Life in the Classroom

We recently ended our unit on magnetism in second grade! They always enjoy using magnets in the classroom! We learned how magnets are used in our every day lives and then they explored things are magnetic and things that are not magnetic by going on a scavenger hunt around the classroom. We created the above anchor chart. They added their observations to the chart by drawing on a sticky note and labeling their picture.

4th grade health Each group had to research information about a different human body system and create a poster representing what they learned. They then had to present it to the class when they had a finished product.

This was a comic strip about cavities. This was done in a 4th grade classroom. They really enjoyed creating comic strips. I realized how many artists I had when I assigned this activity.

This is a project that my 4th grade class worked on a few weeks ago. They were very excited to create a giant Food Pyramid and have it posted up in the school hallway. Each table group created one part of the food pyramid and in the end, we put it together to make one full pyramid. This was then displayed in the school hallway. They did a great job on this project!

Pass the ball around the room and ask questions about earth day:)

Earth day! I got this while I was substitute teaching. It is supposed to be made into a book and pictures are supposed to be drawn in every circle representing what is written.

                                        This is an activity that I did in a kindergarten classroom. They were learning about 3D shapes and they used these shapes to create a picture. They really enjoyed doing this activity. It was engaging and hands-on.

Living and nonliving things.

This was an activity that went along with the shape theme. I had the kids label shapes around the room using cute out shapes. They had a lot of fun with this activity.

The kids had fun with this activity. I handed everyone an outline of a hand and they had to glue items onto the hand that were rough, smooth, soft, hard, & bumpy. Each finger was labelled so they know what to put on each one.

Looking At Clouds is a fun activity when learning about the different types of clouds.

This is an activity about shapes. I had the class create a picture of their choice using only cut out geometric shape.
