Fun Friday

What does this look like to you???

A big mess...??? Yes (you can't see the floor) but NOPE!

If you said creativity in action... YES!! My kiddo's don't get near enough time to just be creative!  I try and keep any big scraps of paper that may be able to be used for something else - so, on Friday I pulled it down and set out scissors and glue and let them go to town.

I was so impressed with what they came up with I had to find a bulletin board to display them.  They were so proud of their creations.  The only thing I required of them to be able to display their creation was they had to write about it!  I never saw pencils move so fast!!! :)

"The earrings are so cute."

"My ant is looking for food."

I can't read this one but she is one of my better writers so I know it is cute.  :)

I will have to do this more often with them.  You can really see that they used some of the techniques I have taught them during our guided art lessons.  :)

Triceratops

Today we made the cutest triceratops from Deanna Jumps Dinosaur unit!  Tomorrow we are going to do some writing about what we have learned about triceratops!  Of course we need some cute paper to match our cute triceratops!!  :)  I will post pics of the finished product!!  Click the picture below! :)

1 more day till SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!! :)

Snowmen at Night

This is one of my all time favorite books!!  We have read it everyday this week!!  Today we brainstormed what else snowmen could do at night.  They alway surprise me at how creative they can be!!

Remember those super cute snowmen the children made on Tuesday???   Well, they used them today to write and illustrate what their snowman would do at night!  I used the writing prompt from Deanna Jumps Snowman Unit.  Again, it is amazing what they can do when they are given a little creative freedom!!

My snowman eats pizza at night.

My snowman colors the color books at night.

My snowman makes snow angels at night.

My snowman jumps rope at night.

My snowman plays hopscotch at night.

My snowman throws snowballs at night.

(Recognize that snowman?? )  :)

 

This week we have also worked on a How to Build a Snowman Book.  This idea came from Deanna Jumps Snowman Unit but I tweaked it just a little to differentiate it for my students and also created a rubric for the different levels.  I will try and post it tomorrow.

Night to all - TGIF...almost!! :)
