Peep Science

We love Science! We love mad scientist science and this Thursday was mad scientist science. We experimented  with peeps! We had 4 different liquids: water, soda, dish detergent and vinegar with baking soda. What we had to do was make a hypothesis about what we think will happen when we drop a peep into the different liquids!

Now whenever we do experiments we all get to put in our lab coats and safety goggles! They love this!

They made their hypothesis for the first three liquids, did the experiments and recorded their results!

And then the grand finale!!! Vinegar and baking soda!!!!

We loved peep science!

Magic E

We use Discovery Phonics as part of our ELA block. The lesson we just completed was Magic E.

My kiddos were having some difficulty with this so I thought and thought on what I can do to improve their skills with this phonetic skill. I came up with the Magic E Fairy.

So my student teacher and I dressed up as the Magic E Fairies. Was I surprised at how much my kiddos loved this!

Then I had my kids make their own Magic E wands out of paper stars and paint stirrers. I let them decorate their paint stirrers with Sharpies!

Then they did all sorts of activities with their wands!

Then of course we needed a group shot!

Here is a poem I wrote!

And some cards I made for read the room!

We just loved Magic E!

An InLinkz Link-up

Currently March!

Well, it is that time of the month! It is the beginning of the month and that means it is time to link up with Farley at Oh Boy It's Farley for her awesome Currently Linky!

So here is what I am Currently doing...............

Listening: Right now, I am listening to 48 Hours on ID as I create this blog post! I am an ID addict!!! I love the commercials with the family. My daughter says I am the mom to a tee!

Loving: OMG!!! I got a new phone. I love my new phone. It is the iPhone 6s. It is amazing and I also got an Apple Watch. i feel like Inspector Gadget! I love technology and this is truly the BOMB!!!!!!!!!

Thinking: I really need to go to bed because I am tire but I am so much to do. It seems like I always have a lot to do. 

Wanting: I am thirsty and I have a chill so what do I want to drink...... A Starbucks Hot Chocolate. Do I have one close by? No. Am I  going to get one...... NO! :( 

Needing: To be able to clone myself so I can get everything done! i love my job, I love my students, i love being a single Mom but boy do I have a lot to do, all the time, and if I could clone myself for just a few hours, I am sure i could get a lot accomplished and maybe not be as tired as I am. Hmmmmmm.... 

Polling Site: My school is a polling site and I really do not like it. i feel that having all these extra people, strangers, on campus is not safe for the students or for us. I think schools should not be used as polling sites.

Well, There it is... What I am Currently doing! Please click below to visit some other awesome educators and see what they are Currently doing!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

We love Dr. Seuss! What school teacher doesn't? What first grader doesn't? This has to be one of my favorite days to celebrate!!!

First, we have to make the hat! Now, I have always made these stovepipe hats because I just think they look so authentic! The kids love them! 

After we made our hats, I took their pictures with The Cat in the Hat app on my iPhone. I love this app!

This year, I focused on the book, Green Eggs and Ham. So we read it, wrote about it, watched it and made green eggs out of pudding, food coloring and Nilla cookies! 

This was an awesome day! Happy Birthday to a great man!
