A Hatched Cocoon!

I brought the cocoons home over Spring Break and woke up this morning to see that one of them hatched. It hasn't moved too much yet, but I am excited to continue watching it grow.

Cocoons

After watching them for a week, they got fat! Then we came back to school after a weekend and the caterpillars were gone! They became cocoons.

Butterflies!

We ordered butterflies a few weeks ago and have been watching them grow and change. When we got them in the mail, they were skinny caterpillars.

ABCs and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Here is my podcast of my students saying the ABCs and reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin. Click HERE to view my podcast.

Final iMovie

Here is my final iMovie. This is a movie of my students showing that they know their ABC's. We started reading "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" by Bill Martin at the beginning of the school year. This is how we introduced letters and began to teach them. The students often ask if we can read the story, or watch the video. The beginning of the movie shows a letter that the students colored, then them saying a word that starts with that letter. They really enjoyed helping their teacher with her homework.

My Favorite Podcast

My favorite iTunes podcast is Nickjr: Dora. I have been looking through the podcasts for a few days now and I have found a few that are interesting to me, but my students will LOVE this podcast. I can't wait to show them! I haven't watched all the episodes yet, but in April we will be learning about animals. One of the episodes that I did get to see is the Animal ABC's. Instead of saying the letter, they say the name of an animal.

Teachertube.com - My Favorite Video

My favorite teachertube.com video was the Top Ten List of Things You Do Not Learn About Teaching in College. This was my favorite video because several of the comments were very true. My favorite comment was about the principal's office still being scary. I get chills down my back each time I get called in there!
