Winter Freebie!

Hello Science Friends, 

I wanted to share with you a freebie that I have made for my class to practice patterning. I have uploaded it to my TpT store for you to grab. I am having a sale at both of my stores through the end of the year! I have been working on seasonal sorts to give my class more practice with sorting and classification and I needed a few things on hand for our Science Notebooks. We all have loved notebooking through Science this year. I am looking forward to all things Science and sharing those experiences on this blog. I am running to my mailbox each day waiting on something so scientifically fantastic to share with you in the coming days but I guess for now the freebie will have to do!

Kandinsky Inspired Math

Kids love art.  They especially love seeing their artwork used as manipulatives in their learning centers.   When students make their own version of Wassily Kandinsky's art, they can also use their art as manipulatives for learning math.  Addition, subtraction, and even multiplication can be taught using his artwork.  To see more, visit http://literacymathideas.blogspot.com/

Christmas Cards Craft

I love to make Christmas cards with my kids. Here are two kinds I have created for my class. Use them in your Christmas Craft Center area.

Christmas Coloring Cards - these are great for kids in Kindergarten through to Grade 3. They include cards that are ready made, cards to be colored and coupons for the cards.



Christmas tree and Angel Scratch paper Cards. These I used to trace out the decorations on Scratch Art paper which goes on the front page of each card. For more details click here.

Create a North Pole

Having your kids create a North Pole is so much fun! I did it with my 3rd graders, and I'm sure that 2nd graders can do it, and maybe even 1st graders if you did it together. And I know 4th and 5th graders would LOVE it!

Fly on over to The Teachers' Cauldron to grab your directions on how to build a North Pole!
