Five for Friday

 

  This week my kindergarten students have been learning about nonfiction texts.  We have also been learning about dinosaurs.  Kids love to read and learn about dinosaurs.  Even the girls in my class are enjoying this unit of study.  I created two products to use with the dinosaur units that I already have.  The first is an emergent reader text that can be found here.  The second is a Cookie Excavation freebie.  It can be downloaded for free here.  The neat thing about the cookie excavation is that the kids do not even realize that they are learning.  My students were so engaged during the excavation activity.  And... who doesn't love eating after discovering?

 

Since we are a Title I School we are required to have Title I Parent Nights.  On Tuesday evening, we had a technology night.  Parents could come in with their students to learn about educational websites they could use at home and how to access their child's PowerSchool account.  Click here to download the pages that went home with each grade level.

Every year after Spring Break we have Penny Wars at our school and donate the money to a charity.  This year we donated the money raised to the Make*A*Wish Foundation.  Counting all of the money is a disgusting job...but the kids LOVE plotting against other classes!

Don't forget to support Teachers for Taytum!!  This is the last weekend to purchase from over 40 sellers.  Several teacher bloggers have come together to help raise awareness for this incredible cause.  All of the profits made from the sales will be donated in Taytum’s honor to help support the research of the March of Dimes, March for Babies.  There are four bundles available.  Click on any of the images below to purchase the bundles.
