Happy first Friday in May!!! :O)
We are working on our ABC Countdown to 5th grade and on Monday we had Imagination Day. We had this tic-tac-toe board that students could choose from:
They had a lot of fun!!
We also worked this week, in math, on reviewing area and perimeter. I gave the students 1-cm grid paper and gave them a task. I tried to get them to make an arena (Area Arena...for alliteration, of course) but they did not want to do that. :O( They wanted to create their dream home and yard. So, I gave into them. :O)
Here are some examples of their maps. They had to draw it, color it, find the area, find the perimeter, and if it wasn't labeled, make a key.
I had my students create Ecosystem Mini Books as a way to evaluate what they had learned during the unit. They did a fabulous job! If you would like to make these, they are only $2.00 in our store.
I have some true artists in my room! :)
Okay, I have to share my new double scalloped sparkly daisy frames I made. I am really proud of these! :) There are 14 clear background frames and 14 white background frames. I LOVE that they look so Springy and Cheerful!
And last but not least, some Sparkly Chevron Papers! Can you tell I like sparkle??? Hehehe........I am just having so much fun making all of these. :)
*Okay, and here is the Special HAPPY FRIDAY deal! If you buy one set of clipart from us, you can get one free (of equal or lesser value)!!!

It must be the time of year for Geometry! I just blogged about a Surface Area lab that my students completed this week. I made Nets out of boxes. They had a blast!
