Are you celebrating Seuss’ birthday on Friday?! If you are, you should celebrate with Seuss Juice! An equal mix of red Hawaiian Punch and Sprite…super simple. IF you wanna get a little fancy, toss in some food colored ice cubes and watch the fun transpire :) We’ll be enjoying indoor s’mores and Seuss Juice on Friday & then we’ll follow up with these printables…{click on the pics for your copy}.
We’ve been camping out in our classroom the last couple of days. We started out our little adventure with a graph…
I honestly thought more kids had camped out before! Wrong. So….we needed some non-fiction books to help me teach the kids more about camping. We started out with our fiction/non-fiction anchor charts to help us differentiate between the two different types of text.
We read a few different non-fiction books about camping and mixed in a few cute little fiction books, too.
We’re still knee deep in our camping adventure. Today was skunk day :) I can’t wait to share the rest of our adventures with you!! And for those of you who’ve asked about my camping unit, I promise to have it up by the end of the weekend! I’ll keep everything in my store on sale until it’s uploaded :)
HAPPY Leap Day Eve, sweet friends!!! And happy leap day birthday {tomorrow} to Sarah Cooley!
How fun! Camping is such a cool idea for a unit. Thanks for sharing!

Oh! How I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your charts! They just make me happy looking at them!
ReplyDeleteI agree, camping is an awesome idea for a unit. We study habitats in October, I am totally incorporating the camping idea with it next time around. You're always inspiring. Thanks!

I will be using your Seuss Juice here in Malaysia to teach the first graders! I think I can find Sprite and Hawaiian Punch (or the Malaysian equal!) at the grocery store. Thanks for the fabulous camping ideas as well!

Thank you for sharing your creations. I especially appreciate how you tie exciting tidbits (like Seuss Juice) into practicing writing about the 5 senses (or tie the senses into a fun drink)! :) Thanks a million, we'll enjoy your juice Friday!
ReplyDeleteCan you come to my room and draw my anchor charts for me?? Please!

I was looking for one more activity for Friday, and Seuss Juice it shall be! I love the how-to writing piece and science tie-in. THANK YOU! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, what font is that used on your graph title, "Have you ever gone camping?"
I was so making Green Eggs and Ham {on a sugar cookie} on Friday...UNTIL I saw your Seuss juice!!! Now we are doing that! Could you be more precious???? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, girl! :)

Ok, here is my question, too: When you make your anchor charts (and I know many of you can probably answer this) do you make them prior to teaching the lesson-like a few nights before? In my school, we don't use them, and I hadn't heard of the term until last weekend, in my obsessed frenzy on Pinterest. I get what they are, but I don't understand when they are made. During the lesson or before? Thank you so much for the answer!!
ReplyDeleteJamie :)
L.O.V.E. your chart! Thanks for the freebie and for the fabulous ideas!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I will make Suess Juice on Monday! WE are doing a whole week of Dr. Suess!

ReplyDeleteYou are so awesome! You take little ideas and turn them into the cutest activities and games! I have used more of your ideas than I can even remember.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you get this all the time, but I have awarded you the Lovely Blog award! If you have the chance, please stop by my blog to check it out!
