What We've Been Doing...

Ok folks...I will be honest.  I am behind.  ...so very, very behind.  I have a list that is a million miles long and so I haven't been sharing a lot lately simply because I am trying to remember all the things on the list. 
(insert nervous laugh)
But I thought I would share real quick some of the things I have gotten around to doing in my classroom.
 Snowmen used for -er and -est adjectives.

 Torn Paper Snowmen from Pinterest.

 Ringing in the New Year with a project from A Cupcake for the Teacher.

For 100th Day...we made a banner that says "I'm 100 Days Smarter!"
The banner pieces are hot glued to ribbon.
 Our Signs...from Walmart $1 section tied together with ribbon so they would hang.

 We made 100 Day Crowns
 ...and illustrated what we would like look when we are 100.



I have a new pack that should be a lot of fun..so stay tuned!
By the way, tomorrow is Friday!!

  1. I will have to check out the WalMart here to see if the 100 sign is available. Your room looks like an exciting place to be!
    Just wanted to invite you to see how far reaching your ideas are. I teach in Alberta, Canada (where blizzards are more natural in January than tornadoes), and this week my combined Grade 2/3 class used your inspiration in making snow glyphs. Come and see:

  7. Oh my goodness! I love the "I will be a dead guy." paper! I bet that little sweetie keeps you on your toes! Who taught him to make x's for a dead person's eyes?! I am loving that torn paper snowman - I am going to search for it now!

  11. I am so very behind on my list as well...probably because I have been spending way too much time on blogger!

  12. Clearly I need to go to Walmart because I had no idea they had $1 section. Target is across the street so I never venture over to Walmart come to think of it I think the closest one might be 15 minutes away which is probably why. I love all your 100th day activities! Your kids writing is too cute!
