American Symbols Part II

We had a wonderful time learning about the symbols of America.  Here is a peek at some of our learning.

Patriotic Hearts  After learning about the colors of our flag, students weaved these hearts.  I added their photo to the star.

Liberty Crowns  This is one of my favorite crafts.  To make, I draw the crown onto a 18x12 construction paper and cut.

 Drawing Lady Liberty With the help of this You Tube video, I was able to teach my students how to draw the Statue of Liberty.  I originally saw this here and here.

Bald Eagles We completed this shared writing to go along with our art from Mrs. Jump's unit.

I loved how patriotic our classroom looked.


Happy Learning and Teaching!

Our 100th Day...Finally

We finally celebrated our 100th day of school.  (Of course, it came on the shortest day of the week!) In our madness to get everything done, I didn't get many photos.  We began the day by viewing a simple Power Point to help them think about what a 100 year old person is like. Then, we made ourselves as 100 year old people.  This idea was inspired by Mrs. Bates.  They turned out so cute but I forgot to take pictures. :(

Here are some photos of the other activities the kids participated in:

 Putting together a 100 piece puzzle with a friend.  Target Dollar Spot finds.

 Writing numbers to 100 and a 100 words. 

Enjoying a 100 calorie snack! 

Here's a sneak peek of what we have planned for tomorrow.

Happy Teaching and Learning!
