Dr. S Inspired -ink Word Family Freebie!

I know that Read Across America Week is over, but last week our word family was -ink.  I couldn't help but make a connection with the book "Oh the Thinks You Can Think"!  So we read the book and put together these funny little guys from the book.  I drew these on a piece of paper and then copied onto construction paper. 

Students then turned them over and wrote a silly sentence using their -ink words.  Here was my example:

Sorry for the crummy picture.  You don't actually realize how filthy your whiteboard is until you take a close-up picture.  Anyway, we tried to THINK of as many -ink words as we could.

Here was our chart of -ink words we thought of after reading the book:



After we created our chart the kids got to work making their "Think Characters".  We hung them from our clips from the ceiling so we could see our words and the sentences we created.  Here are a few examples of the kids work:

Here is another example.  I just loved the faces they put on these characters!

I scanned my drawings and placed them in google docs in case anyone would want to make these cuties with their kiddos.  The scanned images are not that great so I apologize for the quality but hope you can make it work if you like the idea. I can't believe tomorrow is already hump day!  Only 3 more days and then our Spring Break begins!  The weather here has been beautiful - sunny and 70 degrees!  Hope this beautiful weather continues into next week.  Have a great evening!

A little behind...and some Dr. S fun!

I forgot to share these projects we did back during President's Day.  They turned out so cute I just had to share them. We read the book "If I Were President" by Catherine Stier and then wrote what they would do if they were President.  Then they decorated a picture of themselves to look very Presidential.  Here are a couple of the finished projects.

 If he were President, he would make the rules!

She signed her name Mrs. President!  Too cute!

Nice beard!

One of my favorites.  She added red marker to her lips for lipstick! 

So last week was Read Across America week and we celebrated Dr. Seuss' Birthday.  We had a little birthday snack made with these:

Our snack turned out like this and we sang Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss before we ate them!

One of the Kindergarten teachers made some Truffala Trees and decorated her door like the Lorax.  I just couldn't help but share since I thought it turned out so adorable!

Our word family this week was -ink.  We read the book "Oh the Thinks You can Think" by Dr. Seuss and made the cutest book character to write our -ink words on.  I forgot to take pictures of them but I will take some pictures next week and upload the patterns for them.  They turned out super cute!

We read "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss and then cooked up some delicious green eggs and ham of our own.  We graphed our results - if we liked them or not - but had to add a third category:  Liked the ham but not the eggs.  Here are some pictures of our day:

Yum!  We even added some cheese to our eggs.

Of Course, I had to eat them too... Here I am enjoying some Green Ham! Hope everyone had an awesome week.
