More life science visuals

Here are my recent creations

I decided on 6 major biomes to choose and created this visual

The top are 8 1/2 x 11 size each letter and the bottom is one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet 

The flow of energy visual vocab

We made long yellow strips of food chains into a sun since the sun is our main source of energy that flows through each animal. 

Here are some additional visual vocabulary

More science visuals per a request :)

More visuals!!!!

Forms of energy examples are endless. Here is a simple poster I created for my students for picture examples.

Light energy is a huge topic! Here are some visuals I have in my classroom to help my students remember! 

better pictures to come :)

Here are some more I recently did this year just from the board. I haven created a classroom poster yet. 

The squiggly lines represent the definition or description we write out to the side. 

A spin off of the game Twister for the classroom

I taught some very active 1st graders last summer. I have been thinking of active games I played as a child and made them educational. Here is what I'm dod with my first graders in summer school who were practicing on blends, dis graphs, and chunking. Here is a collage below. The top left uses the ziploc quilt idea found everywhere on Pinterest to display work but this is another way to use it too! 

Supplies: open house/meet the teacher/first week of school

Here are some organization ideas for supplies your first week of school.

They (and sometimes siblings younger and older) are using sorting skills, problem solving skills, and most importantly they do most of the work and your don't have to! This also is modeling and showing organizational skills.

Happy Birthday 115!!!

The article and video from CNN about 115!
Today my class celebrated a birthday... the birthday of a new element on the periodic table! As the CNN article and video shows the element 115 nicknamed "Ununpentium" for now. 
Since at birthday parties there is usually cake, cookies, or cupcakes I brought a brownie cake and each of my students got a small piece of brownie to celebrate.

Their (there?) where (were?) you're (your?) going to? huh?

Well I was helping a friend with grammar (funny, I know!), especially with homonyms. I thought of where being a place and then noticed that there is the word "here" inside where and there. Since they are all places I decided to show this visually and of course my mind just started going crazy with ideas as usual!

Along with the difference of were and we're.

This would be a great visual for the wall or inside journals, as shown here folded up on a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of computer paper.

I also showed the difference of you're, you are, they're, and they are using a flip up sheet that was taped down. Notice the colors and which letters are which colors.

Next I decided to show a visual for their. My mom helped me with "heir" and their so this is what I came up with for my visual to go along with the princess, king, queen, theme I started with.

On the left is my original and then (I am not perfect.... ha) my boyfriend Steven noticed I spelled throne wrong and left out "to." So of course my creative mind started turning again cause I wasn't about to redraw the whole thing again! This is when I decided to make a 3-D gold colored throne.

Until another idea pops into my head.
