Lick, Lick! Drip, Drip!

Hello Everyone!
Are you ready for the last few weeks??? I love the last bit of time I have with my littles! They absolutely shine in everything they do!  Their confidence has skyrocketed and they feel like big kids.  I love to end the year with some cool fun that all kids love!  Popsicles and Ice Cream! I shared my little unit about popsicles last year, but I have updated and added an ice cream component. This 115 page pack is filled with lots of review activities, including math, writing, poetry, book lists, science, hands on visuals, and so much more. There's also a mini personal finance component. I hope I have time to fit it all in!  The kids will still be learning, but having some cool fun along the way.  Here are a few pics of what is included.

If You think you can use even a small part of the pack,

You can get it if you simply CLICK HERE!!! :)

I hope you have a great end of the year! I hope to be back to post a few more things, but wow! This time of year is also Crazy Busy at home and at school, so I can't promise anything!  

Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!!

Joyfully!

Banana Split Menu

Hello Everyone!
Just a quick post today. We continued our ice cream fun with a math activity involving a Banana Split Menu!  The kids had to build their own banana splits based on a menu with each item costing a certain amount.  They had to draw and color it and then figure out how much their banana split would cost. A great way to review money as well as checking their thinking when it comes to adding several numbers together.  I kept hearing, "I've never added this many numbers together before!" They did it!! Great job, kiddos!! We are going to be sooooo ready for an ice cream party on Tuesday!! :)

Have a sweet evening!

Scrumptious Similes

Hello Everyone!
Welcome back for another post about ice cream! Yum!! Today we worked on similes again as we review some of our favorite things from the year.  We read a couple more ice cream books and then set out to brainstorm some similes using ice cream as our subject. I love some of the similes the kids came up with!! Then the kids had to pick out their favs or think of some more and record them on their own sheets. I then showed them how to make a great little ice cream cone book starting with a circle. I tried to take pics along the way to show you all, but you will probably have to do some experimenting if you want to make some!  On each page of the book, the kids had to write their six similes. I think they turned out great!!

Have a "cool as a cucumber" evening!

Let's Dream of Ice Cream!

Hello Everyone!
I know, I know! School is almost out, but I still have some fun things I want to do with my kids!!  Today we began a little mini unit about ice cream!  We atarted with a fun little book "Curios George Goes to an Ice Cream Shop."  We brainstormed some fun words about ice cream, some were attributes, some were just fun words!  We read a fun little poem about having 5 scoops of ice cream on a cone! You already know what happened, don't you!!
Then we put together this cute little craft connection.  We had done a little cupcake activity similar to this idea, so I hardly had to give any directions!  Such little smarties!!  We will be doing a few other ice cream activities this week and finishing with an ice cream party next week with parents invited!  Thanks, moms and dads for helping with that!!
Enjoy the pictures.  I've got to run!  Yes, I still have those house guests! :)  Love them!! 2 more weeks!
