Saturday's Snapshots of the Week

Raise your hand if you are ready for Thanksgiving break?! Five letters summarize how I have been feeling lately: t-i-r-e-d! Is anyone else feeling this way? We had a great and busy week in Foxwell Forest this past week! I'm going to highlight just a few of the things we did in this weekend's feature of:

Here are some snapshots of what we did this week!

We celebrated the 50th day of school and thanks to Cara Carroll's amazing 50th day packet we had a blast making these cuties after we learned about life in the 1950's and then compared and contrasted it to life today:

Mr. ed and the Sting of ing paid us a special visit and introduced us to the -ed and -ing word endings! I made up these characters my first year of teaching: Mr. ed is old and talks in a old voice as he kicks the letters e and d at the end of a word when it happens in the PAST! The Sting of ing is young and talks very fast as he stings the end of a word with ing when the it is happening now! My kids L-O-V-E these guys! I also have created 2 songs for them that I hope to share with you soon! My kids have been singing the songs nonstop this week as they have been practicing reading and writing words with -ed and -ing.

I told the kids that Mr. ed and the Sting of Ing love to draw and made posters to help us remember what each of them mean. These fantastic posters are from The Teacher's Wife and if you don't have her ed and ing unit, you need to go buy it now! It's so good!

I also used the ing and ed room hunt from The Teacher's Wife ed/ing unit this week. The kids thought it was hilarious that Chunky Monkey had the word singing stuck to him! :)

I was so proud of my kids in their writing from my If a Turkey Could Talk... craftivity! They were so motivated as they wrote and the projects turned out great! I love how they make the hallway look so festive!

We only have 3 days of school next week and then it's Thanksgiving break! I'm working right now on some Christmas craftivities and math and literacy centers. I've been trying to get ahead and have them finished for a couple of weeks now, but life has been so busy! So {fingers crossed} I hope to have them finished and up on TPT before December hits!

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
