Learning to learn at home

Welcome to the world of learning at home!!  I know at my house, we have been working to get into the groove of school at home.  I think one of the hardest parts is discovering the right schedule and making sure that we get everything done!

Chris Van Dusen has been doing some great read alouds of his books.  You can find them him reading one of my favorites, Hattie and Hudson, by clicking right here.

If you want to practice your library shelving skills, try this shelving game on Mrs. Lodges Library blog!

What kinds of things have you been learning at home?  What have you been reading?  Let me know in the comments!!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Today in library we drew the Cat in the Hat, got to take silly pictures in the photobooth, read Dr. Seuss books, and played with Oobleck!  

Here are some of our cats...

I'll Huff, and I'll Puff, and I'll Blow Your House In!

The Three Little Pigs

Each student got a paper with a little pig on cardstock taped to it.  They got a bag of 9 Dots (I bought boxes of the candy at the Dollar Tree) and access to toothpicks.   The object was to build a house to withstand the huffing and puffing of the big bad wolf (a hairdryer.)

I set everything up before the students came in.  

1st grade students generally build buildings that went up...

Another 1st grade structure.

Kindergarten students built houses that weren't connected and they also weren't as successful.

Everybody had fun and this is definitely a project that I will do again in the future!
