Happy Wednesday! There are still a few hours left of the TPT Teacher Appreciation Sale! Click HERE to check out some products in my store! You can get them 28% off with code THANKYOU! We started learning about landforms last week and the kids seemed to enjoy it! After we discussed each landform, we made these cute little craftivities! The original idea was from Mrs. Nicolau, and we just modified it a bit! She has a great freebie that you can use! Today, for our first balloon pop activity, we did our Edible Landforms Project! As always, it was a big hit! We tweaked it a little bit this year because we did not have parents send the items-we had lots of leftovers from other activities, so we were trying to use up the food we had! We did not use tortillas this year; we just had the kids trace the United States on the plate and put icing right on the plate. It worked perfectly! We also used the off brand Fruit Loops instead of M&Ms. It saved us quite a bit of money :) The kids did an awesome job! Here's a sample! You can pick up this activity by clicking below! It is only $1 in my TPT store! It includes all the templates, map keys, parent note, teacher directions...everything you would need! I hope you're surviving the end of the year! We are in the home stretch, friends!

This post includes more pictures of my social studies interactive notebooks we have used this school year. You will see most of the information in this post are foldables from Dinah Zike and mine is lacking color like the students. Global grid system notes Maps versus globes Venn diagram Parts of a map foldable Vocabulary to accompany our textbook Landforms found above and below sea level foldable Types of landforms foldable Cornell notes on South America from our textbook This is a bad copy of the foldables notebook I used. Hope this helps all of those who were wondering where the book came from and what it looked like.
This week in social studies we have been learning all about technology! We have talked bout different kinds of technology, how it has changed and how it helps us! I used activities from my new technology unit! I started the week on Monday by showing my kids an abacus and the calculator on my cell phone. I asked the kids about what the abacus and calculators do to help us. We compared them and talked about how both objects help us do similar things, but the calculator is faster and easier to use. We reviewed the words past and present and we then brainstormed other examples of technology used in then and now. I then sent the kids off to their seats to illustrate and label different examples. They came up with some great ideas: (candle, bird: light, phone) (quill, talking, candle, horse; pencil, light, phone, car) (They use horses to go to work and school; They have cars now and they drive a seat.) (quill, candle, horse, abacus; computer, car, lamp) On Tuesday we talked about how even though technology has changed a lot, there are still some examples that we used a long time ago and today. The kids worked on a venn diagram where they placed pictures according to when we used them. I told them there was not one right answer, they just had to explain their reasoning to me. For example, some kids thought horse should be in the past since we have cars now, but some kids said horse should be in both since some cowboys today still use horses in their work. After our venn diagram, I asked the kids to come up with technology that will be in the future. They came up with some very fun ideas: (robot maid - Yes, she is modeled after Rosie from the Jetsons!) (super shoe - help you run super fast!) (electricity car - hooray for no gas!) On Wednesday, we talked about how we use different kinds of technology depending on where we are and what we need to do. We talked about things we use at home versus at school. We noticed that we use a lot of the same things in both places. I then had the kids fill out a web for each setting: (TV, phone, tablet, games, computer, lights) (phone, computer, games, Wii, X-box, play station) (Wii, lights, computer, car, microwave, phone) (TV, toilets, tablets, phones, lights, computer) (TV, kindle, toilets, pipes, lights, phone) Today we talked about the many ways that technology helps us and makes our lives easier (most of the time!) I let them work on a paper book where they had to come up with one way that each example helps them. On the last page they had to come up with their own example: (drive) (play games) (call people) (see the moon) (bathrooms - brush our teeth) (lights - see) We had a lot of fun this week! Hope you enjoyed all my kids' hard work! The first three people to comment (with their email) can get a free copy! Click on the picture below to check out my product on TpT!

Chart paper. Markers. Stick figures. Bubble letters. Lamination. Anchor charts. Anyone else love to make these? I could write a bunch of stuff about how they're not just pretty pictures but that's no fun. Here are some of mine! You better believe they remember the difference now! Not nearly as cute as I like to make them, but it was helpful. This goes with this: It can get annoying when our darling chickadees keep asking WHY they have to learn something, but truthfully, they do deserve an explanation once in a while. Maybe all the time :) Plus, the first text we used for the unit that introduced character reactions provided the cherubs MANY opportunities to react. Explaining theme to 9 year olds was challenging. Do you like how while I was making this chart I realized they didn't know what inferencing was so I threw in the definition at the bottom? I explained it later. Also I thought it was "inferencing" not "inferring" so I get to re-teach that one! Thanks, anonymous co-worker :) Goodness gracious do they love my stick figures. Summary, not summer-y. No, really. I had to clarify. This should be far larger, but at least you get the idea. It's kind of tough to describe culture. This barely begins to cover it. The best part of this lesson? When we talked about the "tradition" part, I meekly started singing the opening song of Fiddler on the Roof and HALF OF THEM KNEW WHAT I WAS SINGING. "Traditionnnnnnnn! Tradition!" Anyone?
