What do plants need?

Uncategorized
We just saw our experiments results! We planted different plants with different conditions to see which one grew faster. 
After seeing the results we planted our plants with the best conditions and these are the results:
They look good!
When we learnt what plants needed we created a fun fold and learn activity.
I just added this to a linky party: visit http://theteachingbank.blogspot.com.es/

Plants unit

Uncategorized
We started our plants unit!
Everything started last week with a fun experiment to learn: What do plants need? I’ll post about it as soon as we get the results.
Today we learned about parts of the plant. We made a fold and learn activity so they could take it home. They really love taking everything home…
 I decided to translate it to English too and sell it on TPT so everyone could use it.

Spring Fast Finishers

Uncategorized
Tests just arrived to my classroom, just like spring.
They all start at the same time, but this year I have more fast-finishers than ever! Some of them have to wait for 20 minutes.
What do I do now??? 
I find it very difficult finding engaging activities for my first graders to do while waiting for the rest of the classroom to finish their tests.
This is my last TPT creation:
They are fun enough to keep them engaged, but review some reading or math.
And the best of all, they don’t need help to do them. I just explain them all at the beginning and they can choose the one they like when their finish their test.
