Owl Pellets
Thanks to Donor's Choose, our owl pellet experiment got funded! Ohmiword, the screams of excitement were almost too much :) I loved every second of watching them explore. I should have taken a picture of their thank you notes, but I didn't think of it. They thanked their donors for the "experience" and said "it was the best day of their lives". I have never seen a class that loves science and exploring more than this one. This was well worth the time writing the Donor's Choose project. If you haven't written one, do it! You will not regret it!I ... read more
Field Trip- Hunter Cattle Company
This year we had to split into two groups to go on our field trip because our grade level is growing so much! Here are some pictures from Hunter Cattle Company.

Spring Poetry
This is the first year I have taught new types of poetry to my first graders. I have always taught list poems and acrostics, because they are easy enough for the students to create. I love teaching poetry, but I love even more when the students can create poetry too. During April, we have written poems about peeps, Easter, and Spring. I found these great doilies from The Dollar Tree, and bought egg shapes and pink and yellow flower shapes. Such a cheap and easy way to incorporate something other than worksheets :)I made this acrostic ... read more
All about Eggs day!
The week before Easter, we studied eggs and did many egg experiments during our Gifted and Talented Resource time. I co-taught with our Resource teacher, and the kids had such a blast. I made a half book for the kids to record their predictions.Our egg-sperts used this nifty book :)Salt water versus regular waterShaking and smelling the eggs to see if they could tell a difference between the raw and hard- boiled.Spinning the two eggsSquishing the raw egg, look at those missing teeth :) Love it!The last day, I took about an hour and let the kids ... read more
