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!

Spring Senses

We are starting to get a taste of  Spring here in NJ so we jumped right into the season using our senses! To start us off I found an awesome pack from Kate at Teacher to the Core. She has so many engaging ideas to spark our little learners interest!

You can read all about her unit and how she incorporated it in her classroom here. 
 We used our senses to explore gummy worms and my kids ate it up (literally!). I was amazed of all the wonderful adjectives they came up with when using their senses.

After reading several poems about Spring and taking a "Spring Walk, " we made these cute little Spring Senses Rainbows.

They were so proud of their work I displayed them in our hallway-we get complements daily on them! 

If you would like to make Spring Senses Rainbows, I have added a little FREEBIE below. 

Have a great week!
