Happy Chinese New Year and Share the Love {Valentine Giveaway}


Today we celebrated Chinese New Year in our class and we did a lot of studying about the history of Chinese New Year!!!  We started the day with a Chinese New Year word search for morning work.  The kids loved all the New Year's Words...

After lunch we read some fun books about Chinese New Year and made our Dragon Headbands.

                    

The headbands turned out so cute! Check them out:

Hooray for Groundhog's Day!!!

Well today super busy...we worked so hard making predictions about that little special groundhog Phil! This morning we listened to some fun Groundhog songs we found on YouTube. Then we read some good books and did our writing craftivity!  The kiddos wrote about what they thought the groundhog would do when he came out of his burrow! 
Check it out below!


You can download this fun craftivity in my Hooray, It's Groundhog's Day {Mini Learning Unit} at my TpT Store.  Just click on the link below!


Later, we spent some time making our predictions on the Mimio.  The vote stayed close the entire time.  As the students made their prediction on whether, Yes Phil will see his shadow or No Phil will not see his shadow, the class made tally marks on their Groundhog's Day Graph.  Check it out below!



They did an amazing job tallying as each student went up to make their prediction! 
What hard working first graders I have!










 

Here are the books we loved to read today!  Happy Groundhog's Day...
