Freezing February

February was a crazy cold month here in Albertville. We had over a week of snow days in the month a February but teachers know that doesn't mean we lose a week of instruction. The days we were at school were filled with anything and everything we could possibly squeeze in within our 7 hours. Here are a few pictures of what February looked like in our classroom.

A Few Valentine's Activities

President's Day:

Pebblego.com is one of our favorite online resources to use when learning about nonfiction topics. We also read many books about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. As always we did a activity to show or recap what we had learning about each. (I forgot to snap pictures of these)

Martin Luther King Jr. Centers

This past week we spent our Social Studies time learning about Martin Luther King Jr. There are many weeks that I will choose do centers during this time. The kids enjoy working in small groups and rotating each day. So here is a peak at our Martin Luther King Jr. Centers:

Monday: Introduction

We watched a clip of Martin Luther King Jr. and his "I Have a Dream" speech. We also watch a informational powerpoint about his life. Each student had the choice to write an informational writing about MLKJ or write about their own personal dream. We posted them on our bulletin board along with a  MLKJ QR Code paper. The paper has links to videos and websites about MLKJ.
