Year End Happenings

Last Week of School Activities

School is almost done and this week has been a busy one. We got rained out today, so Beach Day didn't happen, but we had a Movie afternoon so the kids were happy.

This week I have been doing review in Language Arts and Math through games. My kids think they are in a new class. They can't believe that they get to "play" all day. I have so many games, that there were many they had never seen before, so they were excited to get their hands on them.
Check out the pictures below.

I discovered that I had several different Memory games as well as enough board games to partner up the students and still have some left over.

I forgot to take pictures of the Math games and some of the other Language Arts games that we did the next day.

We also had a couple of class movies, one on Friday, and one yesterday. The first one was Ramona and Beezus. My boys were not too happy because they thought of it as a girl's movie, but once they started watching it, they didn't want it to end.
The second one was more for the boys. it was Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The girls weren't impressed at first, but again they couldn't stop watching once it got started.

Math Fun

Today we did Math review of addition and subtraction, counting money, and telling time. I used the QR Codes Math Fun Bundle from Flapjack Educational Resources. I didn't get any pictures because my phone was being used for scanning the codes. I have never seem my kids work so fast. They wanted to get their hands on the scanners so they could check out their answers. People were surprised by how focused they were.

Student Gift Bags

Last night I put together my year end gift bags for my class. I gave them each a book from Scholastic on Friday, but I made up a little goodie bag as well. Check it out below. It has some of the things they might need to be ready for Canada Day.
