Techy Santa by Reagan Tunstall


 

Our elf, Rex, has left each of us a candy cane!
Check out my TPT store for the Elf on the Shelf Candy Cane Gift Tag!
 
I switched them out with green candy canes and a tag from the Grinch, which I can not sell or even give away since it says the Grinch and has his picture. :(
The Grinch is in the tree now! Can't wait until tomorrow when the students see them!!
 
 

 
Pictures for an ornament!
 
 
 
Wellllllll......I didn't get 12 pictures taken yesterday!  I tried!

Ready, Set, ACTION! Verbs that is!

Here's just a few of the verb activities
we have been doing! 
Keep reading for a FUN activity one of my cuties
invented the other day!
Brainstorming Verbs

Sure wish I could make my charts adorable like the ones
all over the teacher blog world and pinterest!




We did our Gingerbread Unit and this product
from Christie at First Grade Fever
was PERFECT!

On the last day of our Gingerbread Man unit,
guess who we finally found?!?!
There he was sitting in our hallway! 
He even left Gingerbread Men for us to eat as our
first batch of Little Debbie Gingerbread Men were sadly
destroyed earlier in the week in a science experiment,
"What happens when the Gingerbread Man gets wet?"
*Note the Missing posters in the background!
These posters were hung all over our elementary.


Check out the  missing poster and a
 couple of other freebies in my tpt store! 
 Check them out
here , here, and here!




 





Maybe I should have put them all into one product, huh?!?!



Anyway, one last plug for the
Gingerbread Man and my products!

Click here for a narrative writing activity!




NOW to the fun activity my student created!
We watched this youtube video on verbs.


(Sounds like Dr. Jean??)


My student then says, "Hey!  I have a game for us! 
We can get with a partner and take turns
clapping and saying:

Student 1
How about you?
What can you do?

Student 2
I can (insert verb)


It was a BLAST!  
They do the clapping and actions , just like in the video! 
They loved it and my student was so proud he invented it!

Fairy Tale Spin-Offs

Have you seen these books???




I was so excited about them,
I created (and continue to create!)
a whole bunch of common core ELA activities to go with them!
You can check them out by clicking here and here!
One product includes point of view, comparing and contrasting,
graphing and opinion writing.
The other product includes a newpaper template for
characters, setting and major events.



I also made a fairy tale inference investigation!

Click here for that!
