Walk This Way to a Healthy Life!
To help promote our Friday Walk-A-Thon, we decided to create advertisements to show on our morning news.
Students got into groups, discussed the benefits of walking, and charted out their commercial on a storyboard. Once the storyboard was approved, the group went to www.voki.com and created their short commercial.

It's Fall Y'all
The calendar says we are a few weeks into fall, however our temperatures are not leaning towards fall!
Even though the sequential season order is Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring the weather does not always follow the order.
Humm...reminds me of our students when describing a book in sequential order, sometimes the end comes in the middle and the beginning makes its way to the end.
Materials Needed:
~ Clip art pictures (or mini versions) of:
leaves, shirt, pumpkin, pole, pants, rope, hay, scarecrow
~ transition words printed out
first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, before, after, next, last
~ Mini scarecrow
~ Book, There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves by Lucille Colandro
After making sure the mini scarecrow was hidden behind me, I laid out, not in order, the pictures associated with the story. During the story when we came to an object, we stopped and picked up the appropriate object and placed it in order. When we came to the last page, out came the mini scarecrow. After reading the book, we scrambled the pictures and brought out the transition words. We put the story in order using the pictures and added the number transition words. After we agreed the story was in correct order, we added the other transition words. We then asked questions like: What came after the ------ but before -----. What came first the -------- or the ------------, If ------ was swallowed what came before, If ---was swallowed what came next?
