Projects, Projects, Projects!

Wow, been a few days since I blogged last.  I need to do better at this, but we have been busy!  We learned all about the water cycle (of course, the song as well!)

In honor of President's Day we did research on George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.  The students compared and contrasted all the facts to write a great report.  (I was really impressed by their work and effort.)

We celebrated Leap Day by making frogs.  On their tongues we wrote our doubles facts to 20 and on the back of the tongue we skip counted by 4.

And of course - we can't forget to honor the one and only Dr. Suess.  I completely stole all of this off of Fun-in-First-Grade (an awesome blog that you should totally check out.)  We read The Lorax and identified the story elements.  After that, we made environmental posters.

On top of all this we did a massive writing project about our favorite teacher and finished up a unit in Treasures (our reading series.)  I finished up having my observations by my principal and my evaluation (which went very well!)  Whew!  Goodbye February, Hello March.  It went so fast.
