\nHappy Saturday!\u00a0<\/div>\n
\nI’m just popping in to share two fun FREEBIES with ya’ll today.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis first one has been highly requested so let’s start off with a Science freebie<\/b>!<\/div>\n
\nWe’ve been learning all about Daily & Seasonal Changes <\/a>and had a bit of fun with this activity:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nI hand-drew these adorable little creatures based on one of Pixar’s animated short films, Day and Night<\/i>. If you’ve never seen it, check it out…it’s too cute!!<\/div>\n

\nWe watched this during our Daily & Seasonal Changes unit<\/a> in Science. One of the curriculum expectations is to understand that “changes occur in daily and seasonal cycles” by “assess(ing) the impact of daily and seasonal changes on living things.” This video sums up our learning PERFECTLY!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSo anyways, the kiddies could either choose a scene from the film or create their own scene depicting the differences between day and night and the various activities that can take place during each. Let me tell you, they were *all about* this activity.\u00a0<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nI use this last freebie during our descriptive writing unit<\/a> and the kids LOVE it! I’ve never seen them more engaged in a writing activity:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAfter reading one Robert Munsch’s (LOVE him!!)\u00a0<\/i>infamous books,\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nwe wrote down all the words we could think of to describe poor Thomas’ snowsuit. Then, we dragged our own snowsuits into the classroom to get to work! The kiddies got to colour their snowsuit first, and then we wrote our descriptive writing pieces to match.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n(UPDATED 15\/03\/2016:<\/b> this activity has since been updated and is now included in my Writing Focus #3: Descriptive Writing<\/a> pack)<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd if you haven’t yet noticed, we are already almost one full MONTH into 2014!! Which means love is in the air, and Valentine’s day is right around the corner! If you’re looking for some engaging and authentic literacy & literacy center activities for February, have a peek at my newest product:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n(To get a better description of what’s included, you can click the pic above or right\u00a0HERE<\/a>!)<\/i><\/div>\n

\nI hope you enjoy the freebies! Have a great weekend, everyone!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
