Election Week - Hodgepodge Visual Plans

Hey Y'all!!

Here are THIS week's lesson plans...

(remember to download the lesson plans, and then click the pictures in the PDF and it'll take you to the product - freebie or TpT - link!)

(I realize while doing these plans that I LOVE my bloggy friends!! I have gotten so many wonderful ideas from the blogging community, which is why I'm sharing the wonderful-ness!)

It's kind of a hodge-podge week...with themes and such.  I'm doing a lot of Election activities, and finishing up Halloween, with some Super-Hero things thrown in...I don't know how that happened, but I like it! ha!

Here is this week's center menu....

(all of these links are in the lesson plans when you download them,

(freebie adjectives/inferencing activity!)

(this sight word activity is a freebie, although I realize you may not need the same words I'm doing this week - but maybe you can use it)

(freebie writing)

The writing activity is inspired by my friend Lori's writing activities - I have a few of her packs (because she's like the writing guru for K-2 in my humble opinion), so I asked her if I could use it for my Veteran themed writing, and she said SURE!
So make sure you go visit her and check out her PHENOM stuff!

(freebie adding tens)

So...

Let me do a recap of last week...

If you saw my LAST WEEK'S plans, things changed a little...

First off, we FINALLY finished bats!

Just LOOK at that circle map!!

To end it, they had to tell me at least 3 facts - USING correct punctuation and organization. UGH! My kids KNOW how to write a sentence, but when it comes to a paragraph??? They forget how and where to end a sentence!

They did AWESOME on their Monster comparison - and it was independent work at their centers! YES!

(Go to last week's post to get the freebie!)

Something I added to the mix was Kelley's Pumpkin adjectives...

I had every intention of making one myself, BUT, as I sat down to make it, I saw that she JUST posted hers...so I thought since she already did it, why not just use hers?? And it's FAB!

Here they are working in groups do describe their pumpkins (we had already done 2 together)

THEN, for the 4th pumpkin that they described, we read...

FILLED with adjectives...

Then, they made their pumpkins (activity from Kelley's pack)

Not all of them are finished, I'll show more next week...

And we STARTED our Habitat activities

Here they are SILENTLY finding their habitat matches...

This week, they'll be designing their own habitat sale ad - FINALLY!

And I have to show you...

Last week, we went to the pumpkin patch with some of my Mommy friends...

WOWWY!!

Holy children, Batman!!!
