It's Friday again and you know what that means! #5ForFriday
Here's a snapshot of my week.
1. Dr. Seuss Projects
My co-teacher and I decided to do Dr. Seuss stuff this week. Each year I have the kiddos do a project about their favorite Dr. Seuss book and bring it in and share it with the class. I will say that Pinterest provided more edible projects this year than normal.
I think they turned out great! |
2. The forecast for Monday night/Tuesday morning was supposed to produce snow...I was hoping for a 2hr delay...no such luck. Well, the forecast for Tuesday night/Wednesday morning said about the same thing but a little worse. Tuesday afternoon on my way home I got caught in the beginning of the flurries...we got the call that night that there was going to be a 2hr delay. #Score
Then the next morning around 7 I get a call that said two of my favorite words....#SnowDay
This is my car the day after our snow day...I didn't exactly want to go out and clean my car off on a snow day so this was my procrastination present...it's more than it looks. |
3. Well, it was Dr. Seuss week and I found this great lesson/craftivity last year
It's by Erica over at Erica Bohrer's First Grade. It's no longer available due to strict Seuss copyright laws.
I never really did much with this book but I really liked it and the discussion that came with it was great. |
4. ISTEP week
This week was ISTEP (one of our standardized tests for our state)
I don't have any ISTEP pictures...but here is the general feeling
5. What would Seuss week be without Green Eggs & Ham?!
I'll admit it looks totally gross. I buy the diced ham and I heat it in the pan while I'm cracking and scrambling eggs. Then, I pour the eggs over the ham and scramble. Voila! We made predictions about who would and wouldn't like it. This year only one kid said that they wouldn't like it. I was surprised...and the kid that said he didn't think he'd like them really did. :)

I was so excited for these! :/

March has been meh. Busy couple of weeks coming up. Here's a freebie from my packet. It's a "Roll and Cover". Since it's mid year I've made it with numbers that require 3 dice.
(In the packet there is this Roll and Cover and 2 others all with varied numbers 3-18)

Your Dr. Seuss projects look great! I am so surprised so many kids said they would like green eggs and ham. My kiddos usually wrinkle their noses at me:)Thanks for sharing your week.

It is mine, but sorry I cannot sell it anymore. I don't want to risk getting sued by Dr. S.
SNOW!!!!!!! I miss that stuff! :/ Send us some down here to Florida! We would be out for a WEEK! I don't think our state would even know where to get a salt truck! LOL! :)
Your green eggs and ham activity looked like a total blast! :) What I wouldn't give to have seen their faces as you were putting this together for them! :) I'm so glad that they really got a kick out of it! :)
Thanks for sharing your week with us! It looks like you guys had a really good time! :) So glad I found you through the linky! :)

I would love a snow day...except without the snow! Never that lucky in California! Hope you enjoyed the day off! Thanks for the Roll & Cover freebie. That'll be great for our Math Games Galore this week!
