March events

We're celebrating International Reading Month at my school, and one thing the teachers are doing is decorating our doors. After everyone has their doors done, I'll take pictures of all the rest to share. What I've seen so far is Awesome!

For now, mine:

I gave them a few favourites to choose from, and I hyped this one up a bit more before we voted and this book was chosen. I had the students each make a cookie for the door, and chose a few to paint the mouse I'd traced on the overhead.

I also decided to share pictures of my kids reading on my outside bulletin board:

I don't know if you can tell, but each paper is folded and popped off the wall for a 3D effect.

And finally, since it's March and St. Patrick's day is next week, we made these Pots of shiny gold at the end of the rainbow:

Saskatchewan Roughriders!

To make our 100th day activities even crazier, it was also the day our school was honoured with a whirlwind visit from this years grey cup champions, the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Our school was a sea of green all day as students and staff all wore green in their honour.

Our buddy class made this poster for the two team members who came to the school with the cup. Instead of taking it, they signed it!

Here's one of them with the cup!

And here's the room of four classes (they were running short of time, so instead of the two classes per room as planned, they grabbed the last room of kids and put them in here with us. You can see a bunch of my favourite staff members taking pictures of the cup. Their pictures are WAY better than mine.

We managed to get my daughters shirt signed!

What an awesome memento for her when she's older wherever we're living then.

Our 100th day (week) activities

You guys probably already celebrated your 100th day long before now, but ours was on Tuesday. I'm going to share with a you some of he things we did this week

On Tuesday I covered our door with this large sheet of paper and wrote Happy 100 on it. They had to crawl through the second 0. If I had time, I'd have painted it, but the kids don't know what they were missing, and were obsessed with crawling in and out of it all day.

see?

We stacked 100 books (mostly phonics and easy readers for guided reading).

We counted 100 cereal and strung them on twine to make our 100th day necklaces (next year fruit loops)

I wrote 100 words from our Jolly phonics and together we blended/read them

Pairs of students counted out ten rows of ten blocks and then made things out of them.

 Like this cat!

How long is 100? It's almost as long as from our door to the grade two bulletin board. We cut out ten of each colour of paper.

We made giant posters.

Group one made a giant rainbow chip cookie (100 chips)

 Group two made a giant Superhero cape (100 lightnings)

 Group three made a giant kite (100 bows)

We ended the weeks activities with these 100 art projects. Here are a few cute samples: 

Two superheros!

 A giraffe

 A dinosaur

 A boy

Happy 100th day, hope you're inspired!

Next year? Superhero colours

Am I the only weirdo already thinking about changes to her classroom for next year?

I just designed these posters I loaded to TPT to help with colours for next year.

They're all boy heroes, but I'm thinking of also making a set with girls and a bundle to mix them up, what do you think? I like them the way they are right now, but I'll gladly make more if you want them!
