Wild and Wacky Weather Lap Books

My students did an outstanding job on their Wild and Wacky Weather Lap Book Projects.

They had to choose one type of wild weather to research:

blizzards

hurricanes

floods

tornadoes

thunderstorms

The project required:

definition

location

causes

damages

interesting facts

safety tips

illustration

weather warning report

I had them share the weather warning report to the class.

You can create your own templates and rubric or purchase mine.

This project is part of my Atmosphere and Climate Unit available at my TPT store.

Faux Snow Day Celebration

We had school on December 23 and planned a "Faux Snow Day."  We wore our pajamas to school and planned things we like to do on real snow days...wear our comfy pajamas, drink hot cocoa, read a good book and do some coloring. The only thing missing was Snow.

We had to finish sharing our projects....Thanks Santa!!!

MARSHMALLOW AND HOT COCOA

In science class, we did a STEM challenge and built marshmallow towers.  We used 2 cups of marshmallow and 100 toothpicks.  It was more challenging than we thought...the marshmallows were too soft.  Gumdrops might be sturdier.  The kids still had fun!  We drank hot cocoa at the end.

COORDINATE GRAPHING IN MATH

The kids used coordinates to graph and color gingerbread houses.  

(used free Gingerbread House from Math Wire)

PAPER PLATE GAME
I saw this on Pinterest for a Christmas scene.  I changed it to a snowman.  We laughed so much. 

 

 

The best drawing!  Nice job Courthney.

SNUGGLING WITH A GOOD BOOK in ELA

Miss Hammond had everyone bring their independent reading book.  

Everyone joined in!

(Shhhh....I am looking forward to a real snow day)

Happy New Year!!!!
