Pintrest Pick 3 August

It is August, which means the count down is on for Back to School. I am one of the luck ones and our kids don't start until after Labor Day! Today I am bringing you 3 of my most favorite Pins to inspire you this school year! I am linking up with Inspired Owl's Corner and Pawsitively Teaching for August's Pick 3 Pintrest Party. So here you go...

As a mom of boys and a teacher of Primary grades this pin caught my eye immediately! How can you not love anything Lego related? I am always looking for Work Work ideas early in the year for those babies who still need help with their letter recognition. Young learners will be instantly engaged with this center.

If you look closely there are two spoons on top of each other. The white spoon has the uppercase letter and the clear spoon has they lowercase letter. What a cute and low cost idea to add to your classroom!
This pin really got my creative juices flowing and I thought of tons of other possibilities: numbers and dots, opposites, color and color word.... the list goes on and on!

I saw this pin forever ago and LOVED the creativity! How cute would this DIY bubble gum machine be on your desk? You can fill it with tiny erasers or a yummy treat for you kiddos!

I hope these pins inspired you and got you in the "Back to School" mode! If you are looking for more inspiration click the images below to see some amazing pins picked out by some great teachers!

Watermelon Day!

As promised, here is our WATERMELON DAY! How can you go wrong with watermelon?! We started off by digging right in.

Then we used describing words to write about what we know about watermelon!

We used this great little unit by Jessica Travis She has some great units in her store, I am never disappointed with what she does.

Then we made some watermelon buddies. by Christa Lynos

Popcorn Day

As the school year winds down I start to have theme days full of fun! One of our fun days was POPCORN DAY! The students loved it! We started by reading some books to get us in the popcorn zone.
These are my favorites:

 We then made a little popcorn craft that went along with our sight words. (I found the popcorn bucket and outline on google images)

Then we made popcorn! My lovely co-teacher brought in her air popper and the students went CRAZY! I have a video of it on my Instagram account.

It was delicious!

We used our 5 senses to explore our popcorn (and our favorite sense to use was taste!) I found this cute little freebie from Sunny and Bright in First Grade

This product has the cutest clipart! The students did a wonderful job!

Up next WATERMELON DAY!
