Crocodile Pie and Leprechauns, Oh My!!

This was a busy week in room G12! We worked some more on our poetry unit! We read the poem Crocodile Pie and The Crocodile and the Dentist! We compared the two and then we made crocodile pie!!!

The kids loved it! Of course, we had to write anhow tonpiece and then create a crocodile out of Astrobrights amazing paper!!  

Here are some pics! 

The recipe for crocodile pie is to take a vanilla pudding cup. Add green food coloring and stir. Then dump it out on a plate and with a spoon form it into the head of a crocodile. Add candy eyes  and then eat!!

Here is their crocodiles they made and their writing in the hall!

This week was also St. Patrick's Day! We love this day! Silly McGilly came to visit us! If you have not heard of him, you must check him out! Click here to see him! 

Here is what I did in my room for decorations and so on!

We used gold color mist to turn our oreos into gold coins!! The kids were so amazed!! 

They loved how our little leprechaun left his foot prints all over the room!

Tonmake the foot prints, put green paint on the side of your hand and press it onto the surface you want him to step on. Then use your pinky to make his toes!!!

Of course, we have to get our picture taken with our Melonheadz leprechaun!! 

We graphed lucky charms and made leprechaun lunch. Leprechaun punch is from Deanna Jumps Leprechauns unit!! I love this unit!

We also read my favorite book, My Lucky Day. We then wrote about our Lucky Day and made a leprechaun out of Astrobrights paper!

This was a fun and busy week!! I would love to hear how you celebrated St. Patrick's Day in your class!

 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

crocodile pie!

Today we began our unit on poems! We read two poems- A Crocodiles Toothache by Shel Silverstein and Crocodile Pie! We discussed how authors use words to appeal to our senses in poems. The kids loved the two poems and they loved the video of A Crocodiles Toothache, I found on YouTube! Just click on the picture of my kids to watch the video! Of course you can't read the poem Crocodile Pie and not make it and that is just what we did!

To make Crocodile Pie, each child gets an individual pack of vanilla pudding, two chocolate chips, 2 edible eyes and 6 mini marshmallows. Add some green food coloring to the pudding and have them stir until it is completely green! 

Then when the pudding is green, they pour it on the plate and with their soon mold it to look like a crocodiles head. 

After you have molded the pudding into the shape of the crocodiles head, add two chocolate chips for the nostrils and two edible eyes. Then roll the mini marshmallows to look like teeth and add three on each side.

Once completed, you have crocodile pie! 

Now you eat it!
