Word Work and O, P, Q, R, & S!

Learning is often disguised as play in our classroom. What better way to engage these kids? Look at the engaging ways we reviewed our words this week:

Head Hunters
Each student sticks a spelling word to their noggin'. Everyone receives a chart with all of the classmates' names. Then off they go, recording the spelling words stuck to their friends' heads in their chart!

Roll and Read
Find a buddy or play alone!  Roll the dice and read any word from the row you rolled!

Shaving Cream
Always a hit! Spread it on our desk and get spelling! Bonus? Our desks are fresh after!

Our ABC Countdown continues!

Oo - Oreo Races and One Hundred's Chart Tic Tac Toe

Kids opened up their Oreo cookie, licked it, and stuck it to their foreheads. Then, without using their hands, students wiggled, squinted, and smooshed their facial muscles around to try and get that cookie to move into their mouths. 

Students were partnered up and received a blank 100's chart. Using two different colours, students tried to fill in the numbers on the chart ... three in a row! 

P - Paper Airplanes and Puzzles
We watched a super YouTube on how to make a simple airplane! The we got busy folding and throwing! The planes were an absolute blast!

Puzzles were a welcome way to use up our remaining energy!

Q - Quiet Time in the Chapel
We ended a busy day with quiet prayer and reflection as a little classroom community. We love our Chapel!

R - Rock Paper Scissors
We enjoyed a fantastic book and tackled a rock paper scissors tag game!

S - Sunglasses and Sun Safety
We wore our sunnies while learning about keeping safe in the sun!

So ... T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z? That's it? Only 7 more days? Sniff. We are sure to be savoring the last few days together.
