The Great POTATO Race
I’m so excited for St. Patty’s day tomorrow. J
Ms. Lochridge’s from First Grade Factory just shared this idea with me. I quickly created this sheet to use tomorrow. You create a ramp in your classroom and race several potatoes. Record the results and discuss. Thought you might want a copy.
Hope you all have a Lucky day!

Diggin' Up Some Soil
We are preparing for a Unit on Soil. I’m trying to come up with some ideas . . . I want to create a soil layer jar.
I am also having each child bring in a Soil Sample from their back yard. Once everyone brings there sample to school I’m going to have the student’s use magnifying glasses to exam the soil. I created this sheet for the students to record their results.
I’m still deciding what else I want to do.
Does anyone else have any great ways they teach soil in their classroom?

Little Explorers Addition
We are getting ready to start a Unit on Explorers. We are going to be reading stories about Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed.
Our math focus is Addition; some of my students are still struggling with Counting On. I created this math sheet to help the students practice.
I also created an Addition Match-Up game to go with the unit!!
St. Patty's Day Potato Person
This week to celebrate St. Patty's day a little early we read this book:
My students loved this book!!
Jamie O'Rourke is the laziest man in all of Ireland. But will his luck change when he finds a Leprechaun? The Leprechaun gives him a magic potato seed. His wife is not too impressed that he got a seed instead of the pot of gold . . . but will the seed actually be BETTER than a pot of gold?
After reading the book we created these adorable Potato People!! The students loved it!! Hope you can use this in your classroom this week!
