She grew in the apples in an orchard and then took them to market in a truck. She sold muffins, and pies, and lots of apples. We created a flow map to show the order of the book.<br />

We saw a clip on Brain Pop, Jr. about Johnny Appleseed then we sequenced the order of apple planting from seed to tree. It takes 10 years for a tree to produce fruit!<br />

Each class made a class wide promise on the rules we would follow this year as we became leaders in our school. The children helped brainstorm the ideas for the rules and every child in the class signed the promised...just like in the constitution of the USA!<br />

This grade level is very into reusing things. Pinterest is our BEST friend. We talked about how glad we are to have someone who picks up our trash. We watched trashy town and then we created these adorable trash men. I think we saw them on Chalktalk blog. We glued these in our science spiral next to a recycle symbol.<br />

If you have never read The Leader in Me go right now to the nearest bookstore and get a copy. We are hoping to change our children's lives by teaching them how to be prepared for what the future holds. They are all leaders and we are finding the strengths in each one and polishing it so that child will feel good about themselves. The book is based on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Sean Covey. We are teaching the 7 habits right now. Kinder had 30 students until a week ago so we are just on habit 5 this week.<br />

<br />
The first habit is to be proactive. We tell the children they are in charge of themselves. They are responsible for making good choices even when no one is watching them. They are also responsible for the attitude they carry with them.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The second habit is the have a plan. We made a plan on how we can all get to first grade by May! We post our weekly goals in the room and review them on Friday to see if we met our goals.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5LCGqcAgb7ET_xqfUtFgSdLi0H1mEi3WTr-1fTuL0FZjNZnxKZjSqMLeNRHJXS4hDnhq_RiBwdHhKTzDHPObIflvbM73trNXR6uDOKdi-kM-Usj08waCw5tZtTSTA21hiepyTGmWElfiQ/s1600/S7304845.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_lm_67388="null" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5LCGqcAgb7ET_xqfUtFgSdLi0H1mEi3WTr-1fTuL0FZjNZnxKZjSqMLeNRHJXS4hDnhq_RiBwdHhKTzDHPObIflvbM73trNXR6uDOKdi-kM-Usj08waCw5tZtTSTA21hiepyTGmWElfiQ/s320/S7304845.JPG" width="240" ysa="true" /></a></div>
The third habit is to put first things first. We tell the children work before play! We talk a lot about this habit and the benefits it can bring!<br />
Habit four is to think win-win. We brainstormed lots of ideas of how everyone can be a winner. I don't have a picture of our anchor chart yet! <br />
<br />
We wrote a grant the week before school and we found out on the 19th that our plan was accepted. We were able to buy 5 digital cameras to take pictures of the children doing the leader in me activities. As soon as I figure out the camera I will take lots of pictures!<br />

I took lots of pictures but the storage part of the blog was full!! I will have to figure out what to do now because I loved posting the pictures of the activities! <br />
I created a movie of the rainforest and of our zoo trip using IMovie on the ipad! If you don't have it, I am recommending it!! It was so much fun! Our team created a private YouTube account so we could pull our movies up and show them on the Promethean board for the end of the year program with our parents! It was amazing! <br />
<br />
I can't believe how fast this summer has gone! This is the first summer since my husband has retired so we have gone lots of places and done lots of things together. I read the MathWork Stations by Debbie Diller. (I know I am a summer behind!) I looked back and followed the book study from last summer as I read. Wow...it was an eye opener! I will definitely be adjusting my math station time. <br />

We talked about how important it is to save the rainforest. Lots of food and medicine come from the rainforest. We talked about being a scientist and studying things from there. We also talked about how fun it would be to be a photographer and take pictures of the animals there.</div>

This was a fun exploring lesson. I had 12 animals pictures posted around the room. The kids had a recording sheet and a clipboard. They had to explore the room and find the hidden animals and write the animal names on the sheet.<br />

This tub was fun. The kids picked a card and copied the sentence on their journal. They got to be the editor as there was no capital at the beginning of the sentence and no punctuation at the end!

Doing math in this tub required the child to look at the numbers and determine which was smaller and which was larger. The largest number was colored red and the smallest number was colored blue.

The tubs this week were a little easier for the kids to manage on their own. This was almost like last weeks with the only change being the letters were lower case. The kids turned the cards over and found the matching letter on the sheet and colored it.<br />

In this game, the students had to draw a card. If they could read the word, they kept the card. If they did not know the word they could ask a friend. Some of the cards said skip a turn and some said take a card from a friend. Miss Morte had to referee the game before it got out of hand!!</div>

Miss Morte did a great job of teaching the children all about what plants need and how they grow. I was testing for report cards and I did not get a lot of pictures. Wish I could recreate everything they did! Miss Morte talked about how a coconut is a seed that grows into a tree. This led to Chicka Chicka Boom Boom of course! The kids cut the circles and glued them to the tree mostly in ABC order!<br />

This next week you will see the math ones in my BUILD tower! On this tub, the kids looked at the pictures and had to clip the correct letter sound at the beginning. The picture below is a recording sheet they did independently after the game.<br />

Even if they could not read the words, they could match the letters at the end of the words. There was a sheet to record at least 3 words under each family of letters. This was not easy unless Miss Morte or myself stayed right with them talking about the strategy to use. <br />

As you can see that did not always make sense. The kids had to be able to read the words and determine if it was a sentence before they copied it. For the ones that can read, it was great fun but for the ones who are not there yet...frustration...for them and for ME!<br />

It was hard for us but I wanted to introduce it to them because in First grade they do ABC order. We tried to sort them by first letter first. Then I showed them how sometimes we have to use the second letter to decide what comes first.<br />

The game below was like many we have played. I love Kim Adsit for these games. They are the same concept but the characters are changed. It keeps the game interesting without having to reteach a new game every time! The kids roll the dice and move that many spaces toward their end until someone reaches the end making them the winner.<br />

Next year, I am going to start very early doing numbers before and after the quoted number. The kids were supposed to write the number on the sheep and then record the number before and after that number. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...but we will practice this some more.<br />
The tub below was matching the addition statement to the correct number on the monkey. Our color printer was out of ink for awhile so they are in black and white. :( <br />

Everything goes into a basket and in the afternoon we pull it right outside the door. She picks the children that have been awesome that day to play in the outside center. They love it!</div><br />

Then we came to the rug with our paper and a crayon and we sounded them out together and wrote the correct spelling so that those that had trouble could have a little extra practice.<br />

I love all of Mrs. Lee's games from her blog and decided to try my own. It took me a long time but I love them. The kids had to pick a pig with a picture on it. They would color the pig on the answer sheet so I knew which pig they were looking at. They had to sound out the CVC words. It was a lot of fun. I did sit with this group but I am hoping they will become independent on this game by the end of the year!!<br />

I found these great tongs that I can use in my literacy tubs or math stations! They can be used to pick things up so that the children are using those pincher muscles and well as their brains! If they go across the mid line of their body, it is even better!!!<br />
