Hey peeps! I am getting ready to introduce vowel teams to my first grade kiddos this week. Here's a song we'll be using to practice the vowel digraphs (vowel teams).
Hello Everyone!! 2014 is almost here! We are staying home, safe and sound in our living room this year! I am so happy!! We had a houseful of love and laughter this past week with both boys and friends here, and frankly, I am pooped!! It feels good to not have to cook, clean, dress up, and be "on" for a few hours!! But at the same time, I miss them already!!! I do, finally, have a minute to show a couple of pics from the week before winter break. One of my favorite days was our Grinch Day. We love celebrating the special message that Dr. Seuss illustrates in this infamous story! Here are a couple of pics! The kids went all out with grinchy green spirit! The grinch sent some sweet little elves to check on our kindness and make sure we learned from the story! Jolly, Joy, and Jingle made their debut and will probably hang around throughout the new year!! A yummy green snack was mysteriously left for the kids!! This amazing team really gets into every celebration!! I also wanted to share with you something our room moms made for our classrooms!!! The kids brought gift cards to clip onto this amazing snowman tree!! We have the best room moms around!!! When we get back from winter break we will be studying the historically significant and amazing life of Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the World. I put together a little unit about her, integrating social studies and ELA. Here are a few pics from the 17 page unit. For your own printable unit on Eleanor Roosevelt, click here!! Another thing we will begin studying is the science concept of living and nonliving. I have shared a mini unit on this topic before, but I revamped it a bit, so I'm offering it again! Here are a few pics from the 9 page unit. For your little living/nonliving unit click here!! I hope these little offerings will help your 2014 get off to a good start. Stay tuned for a little somethin' somethin' later in the week!! Till then, be safe and warm tonight. Welcome 2014!!! Joyfully! Nancy
Hello Everyone! I have had several requests to update my New Year unit for 2014. While doing that, I decided to add a couple of things to go along with where we are in our curriculum. I have added another poem/chant to help kids work on responding to rhythm, rhyme, and alliteration using voice and body, as well as written expression. I have also added a component practicing the hard and soft sounds of c and g. Oh! and there is a quick 2-d geometric figure activity. The unit ended up to be about 55 pages. Here are a few pics. For your free printable 2014 unit, celebrate and click here! Or HERE for the 2015 version!! :) Have a great week!!! 5 more days for us and then winter break!! Joyfully! Nancy

Hello Everyone! This week we will begin our study of nouns and verbs. I wanted to do a quick share of something my cuties will be working on. I love the story "The little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything." by Linda Williams. I plan on using this book to study several different things. First off? Nouns! I wrote a little noun song and plan to use it to find all the nouns in the story. I created a quick little cut and glue sorting activity with pics from the story and then a recording page for the kids to write the nouns. Here are a few sample pics of the unit. For your 9 page printable, click here! Unless you're afraid!! :) Keep an eye out for the Verb Unit that will go along with this story as well! Joyfully! Nancy
