We're feelin' LUCKY!!!

This week at OLP we are learning all about St. Patrick's Day.  We created "Lucky Shamrock Gardens", where the students created a "garden" and wrote about things that they feel lucky to have...


We read MANY  books about St. Patrick's Day:
And used our new knowledge to create can/has/is charts about St. Patrick's Day:


In math, we reviewed adding by working in partners where we each got a turn to roll a dice, and then used the numbers to create addition sentences:
We also reviewed what we know about money and how to create a bar graph.  Students used a paperclip to create a "spinner", and then graphed which coin they spun.  They then analyzed the information by answering questions based on their graphs:
For grammar practice this week, we review how to properly use "I" in a sentence.  We practicing the rule that "I" is always capitalized.  The students completed a cut/sort/glue/color activity where they had to distinguish between a "correct" sentence and "not correct" sentence:


Then, we took all of the "not correct" sentences, and re-wrote them properly:

  1. I loved everything about this lesson. I'm such a stickler for correct grammar, and your students are off to a great start. The "lucky" spin of the coin is a awesome lesson on math ratios and graphs. You are the best teacher ever!!! (In my little girl's voice) Lol
