Wacky Wednesday

Here at OLP, today was "Wacky Wednesday", and boy did we have a CRAZY day!!!  First, all of the teachers played a joke on the students by switching which class they would be teaching...so the "new" First Grade teacher was: MRS. KELLY!!!!  The students came into the class to not only find a "new" teacher, but that there were 18 wacky things different in the classroom.  The first "assignment" of the day, was to find something that was "wacky" and put a post-it on it...Juliana figured Mrs. Kelly as the last wacky thing in the class...too funny!!!!

  Our best "Dr. Seuss" characters...HYS.TER.I.CAL!!!!

 

 

We used Dr. Seuss' "Mr. Brown can MOO! Can you?" to learn all about ONOMATOPOEIA.  We listed all of the "sound words" that Dr. Seuss used in the book on an anchor chart.  Then, we created our own sentence using one ONOMATOPOEIA word:

 We also used Dr. Seuss' book "Green Eggs and Ham" to review what we have learned about CONTRACTIONS.  We created an anchor chart of contraction words that we found in the book.  We also completed a contraction match of green eggs and ham.  Then, the students had to come up with an idea of a food that they WOULDN'T eat.  We wrote and illustrated a book based on that wacky food combination...some funny combinations were:

purple tuna, yellow snow (lol), blue rice, pink tomatoes, blue fish...just to name a few!!!!

It was a WACKY, FUN-FILLED day!!!
