Mother's Day Card |
Homework collection- I found this bin on amazon.com. The kids love "feeding Fido." |
I made these crayons using a cupcake tin and old crayon pieces. |
I added a note on a popsicle stick thanking my teacher for all of the guidance she has given me throughout the experience. |
I found these daisy boots for my cooperating teacher. I thought she'd like these boots to pull student popsicle sticks from. |
Cause and effect relationship graphic organizers- The graphic organizers are kept in a pocket here and randomly selected to refresh our memories about cause and effect. |
Story Pinwheel- I use this during guided reading groups to summarize chapters they read for literature circles. |
Response cards- I use these so everyone gets to share their answers instead of just calling on one student. |
Fraction Sundaes- I used this to introduce numerators and denominators. Their fractions were all different because I had them choose 1-9 scoops of ice cream and let them decide on flavors. |
Valentine's Day fortune tellers- The students enjoyed learning to fold their own fortune tellers and created their own fortunes. |
Valentine exchange bags- My students created their own bags by following a few simple steps. |
Miss Ritchey's desk :) |
All About Me-shirt- I created a t-shirt for the students to get to know me. I created t-shirt templates for them to fill out about themselves as a way for me to get to know them. At the end of the year, the students will sign the back of the t-shirt. I am also going to iron on a picture from Read Across America Day. |
Raw/processed foods activity- Students searched through newspaper ads to classify food items. |
Agriculture concept map (frayer map modified)- Students folded their papers as they would to make a frayer map but labeled their sections to meet the needs of this science assignment. |
Exit slip- I have students write about what they learned before they can be excused from a lesson to start other work. It is a nice closure and helps me plan instruction. |
Compound word activity- Students took a slip of paper out of the plastic bag that had a definition. Then they found two egg shells that made up the compound word and recorder their findings. |
Interactive Venn diagram activity- We used two hula hoops for a comparing and contrasting activity. |
Parts of speech French fries activity- While reviewing adjectives, articles, and nouns last week, the kids did a sorting fries activity. It was a fun way to review a dry topic. |
Plant parts books- We watched a BrainPOP video about the parts of a plant and referenced the book "How Did That Get into My Lunchbox?" that we read in a previous class to put together these books. The kids loved doing these. |
