Wow-ee Wednesday! :)

I am so excited! Today I am being featured by Amanda from Teaching Maddeness! If you are here from her blog, welcome! I hope you will become a follower! :)

Today is one of those days I am SOOO happy to be a "buyer" on TPT. We have been talking about the differences between Primary and Secondary Sources in Reading and Social Studies. I found this GREAT sort activity by Andrea Robinson- it really got us thinking about which source each example referred to. The activity lends itself to some great discussion about their reasoning... and did I mention it saved me some much-needed time?? Not having felt the greatest this week, I haven't been going home creating (or thinking) like I usually do... I've been vegging out on the couch when I get home catching up on my DVR and sleeping!

The item also comes with a worksheet with a list of examples that they have to label as (P) or (S). We checked it together as a class just because we are still so early on in our learning, but it could easily be used for a grade!

I know, I know, I'm a day late, but I went straight to the sofa last night (as I mentioned above). It's been really yucky, rainy weather all week, so we've had indoor recess. Usually, this is not good news for the rest of the day because the kids just NEED to move. But...have you heard about the AWESOME site, free for teachers (as long as you register with your school email) called Adventure to Fitness? My kids have begged me every day since the first day we've done it to get on the site for recess. No more Heads Up, 7 Up! (and that was their favorite game!!)

If you haven't tried it with your class, I highly recommend it! They love it, and it keeps them active the whole time! It is also educational- so far, we have learned about volcanoes and explorers!! :)
