The Sweet Life of Third Grade. Valentine's Day Interactive Games and Activities. Here are some Valentine's Day themed interactive games, activities, and project ideas that you can use in your classroom for learning and for fun: Word Hearts: Use this tool to fill the heart shape with the word(s) of your choice. Then change your fonts, color, shape, and background. Heart Writing: Type or copy/paste your text into the text box. Then choose your font and font size. The writing will transformed into a heart shape that you can print or save. Voki Talking Avatars: Choose a holiday themed Valentine's avatar then give it a voice by typing text, recording audio, uploading an audio file, or recording by phone.
Valentine Word Drop: Unscramble the words before they hit the ground. This is like Lemonade Stand, just Valentine themed. The Inspired Apple. Adjective Activities. Oh my goodness... this week has been busy, busy AND it's only Tuesday! We have been hard at work on learning/using adjectives. So, I wanted to show you some of the activities we have done, and others that I have planned for the remainder of the week We read a book called, "If I were an Adjective" and made an anchor chart that we will refer to all week! Yesterday, I put 4 items in the classroom (1 on each table) and had the kiddos use adjectives to describe each item. I just chose things I had from around the room- skittles, a crazy hat, beach ball, and a souvenir from one of my vacations.
Today, we used adjectives to describe ourselves! Tomorrow, we will use these sentences to sort regular adjectives, comparative adjectives, and proper adjectives. Click {HERE} to download the sentences (there are more in the document than what I have posted here) And, we will use this simple chart to sort: Here are some things I found from pinterest that we are going to make and describe! What the Teacher Wants! Abbreviations Match-Up, the solar system, and a new website! Label Love. These crazy, unorganized, messy, embarrassing baskets full of "stuff"-mostly crafts- finally got on my last nerve y'all!
I couldn't take it anymore so.... I went out to Big Lots and bought a ton of these organizational babies....love me some plastic containers!!! I seriously had an adrenaline rush when buying so many at once! I knew it was worth every bit of my personal moola! What would go perfect with them?!?!?.... I laminated, cut out, and glued the sweet labels on the containers. OMG!! They look so happy in my cabinet!!! Want the labels for your stuff?!?! Hope everyone is having an awesome week so far....only 3 more Tuesdays for me before summer....woooohoooo!!!
Writing. Hi friends. Maybe you remember me? I’m the girl who used to be semi good about blogging here at The First Grade Parade. Is anybody there? I’m convinced no one reads blogs anymore…or maybe just that no one reads this one. I’m sure it doesn’t help when I don’t post for a month :) Living in a small little town means that sometimes you don’t have internet access…for extended periods of time…even when you call your provider and practically beg for them to restore your service.
So I enjoyed the temporary lapse in blogging. I was terrible about taking my camera to school this last month, so ignore the quality of some of these pictures. Right after my last post, we celebrated Halloween at school. Each of my kids got a “Franken”line, a little Frank eraser {Target $1 spot….holla!} After we did this a few times, the kids recorded their work and then made their own little Frank as a visual connection. Moving right along… We started the month of November with a pumpkin week. Pumpkin pie.
