patterning with monsters
Syllable counting...this is included in my Monster's TpT Unit
We sorted M's and not M's...funny how they turned some of the W's to be M's...SMART!
(this activity is in the Monster Unit)
We listened for beginning sounds...If it started with /m/ it got a smiley, if not it got a frowny
this is included in the unit
Here we practiced recognizing Mm and writing Mm by tracing the letter...
I think lowercase m will win
(this is included in the unit)
We have a pocket chart story every week. Throughout the year they include most of our sight words and get harder over time...this week they practiced the word AM and color words.
(this is included in the unit)
practicing sight words...this activity is in the unit as well.
We are still working on recognizing numbers to 6...these roll and dot games really help!
(this is in the unit)
Practicing one-to-one and writing numbers.
(this is in the unit)
We measured monsters with cubes
(it's in the unit)
These are our unfinished monster glyphs....we have to add the nose
But they're cute huh?
Our cookie monsters sorted shape cookies..I LOVE how cute these turned out!
We are using Kim Jordano's poetry journal for our letter poems each week. This is our M poem. We have a journal where we find the M's and such. My student teacher is making me a set of all of the poetry cards and they are too cute!
We finished our Pete's and they turned out adorable. This came from Deanna's Pete the Cat packet.
We are having our monster mash tomorrow so I'll post a few pictures then.
I love all of your monsters... so very cute!!

This is amazing. I'm completely inspired. I just am heading off to buy the Monster Unit...wow.
ReplyDeleteSuch creativity - what lucky little monsters you have! Do you know the book I Need My Monster by Amanda Noll? Your kids would L.O.V.E. it! Flashlight Press put it out last year and it's about a kid whose monster leaves to go fishing, so he interviews some other monsters but none of them stacks up. It'd be perfect for this unit or center! Enjoy the monster mash.

Your blog is FABULOUS! Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love the big pie graphs you do with the kids!
ReplyDeleteThis may be a silly question, but how do you make the cute pie graphs, and then how do you go about doing it with the kids?

Hi Julie! LOVE this theme! Going to purchase it too! I also was wondering how you do the pie chart with your class? What size paper do you use? Do you cut out brown and white circles and then cut pieces? Just wondering how you get the pieces to all fit together? :)
ReplyDeleteYou have such awesome ideas! I sent the 'I Heart Your Blog' award your way!
