I finished all my holiday themed activities and we're starting a new unit on Communities. I started working on my unit and just finished the vocabulary posters. Being a special education teacher I always try to create vocabulary posters with pictures to help the children to make connections and remember the definitions.

My kiddies did a great job and learned so many strategies to help remember those division facts. With my students having special needs I always look for creative ways to help them visualize and develop math strategies. Last week we worked on divided by 6 and I used half dozen egg cartons to divide large numbers into equal groups. The kids loved it.</span></span><br />

Here are a few pictures of how I post and list my spelling words for the week. I have two different spelling groups that were developed using the Words Their Way Spelling Assessment. I have a small class of only 9 children so it worked out where I have two different spelling groups. Each group is colored coded. We use the same High Frequency spelling words. I print out the word on paper, cut them, and glue them on index cards. Off course, I laminate them for use next year (if I'm still teaching the same grade which I HOPE!). Being a special education teacher we tend to move around depending on placements. Here are some pics! <br />

However we did have some time to make some cool butterflies last week to launch our butterfly unit! We used the butterflies to decorate our door. They came out really cool. I got some tissue paper and pipe cleaner to make the creative bugs. <br />

Does anybody else have any cool door designs?<br />
<br />
<br />
Earth Day was also another excuse to do some fun activities so I found a cute activity by Amy Lemons for Earth Day. She comes up with the coolest activities and simple enough for my kiddies to do. Modifications and adaptations is the story of my classroom with my students, but she always creates activities that are fun, challenging, and engaging that my kids can complete with little support.<br />

I decided to give them a break and do some fun St. Patty's activities. They get a break and I get to decorate my room with some rainbows and pots of gold. We read the story Jamie O'Rourke and the Big Potato by Tomie dePaola. The children loved this story. Specifically when Jamie found the Leprechaun. I had my class make connections to the text by asking them, "What would you do if you found a Leprechaun with a pot of gold?" The end product came out really cute. <br />

I also stumbled across this shamrock activity by Mrs. Zrihen at <a href="http://www.ateacherstreasure.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">A Teacher's Treasure</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"> </span></span>while blog stalking. She created a shamrock craftivity using a KWL chart. My kiddies loved it! Before reading a story about St. Patricks Day we filled in what we know and what we want to know about St. Patrick's Day. I was surprised to see how much my children knew and how much I didn't know! I learn too when I teach :) . Anyway, we then completed the L-learn part of the chart and cut out the craftivity. She originally used four parts, KWHL, but I decided to modify it to fit the needs of my class. Our shamrocks came out amazing.

I used geo-boards this last week to implement a hands on approach to teach Congruence with plane figures. They loved it! They did not want to put these boards down. We also made similar shapes as well. I purchased these from Lakeshore Learning website.

I love it when I'm teaching and I learn something new as well. <i><b>Amy Lemons</b></i> embodies the word creativity. She came up with these cool activities that were fun and easy for the children in my class to complete after learning about African American Heroes. Since then I've been a follower of her site. Here are a few pics of what my kiddies did. Enjoy!<br />

This past month we've been working on multiplication and my kiddies have been doing a great job. Next week we will be starting division, however they still need that old school drill and practice everyday. I've decided to make March Multiplication centers with a St. Patricks Day theme. Please click the link to purchase on my TpT webpage. Enjoy!!!<br />
