PET ROCK!
Check out this yearly favorite!
I have students tell me, years later,
they STILL have their pet rock!
(We do this activity during our study of nature's resources and rocks!)
Her pet rock's name is
Cotton Candy!
How sweet is that!!
This is by far one of their favorites! They ALL
want to tell me right away what their pet's name
is and show me the house they designed
and blanket they chose!
I know this is the
LOUDEST
my classroom is every year!
Well...maybe not! :)
We will have a show and tell tomorrow!
Ran out of time........
Story of my life!!!
Anyway....
I love to pair up fiction and nonfiction books during a unit!
I also try to have a story souvenir to match the theme!
I give these on Mondays after reading the first fiction
and nonfiction story to introduce the unit.
