Little Priorities

Pillars of Education!

My school made this amazing display! Any teacher that has been at our school for over 25 years gets their name displayed! I have had the honor to work with many of these teachers!!

I am starting my 33rd year here!! I look forward to my name being up there!

It's Raining Hearts!

We read this adorable story and discussed the character and story elements. Then they got into a circle. I had labeled a lot of hearts with CVC words that rhymed. We have been struggling with rhyming lately! There were enough hearts for everyone.

After they practiced reading the words we did a movement activity with soft music. When the music played they milled around the room silently. When the music stopped they found the person they were closest to and read the words. If the words rhymed, they put a thumbs up and then the class listened to them read the words. Of course, I got observed during all of this! On Valentine's Day!

The next day we made an anchor chart of the words and taped them together in the word families.

I would definitely do this activity again!

February Sensory Bins

Flower Lego Kits were bought from the Dollar Tree! Not all the kids could put these together but it was great for those that are great at visual skills.

I sorted out the red and purple magna blocks. Kids were asked to build a House Full of Love! The teddy bear was from the Dollar Tree also. I also include battery operated tea lights. They need reminders to shut them off.

In the playdough center they kids were asked to build a Love Bug. I included cut up pipe cleaners, cookie cutters, rolling pins, googly eyes, pom poms and buttons. They loved this center!
