Visual Plans for the Week of 4/21/14 – Robots!

This week is Robot Week!   Our robot projects are due on Tuesday.  Our robot sharing party is on Friday.   This will cumulate our week of robot themed centers.   The parents come in for the sharing party.  It is a cute and easy way to get parents into the classroom.  The students are so proud of their robot projects.  You can check out my robot packet by clicking below.
Here are my plans for the week.  Click to download.

This week, we are going to plant some seeds.  We keep a little journal of our seeds progress using my plant packet.   The students love recording their seeds growth.  I think it is so cute that they want to check their seeds about an hour after we plant them for some growth!

We are continuing our Weather Unit.  I am utilizing Jodi Southard’s packet and A Cupcake for the Teacher’s packet.  Click the covers to check them out.

   
Happy Teaching!

    Erica, I just found your blog today and became a follower. I LOVE the idea of doing a whole robot week! I have a little boy who suggested that I dress up like a robot, and then he would tell ME what to do all day. 🙂 When I find a robot costume, I will be sure to post pictures.

First grade classroom favorites from Amazon! 1. Th First grade classroom favorites from Amazon!
1. These little pastel trays for crayons.  My students put the trays on their desks when they are coloring and no more crayons rolling all over the place.
2. The furniture gliders.  Your custodians will thank you!
3. Color ribbons to make finding Chromebooks quicker.
4. A clean white computer cart that has multiple shelves and an open back for all the wires.
5. The MVP of laminators, this Swingline laminator never lets me down.
6. A wipes container because I want to label everything and keep the sink area looking neat.
7. These super strong magnet clips.  I use them for so many things.  I even clip them to the underside of the blinds to hold a line to display work.
8. These school supplies Palm Pals and my trusty teacher toolbox.

Teacher truth: class sizes matter to both students Teacher truth: class sizes matter to both students and teachers. 

It is a Sunday night and I am at home prepping for the week.  As a 25 year veteran teacher, I should have everything done.  I should be able to get everything done at school but I can’t.  Maxed out classes sizes mean that I can get much less prepping done during my preps. 

If you are a tired and frustrated teacher of a maxed out class.  I hear you and am right there with you.
