February Activities- Busy and Exciting!

2/5/2013

What an incredibly busy and exciting end to January and beginning for February.
To start off with, I was home sick for three days last week and then I returned to madly prepare for Groundhog Day on Friday. We had a busy day doing activities that related to that furry fellow who was going to tell us if we were in for an early spring or a long winter.

To begin with we did several activities from a product by Alyssa at 4th Grade Racers.
There were many different activities to choose from, and the game helped to determine which ones each child would do.

We did some word games using my groundhog sight word cards and the WORDS cards from my winter celebrations sight words games.

Next we did some work looking at websites that showed the different groundhogs and some of the events that happened in those areas. We also did a prediction sheet for Wiarton Willie, one of our Canadian groundhogs. After than we did this cute word search from Molly Phillips at Classroom Confections.

In Math we did addition and subtraction strategies as well as place value and fact families. We used my fact family triangles and the place value games I blogged about earlier in January.

We also discussed the Road Maps for addition and subtraction. These are the routes they took to get their answers.

Earlier in the week the children did some work on winter writing. They used this graphic organizer to help gather their ideas. They then created some winter poems on the computer. Because I was away, these still need to be edited and printed. (A job for this week)
This week our focus is Hundreds Day. We are currently trying to put together 100 RAK hearts and come up with 100 kindness phrases. It is amazing how big the number 100 is when you start actually trying to write them all down. We may extend our deadline until Valentines Day because I have been away so much.
It was interesting to find that someone else is doing the same thing. I found this on TpT this weekend. It fits perfectly with what my class is doing this week.

Finally, but most exciting for me, is that my daughter had a little baby boy early Monday morning and I was able to take the time off work to come and be with her at this special time. Makaio, almost 5, is the big brother and Kalena, almost 3, is the big sister. They are very excited about their little baby brother. Makaio and Kalena received very special presents for this occasion. They each got a personalized alphabet book. They were so excited to get these books and see their own life pictures inside them.
