Loving my Word Fluency Charts. Kids are thinking and constructing connections. I like to leave one up all week and give them time to ponder...

Summer Science and Creativity Camp
Happy Summer! For the past eleven years I've taught a summer science and creativity camp. My partner in this adventure is a wonderful 4th grade teacher who thinks and acts like me. Oh No! All kidding aside, we have such a great time. This week is the week we've set aside for our 5 and 6 year olds. They're wonderful and full of intrigue. Tomorrow's art exhibit at a local eatery will be their culminating experience. Cant' wait!

Kandinsky Inspired Ladybugs!
Cycles and Patterns can be found in the natural world. The kid version was so much better than mine. We made connections with cycles that were natural and manmade. This particular project is also a Glyph! The number of dots represents the child's age. The type of leg was based on their likes or dislikes of bugs. Yay for Research Skills! First Grade is gathering information. Just posted the supporting documents on Teachers Pay Teachers. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Kandinsky-Inspired-Ladybug-Glyph
