Oh man, it has been hard coming back from break, is anyone else feeling this way??? Anyone else needing to pump a little more caffeine into their veins like me??? Anyhoo, we jumped right back in with a little measuring activities brought to us by the well-known Investigations curriculum...here are some of my kiddos measuring fish:) They actually thought this was kind of fun!
And thanks to Cara Carroll at The First Grade Parade and www.theteacherwife.blogspot.com, I conglomerated their two ideas to have my students create these Happy New Year faces - LOVE them. They wrote their New Year resolutions inside and we discussed a lot about making/setting goals, etc.
Gotta love this one - yes...I would take her home:) And...I think she's getting pretty close, don't you?!!!
And how cute is this?? Should I tell his mommy??? I wonder if she's seen the evidence of this resolution???
We read this book before starting the New Year faces...its one of the ONLY books I (or one of my teammates rather) could find about New Years...anyone else out there have any good ones - I'd love more ideas, I searched and searched - this one is pretty cute!
And...since we were talking about all things "new", I threw this one in there and talked about how we all sometimes want to be someone new but that we are all perfect just the way we are...it was a great segway into Martin Luther King Jr. Day by the way:)!
SO...how's it going for you? Are you off to a great start? Feeling refreshed and re-energized? Well, thank goodness for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday is all I have to say...best of luck to you in this new year!!! I am praying for lots of energy and inspiration to be creative!!! Hoping the same for you!
