Back to School Blogger Exchange and Teacher's Notebook Sale!!

I was so excited to take part in a "Back to School Blogger Exchange" hosted by Adventures of Ms. Smith and Covered in Glitter and Glue this past month!  

 

I was partnered with a really sweet teacher named Amy who blogs at The Teacher Next Door.

 

 

 

 She actually lives in Japan which made the swap a learning experience - I got to fill out my very first customs form!  She sent me some adorable Peanuts items to fit in my new classroom theme!

 

 

I love this poster!  I laminated it and have it hanging on my door - a great way to greet my students as they walk in each morning (hopefully with a positive attitude)!

 

 

She also sent these cute Snoopy and family tabs to mark places in books -  I love these and will be using them to mark my place in Daily 5, CAFE, and the new Lucy Calkin units that I just ordered.  I also can't wait to tell the kiddos that these came from my friend in Japan!  Most of my students haven't been out of our state, so this will be fun for them.

 

Thank you so much Amy!

It's Science Fair Time!

Our school science fair is coming up in a little more than a week, and my kiddos have been working hard to get ready.  We have been conducting research about science projects that are similar to the ones the students are doing in order to make hypothesis and design changes.  This week we will work on rough drafts of our reports.

Here are some pictures from one of the projects: What is the effect of pollution on plants?  Unfortunately, the plants haven't grown at all - but a mold started to grow on all of the plant cases except for the one where we added vinegar.  Unintended discoveries- isn't that the beauty of science?

We have been using my Let's Enter The Science Fair graphic organizers to guide our research and writing.

You can get them at Teachers Pay Teachers or Teachers Notebook.
