures from today's snowmen! Tomorrow we tackle Christmas trees.

Holiday Decorations

This past month has been so crazy! I am hoping after this week I will be able to post all the cute things we have been doing in the room. Finishing this semester of my masters can't come soon enough :) here are a few phone pictures of our holiday decorations. As soon as we get our ornaments made, I'll post another picture of it decorated!
