Think Outside the Box Thursday

Howdy!
Thanks for stopping by!  One of my favorite Morning Warm Up activities is my "Think Outside the Box Thursday!" activity.  I developed this unit to help my kiddos stretch the creative side of their brains. The goal is for them to make the shape into something no one else will think of.  This week's shape brought out some fabulous ideas!  Way to go kids!

Stay tuned for another peek into the creative minds of first graders!!
Joyfully!

  10. Thank you so much for sharing all of your ideas. We have been doing your morning warm-ups since the beginning of this year and it has worked AMAZINGLY well. Students and families love them, too. Please know that by sharing what works for you, there are two teachers in Kentucky who owe their smooth morning start to you!
