I am continuing on my Instagram journey, and I have managed to keep uploading a picture a day. I try to keep it a mix of classroom pics, products from my Teachers pay Teachers store and some ‘real life’ pictures. Here are a few things that I was up to this week: We have a …
The students in our class were showing an interest a couple of weeks ago in the weather and the clouds that they saw outside. So we decided to start a unit on clouds and see how interested they were in looking at different kinds of weather. Apparently not very interested because we have decided to …
Reinforce literacy skills with these fun, hands-on activities. Students will practice letter recognition and letter formations while using this fun manipulative.
