This has been a busy week. We have been preparing for Fallas and St. Patrick. I used this easy printable with my secondgraders before our tests.
I have included English-Spanish and capital letters too. Enjoy!
They love everything crafty! 🙂

I also loved our Leprechaun directed drawing. Jennifer is an artist. And this was just perfect for my Art lessons in English.
We needed three 45 minutes lessons to complete them. But the results are worth it!
We draw them with pencils and colored with watercolors. On the last day they traced them with the black markers. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

We have been working on Proper Nouns and Common nouns. If you have been following for a while you know that I would not miss the opportunity to create a craft. So we created these Fall trees and I asked the kids to classify the nouns (Proper Nouns on the left/Common Nouns on the right). We also added the definition in the little boxes.
Get the pattern here (English & Spanish). I added some blank leaves to write their own nouns.
On the other hand I finished my Fall crafts with the first grade classrooms. I love being the Art Teacher! We created cute Fall leaves in a very short session.
First we glued a leave in the middle of a yellow paper. Then added some colorful strips of paper as borders.
The kids added the eyes made of punched circles and drew the arms and legs. It worked great and they were really proud of them! 🙂

We finally celebrated our first birthday! The kids loved getting their birthday pen. I created a small tag. Click on the picture to get it. The birthday candles are from
Cara Taylor. And they are free!
We had fun creating silly pumpkins.
We finished our bat unit. They kids love this unit year after year. We created an anchor chart with all the information researched.

Then we copied the information on
bat patterns and I added a very long straw to make them fly!
We also studied the parts of the bat. If you are interested in this unit check out the
TPT store.
I finally found what I was looking for… I have been debating about buying some Ikea furniture for the classroom. So when I found this deal I bought it!
