Thanks goodness it is the weekend!!!! Lot's of things calling my name.....Long Vowel flip chart, long vowel word highlighter pages for word work, Fast Phrases to get ready & get Leap School Tag readers ready all by Monday...plus laundry & the infamous grocery shopping (that may wait till Monday). I think I want to catch up on some Tivo & In Touch & Nicholas Sparks on the NOOK tomorrow!!!!
So yesterday I started Sci-Fri (Science Friday). Every Friday before our Science lesson, I will do an experiment with the students & they will record their hypothesis & conclusion. Got this great idea from another blog (can't take full credit). The students also have a 3 prong folder which is their Sci-Fri Journal. This weeks experiment was Dancing Raisins!!!! Boy the excitement!!!! I love Science.

We read
Fancy Nancy Splendid Speller, talks about not looking on other people's papers & taking your time. Beginning of a new semester, they need to be reminded. So now every Friday they can wear their slippers while taking their Spelling, Fundations & Words their Way tests. They put them on before their test & keep their regular shoes under their desk until we are done & then the slippers go back in their bookbag. It is a big hit!!!!
Lastly on our busy Friday, we made snow globes. They turned out very pretty. All you need is a white circle, black trapezoid, blue water color paint, glue & glitter. Students draw a snow related picture...you can color in with white b/c when you paint with blue it shows up. Take blue water color paint & paint over their snowglobe. When it is dry they put glue dots & sprinkle silver glitter. And then Whala.....you have snowglobes.......it may be the closest thing we get to snow this winter but I am NOT complaining!!!!!
I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!!!! I am excited about next weekend.....we have Groundhog Day & the 100th Day of School & we are starting learning about Inferencing. Plus I get to wear my 100 Day shirt, where I got the idea from Pinterest!!!!! Come back next week for some more fun learning experiences.
