Top o' the Mornin'

 

St. Patrick's Day is a HUGE deal around here on the southside of Chicago. It feels like the celebrations start on March 1st and runs through March 31st. It's never ending. Here is one of my favorite writing activities we do every year. The kids write about their lucky day.

This is a new one we did this year. The kids wrote about what they would do if they found a pot of gold. I love their answers - buy a castle or spend all the money in Disney World. This project is from Molly over at Lucky to be in First. She has a ton of awesome projects on her TPT sight. 

 

We've also been working on Dr. Seuss projects this week too. My firsties can't get enough of his stories. We went ahead and made these cute cupcakes for him and we listed our favorite Dr. Seuss books on the hats. They turned out really cute. I found these cute cupcakes from Linda Kamp on TPT. Check her out.

 

And finally, this boards sums it up in a nutshell. My favorite second grade teacher came up with this board for our hallway. It's adorable and sooooo true.  

So, the weekend is just around the corner and hopefully so is a little warmer weather so our lovelies can get outside to burn off all their cooped up energy!!

Luck of the Irish

Okay, if you are from the Chicago area you know how important St. Patrick's Day is. It is, as alot of folks say, THE only holiday of the year. We tend to love this day. On March 17th everyone (Irish or not) is considered Irish and the wear'in of the green is crazy. Here is the first of a few projects we do in my classroom. The children wrote about a day they were lucky. They were a riot. You would think they would all write about the day they went to Disney World or when their new brother or sister was born. But, no, they had different ideas. Some of them were, when they got Legos for their birthday, when a friend came over and better yet, when their brother didn't bug them. Cute, huh! This goes to show how innocent they really are. 
Tomorrow is Dr. Seuss's birthday and I have a few things planned. I would really like to thank all the great teachers out there in blog world for sharing their awesome Seuss ideas. It's always fun to get and try out new ideas.  Thanks for stopping by!
