Cookie Graphing and Spring is in the Air

Who would've thought that the anticipation of Spring Break was just as wonderful as getting out for Christmas Break?  Just the thought of having a week off to *try* to do absolutely nothing makes me grin.  Here's what I plan on doing...staying in my pj's (for at least 3 of the days, haha), getting a few more units done (hopefully at least through May), and of course, catching up on some family time.  We just had the best weekend ever, just lounging around watching Disney movies!  I just <3 my little family!  If there are any units that you would like to see, just give me an idea of what you need and I'll add that to my list.  I love to do custom orders, so whatever you might need...just let me know.

We're just now finishing up our graphing unit in math and my kids just adored my cookie themed graphing activities, "Who Stole the Cookie?".  This unit contains full size posters to display while teaching, as well as 10 graphing activities for pictographs, bar graphs, and tally graphs.  Click HERE to preview each of the activities.

My class really enjoyed the "Soggy Cookies" graphing game where they pretended they were pulling cookies out of a glass of milk before it got soggy. 

 

I printed and laminated the cookies (from the graphing unit) and put a paperclip on each one.  I had them use a popsicle stick, fishing line, and a magnet to pull the cookies out of a container (to simulate a glass of milk).  Once they retrieved all of the cookies, they sorted them on the "Soggy Cookies" sorting mat, and then filled in a graph to display their data.  They talked about their graphs with their groups and answered various questions about their graph.

We have just 3 1/2 days left of school this week and then a 1/2 day professional development meeting on Friday before breaking for a week.  In anticipation of Spring break, I created this SPRING themed literacy center packet for your kids to enjoy!  I am IN LOVE with the glitter graphics and letters that I found from...Glitter Meets Glue Designs!!  Absolutely IN LOVE!!  I would probably put glitter and lamination on absolutely everything if I could!  lol.

**My health update: I recently started new meds to help ward off any seizures and my memory is about 99% back.  I'm happy with the results and am very lucky to have such a controllable diagnosis.  If you have no idea what I'm talking about, click HERE to view my past blog post.
