We are on break and I finally had time to put the finishing touches on my first winter unit. If You Take a Mouse To The Movies, by Laura Numeroff is one of those special books that makes a great springboard for so many wonder-filled activities. I managed to create some activities that correlate beautifully with the learning objectives we are covering when we get back from Thanksgiving break! In the unit you will find, activities on visualization, setting, sensory details, some word work, an ABC order activity, lots of math (problem solving, addition and subtraction practice, doubles, some math tub activities), and a fun science activity with heat and matter. Once I got creating, I couldn't stop! The unit turned out to be 46 pages long. I did make all but 3 of the pages in black and white. I don't know about you, but the color printer ink is a touchy subject (sometimes) at our school. I know I have def. used my share and then some! No problem, though. Black and white is fine! :) Here are a few samples of what is included.

ReplyDeleteYou are amazing! You have such a generous heart! I am so blessed by you and your kiddos are beyond blessed to have you as their teacher. I am so happy that God brought you into my life. If you ever head to East Texas, let me know. I would love to meet you!
Where in Texas are you again?

Hugs to you sweet friend!

Thank you so much! I am super excited I found your site last week searching for a fun Thanksgiving craft. I will be checking back a lot! I LOVE this kind of stuff, but I don't have as much time to put into it with a one and three year old at home now. Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks you for your blog! I just found it and love it. I have a preschooler and he loves all your mystery pictures. He loves to color so it is a good way for him to practice recognizing his large number. Just FYI, on this mystery picture (If You Take a Mouse to the Movies) you have two 38 and no 39. He did it without noticing, but I just wanted to share in case you wanted to fix it. Thanks again for sharing all your great ideas!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your talents! We will have so much fun learning with this unit. Thank you for making it in black and white! I can not tell you how much I appreciate that!
