No Worksheet Wednesday

I am linking up with Primary Chalkboard to share how I did No Worksheet Wednesday in my class. Now, let's be honest. I'm so guilty of using a worksheet or two or three when I need to get something done and I'd like them to be quiet. I am going to be better and do better (at least on Wednesdays :), that is)

When my students came in this morning they were greeted with a long piece of bulletin board paper full of markers. I had written a list of words on the SmartBoard and they were to sentences using those words. Very easy BUT they LOVED it!




We are currently studying measurement in math. I have been saving this activity for a YEAR!  The original person who came up with this idea is Kinder Mooney.  Each student partnered up and measured their partner with adding machine tape. They then colored the tape and we lined them up on our carpet from tallest to shortest. We hung them in the hallway and they look great!!



During writing we did a directed draw (which I do not have a picture of) of a cat and then wrote all about cats. Cats seems like a random topic but today we had our speech teacher come in and do a lesson on EET with my class. She taught them how to use "Eetchy". If you haven't heard of "Eetchy" you are missing out and maybe I should blog about that. I do however have a picture of our directed draw from First Grade Blue Skies that we did on Monday. I am loving the draw and then write!


This is our speech teacher explaining "Eetchy". 


Yall as if my day wasn't going awesome enough, we got a package in from GoNoodle!!  It was full of lanyards, stickers, tattoos, and coloring pages!

Science is the last hour of my day and we are learning about magnets. We made magnet mazes using a paper clip and then did some magnet painting. What an awesome day!

I cannot wait to read all about what everyone did on No Worksheet Wednesday!

Until next time,
