Magnet boards

We use these magnet board for UFLI and they can be used for many other things.  These little square magnet letters are super easy to manipulate and you can have quite a few on the boards.  Students can easily move letters around to make words and when they move past that step, sentences.  Super economical, just some cookie sheets and then the letters. I think this is an essential item to add to my classroom wishlist.

Boo!

One of my field placement days fell on Halloween-I was nervous grade 1 on the afternoon of Halloween? This teacher had some cool things planned which made the afternoon fun and fly by!  She started off by reading the book Boo, by Robert Munsch.  After reading the story the students made a pretty cool Crazy Hair Art project.

These turned out so awesome, it was something that I didn’t want to forget about so I thought I would stick it in my resources page.  I have also included pictures of the kids creations.
