Tooth Fairies

In February, we studied Dental Health.  We learned about our teeth, how we have different kinds of teeth, and we also learned how to take good care of them.  We read this book:

Then created our own Tooth Fairies and wrote what we think Tooth Fairies do with all of those teeth. 

Some of us thought that the keep them in jars, put them in our baby books, give them to new babies who don't have teeth yet, and make necklaces out of them.

Bubble Blowing Challenge

Recently, on another blog, I found out that it was National Bubble Gum week.  It was a Friday, not long ago that our class took the "Bubble Blowing Challenge".  We got to chew gum and try to blow bubbles.  While we were practicing we were thinking about how you blow a bubble, we then wrote the steps and created a model of us blowing bubbles (balloons).  We had a GREAT time, and NO ONE, not even the teacher shot their gum across the room!

What are Santa and Mrs. Claus's jobs?

Another writing project that we have completed is as follows.  Students chose either a Santa or Mrs. Claus face, then created the body.  Each student then wrote what their respective jobs were.  Here are their creations.  It was really cute to read them.  Did you know that Mrs. Claus is there to sew up Santa's seat when he rips it out? Did you know that Santa feeds the elves and the reindeer and he LOVES Oreos?  Or that Santa sells the toys the elves makes to all the toy stores?
