Individual assignment
Dancing to Peanut Butter by Dr. Jean
Students following a partner's
directions on how to make a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich
This student followed the
directions from his partner
word for word! It didn't say
spread it around, so he didn't!
It didn't say put the other slice
of bread on top, so he didn't!
3. Geometry- Shapes
I gave students a bag of 3D shapes
and told them to sort them.
2 groups sorted by shapes,
1 group sorted by color,
and one group sorted by
shapes that roll/don't roll &
shapes that stack/don't stack.
Sorted, graphed and recorded
results using 3D edible shapes!

4. R-controlled vowel -ar
and Pirates
Nonfiction and Fiction Pair
&
Gold Coin Story Souvenir
Pirate Pam and her parrot Polly
came to visit! They read the fiction
and nonfiction pirate books and passed
out the gold coin story souvenir.
This activity is from Babbling Abby's packet.
Scroll down for the link.
I had the kiddos trace the words
in glue and used multi-colored
glitter to fancy them up.
I wanted to use gold but
my gold was at home!
Caution: Students MUST lightly trace
their words or this will happen!
Here is the packet from Babbling Abby!

Funny From a Honey
One of my students who
really struggles, looked up
from the paper he was working
on and said...
"Am I molting?
Stuff just fell on my paper!"
He REMEMBERED a
vocabulary word from
OCTOBER!!!
I was so proud of him...
and it cracked me up because
he was so serious!
The very next day we talked
about caterpillars molting
and I called on him to answer!
Thanks for stopping by!
