Five for Friday with doodle bugs!

I am linking up with doodle bugs for her Five for Friday! So happy the weekend is almost here and Spring Break will be in one more week! Woot Woot! Here is my week in pictures.....

I am so excited!!! I just ordered this and it should be on my door step when I get home today. DeeDee Wills recommended it and I am sure it will be a keeper!

We are talking about transportation in our reading selections this week. I had the kids use my web brainstorming page to think of the various types of transportation they have used or could think of after reading our books. They then had to choose when to focus on. We will be writing more extensive passages next week about their selections and sharing them with the class.

I know St. Pats has passed but I still had many of the materials I made for the Unit to share with the kids! We practiced our digraphs by matching the pictures with their corresponding digraph and then writing them out. We also matched ten frames with numbers and wrote the tallies.  The other station pictured here is the use of prepositions. The kids had to pull a card, match the letter from 'leprechaun', and then follow the directions. For instance, they had to draw a shamrock under the rainbow.

We continued our Seuss Unit and read "Fox in Socks" and "Horton Hears a Who". The kids cut out Horton, wrote his saying and then we added the speck of dust to it. They turned out cute =) I am going to have more chances to do these fine motor activities next year when we are going all day/every day.

My biggest project I completed was the extension activities I create for our reading program that we use in class. I have one more to go and I feel like I have run a marathon. They are very time consuming to make but they really engage the kiddos and it is enjoyable too.

Have a wonderful weekend!!
