It is my first time linking up for Currently. It is mostly all about own darlings who are on my mind. So I have a few pictures to follow showing school work as well.My daughter got her report card last week and requested a trip to Golden Corral which is evidently the in place to eat for second graders. Needless to say, the toddler entertained the place. Despite picking a table in front of the fruits and vegetables, my children found the deserts on their first go round. So cotton candy fueled children went running in the backyard. :)
At school today, we had visits from our high school buddies. They came once before and interviewed the kinders. Then they wrote them books. Today, they returned with the special dedicated books. After reading, a craft and running around the playground, the kinders were so sad to see their buddies go.
And here are some work samples from our last few weeks on animals. Camouflage pictures to go with Eric Carle's Mr Seahorse. And research organizers, writing and turtle crafts to go with my Sea Creatures Research It! pack.
Don't forget to check in on May Fridays for Mother's Day items and freebies.

I love the turtles! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks. As part of our sea creatures unit, we researched sea turtles in depth learning that the green sea turtle gets its color from its diet because it is a vegetarian. Then we compared them to several land turtles thanks to a guest speaker. The kinders were able to pick the type of turtle they wanted to create and had to choose flippers or feet with claws. They really enjoyed it.

That is so funny about Golden Corral. My first graders request to go there for their birthday dinners! The big event is the "Soft serve" ice cream & the "chocolate fountain!". I myself, have never been there...but I hear it is the PARTY place for Primary grades! HAHAHAHA wendy 1stgradefireworks@gmail.com 1stgradefireworks
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate fountain was a definite draw for my daughter. :)
DeleteGolden Corral, huh? Who knew that was such a hot trend! :) Love the seahorses.

Thanks. Sea horses are so fun to learn about because the students love the photographs. We also read the Eric Care book Mr. Seahorse as a jumping off point for the camouflaged sea creatures. Next year, I'll be sure to get watercolor paper not manila so they can watercolor over their layers but they did a great job. They loved drawing the sea horses camouflaged with their writing.

That is such a cute idea to have high school buddies interview your kids and write a book for them! How sweet! :)

We were lucky. Our high schools have community service projects and this group picked our school and came in buses to visit with our twelve pre-k to first graders.
