SKITTLE FUN

Geocities.com has a really cute rainbow skittle graph worksheet. I ended up just using a basic bar graph.

Skittle sort, graph, and count

I passed out skittles to all my kids and told them that they each get ONLY ONE skittle. I purposely put 2 skittles in a few hands. After everyone received one, I asked "did everyone get ONE skittle" they all replied YES! I repeated myself and said " I just want to make sure everyone ONLY got ONE skittle" I had one child say "Mrs. Nathalie, you accidently gave me TWO" and the other two children closed their hands quickly and thought I wouldn't notice.

Of course, I asked for all of them to show me their skittle and let me check , one more time. The two other children were a little embarrassed that they didn't "tell the truth". We had a long discussion about the importance of being honest.

Before the end of class I had another TEST. I had them all turn around and close their eyes. I said "whoever I tap on the shoulder get the WHOLE bag of SKITTLES". I had them all turn around and stand up if they were the "chosen one".

All my kids were honest and a little sad that it wasn't them. I gave them all another skittle for being HONEST!

Dr. Seuss- Green Eggs and Ham

Snack

I decided to do a dessert green eggs and ham. We used lime sherbet with whip cream for the "egg" and a small piece of a granola bar for the "ham".

YUMMY!

Dr. Seuss- Cat in the Hat

Wear a Hat Day

Language Arts

I found this worksheet on A to Z teacher stuff. I modified it for my students who were still learning letter sounds. I asked them what the picture on the paper was, and they replied a hat. I then proceeded by asking them what rhymes with hat, most of my students said cat; therefore I only had them trace/write Hat & Cat.
