Heads and Tails Penny Graph

Here is my version of the Heads and Tails Penny graph I used during our President’s Day theme.  If the pictures don’t come across, I would take the boxes that you see on the chart and stamp a penny heads and tails image in only the first boxes on the top section and in an [...]

5 Senses/Nutrition and Dental Health

We have been talking this week about 5 Senses/Nutrition and Dental Health–nothing like waiting until the last week of the month to squeeze it all in!
Monday, we started by reading My 5 Senses by Aliki (Big Book) and talked about how our senses help us in everyday life.  We also made a new [...]

Tuesday, we retold the story and then Choral Read [...]

Graphing/Sorting Candy Hearts

Here are two sheets I used today with my students to sort and graph candy hearts.  I also have them pattern with the hearts and find other ways to sort than by color (phrase, icon, etc.)  Click on them once and then when that image pops up, click again to make it actual size.
Enjoy!

Roll A Valentine

I have posted the Roll-A-Valentine under PDF (look under “R”).  You will need to add some pictures to the sheet and make the dots on the dice–I can’t get them to stay! Crazy Mac!
 
Enjoy!
