Field trip, Spring, and School Glue

On Thursday, my class got to go on a field trip!  Wahoo!!!  Field trips are always so much fun!!  We went to the Shell Factory.  We got to see lots of animals and even hold and touch them.  Check out my kiddos holding a tarantula.

I know, they are so brave!

I love seeing their faces!

Then we got to pet and learn about a skunk!  I was surprised at how soft a skunk is.  She told us they are hypo-allergic so they would be great for a pet.  I think I will pass on having a skunk as a pet, but it was very interesting information!

The Shell Factory has lots of animals to look.  One section of the place has dinosaurs with noises.  So fun!!

ROAR!!!!!

I decided to take a photo opt too!

Look at the camel! Isn't he cute!!!  The students loved feeding him.

This week my kiddos had to learn about Spring.  Seasons are always difficult in Florida because it is always warm.  The students usually think the seasons mean Summer and Snow Bird Season. (Snow Birds are the people that come down to Florida to leave during the winter).  My intern did a fabulous lesson on Spring!

Here she is reading a Season book to the class. Then they watched a Spring video on Youtube!

Next, they made a flower and labeled the parts.

Next, we made some ladybugs!

Check out the glue that some of my kiddos were using for their ladybugs. 

This glue made my room smell like oranges!

The glue is called Recycled School Glue!  I was asked to check it out, so I gave it to some of my kiddos and had them use it.  My students love the smell!

What I liked about the glue is that it is the ONLY glue out there that is made from 100% of recycled material!  Isn't that great!!  The glue is made from Styrofoam that comes from tv boxes and other stuff!  It sticks to paper really well!  The thing I didn't like about the glue was that it kept getting stuck inside the container so my kiddos couldn't squeeze it out.  I emailed the company and told them my students' problem.  They said they were going to fix it.  The customer service of the company is great!!  If you get a chance, try the glue for yourself!  It will make your room smell fruity!

St. Patrick's Day Fun!

This week was a short week for us.  Today we had a teacher work day to finish up our grade cards.  I assessed my kiddos all week to get their grades for grade cards.  I am always happy when assessment time is done because I am always scared I won't finish in time.  We started our Spring Break today too!!  Yay for Spring Break.  I think everyone is ready for a break.  Since we are now on Spring Break we had to celebrate St. Patrick's Day this week.  Here are some of the activities I did.

First we made Rainbow Wreaths.  The kiddos used watercolors to paint a rainbow circle.  Then they colored and cut 4 clovers and added them to the wreath.

Next we made Lucky Leprechaun Rainbow Hats.

We worked on decomposing numbers. (A common core standard)

8+2=10

5+5=10

The we completed the Pot of Gold Decomposing number page.

Next we made these fun Fruit Loop Rainbows.  The kiddos LOVED doing this activity!!

Next we made Rainbow Hats.

We decorated Styrofoam cups in hopes that the Lucky Leprechaun would shrink them.

The Lucky Leprechaun even shrunk my hat!!

My kiddos really enjoyed all these activities.  I think they have a great week before Spring Break!!

I hope you have a Wolfelicious week!  Let me know if you need any Jamberry!!

Jamberry Giveaway

Jamberry Giveaway!

Have you heard of Jamberry nails?

If not, let me tell you they make your nails look like they could be on Pinterest. 

I love getting pedicures since I wear flip flops everyday.  I had found out about Gel Nails and I was hooked.  I loved how long they lasted.  Believe me, I would stretch it till 2 months.  I hated how they would use the electric file and file my toenails down.  I asked them if they could skip this step and they told me no.  I hated all the damage they caused my toenails and to my wallet!  Getting Gel Nails was super expensive.  I mean, as a teacher, I don't have extra cash floating around.

When I heard about Jamberry nails I was excited!  I checked out the website and I was HOOKED!  100% nontoxic, won't damage my nails, and they won't damage my wallet.  They are like special little stickers that stay on your nail.  They are easy to apply and they make   your nails look like they could be on Pinterest.  Just apply heat and pressure.

Once I put on my first set I fell in love with them.  They were super easy to apply and lasted 2 weeks.  Yes, I said 2 weeks.  And that is changing numerous diapers and teaching all day.  Needless to say, I use my hands a lot.  

I would love to give you a chance to win Jamberry nails for yourself so you can try them out!  A half sheet is enough to do 1 complete manicure and 1 pedicure.  A Jamberry manicure usually lasts 2 weeks and a pedicure lasts up to 6 weeks!
