Tunstall's Teaching Tidbits

Teaching with Heart and Creativity

Bulletin Boards & BFFs

Let’s start with Bulletin Boards!  I did mine today because progress reports were due….so I put that off and focused on something that makes me WAY HAPPIER!

 
We have had fraction mania for the last two weeks in my room.  
I put a few of each little activity that we have done together on our bulletin board.
I used two activities of Amy Lemmons. (Thanks Amy!)
Fraction Pizza
The Fraction Sort came out of The Teacher Wife’s Unit
I also used my 
The M&M fraction activity was the perfect after lunch dessert activity!
When I walked outside my room my teacher teamie was putting up her Rock Buddies and rock writing from my Rockin Rocks unit!  How exciting is that! It made my day!  
We are making ours tomorrow after we write!
———————————subject change!————————-
We have new best friends. 
Yesterday we painted our pet rocks!

When the paint came out the room got really quiet and serious.  
They were intense.  
 Some of them may have a future in fashion and hair styling.  

This little sweetie had some anxiety
She is all about extensions

Some of them talked to their clients   best friends   pet rocks while they styled them and others just worked intently and then took all their pet rock’s cash while they were still on a style high.

We also finished our Sylvester and The Magic Pebble Unit today.  I gave them their magic pebble and told them to write a story about how they found it and what they would wish for.  They did a fabulous job!  They were SO excited about their magic pebble.  (Wal-mart red vase stones)

    12. Cute, cute, cute!

      I am sure I have asked you this before but how can y'all teach about writing fractions??!!??? That is a big NO NO for us since it is not one of our TEKS and is a 2nd grade TEKS!!!

      We have to stick to the fraction sentences _____ out of _____ are _____.

      It is always interesting to see what other districts across Texas expect! =)
