Mission Space Giveaway Winners and Fabulous Projects!!!

Congratulations to Angie and Diedre on being winners of my first giveaway! Please look at your e-mails for a link to download your unit! Hope your kiddos enjoy it! 

I started decorating my classroom hallway to get ready for space... This is the wall opposite of my classroom so the angle from where I took the picture is awkward but I think you get the picture.. Ha! I told one of the the girls on my team (who really are my BFF's!! I LOVE them!!!) that it would be neat if we each made planets to place outside our hallways (we have an interior hallway-- not all classrooms have this) and have our little 1st grade astronauts orbit the hallway-- that it would look really cool. I painted the moon but there is still wall space next to my door.... hmmmm..... ;-)

Today was also an exciting day for my students. We have been working on a non-fiction share research project based on endangered animals. They looked so adorable walking into the classrooms with their projects. 

I posted about it a few weeks ago but I was still in the process of adding files and am still adding files as I find more things to add as I study and learn with my class. 

As soon as I finish up my files I will post it up on TPT but I will leave you with a FREEBIE "Choose Your Endangered Animal" form I used with my class. Click on the cover page of my new upcoming unit to grab that. In the meantime, take a look at their sweet faces with their projects! They are the BEST!!!

Have a great night!

Mission: Space

Space... It is the final frontier for sure!!! In fact I just read an article on CNN that talked about 3 new planets that could possibly sustain life!!! I am in the works of finalizing my Space Unit-- 90 pages of space themed activities... Here are some pictures...

I am SO SO SO excited about this!!!! Well... I am ALWAYS excited about the centers I make... But I really and truly love learning about space. I remember being in 4th and 5th grade and being part of the Young Astronauts Club and just being amazed by all the cool stuff they got to do. Since I live in FL, we are not too far from Kennedy Space Center so that was always a fun experience for me, too. I think I could've been an astronaut if it wasn't for the motion sickness thing.. Just sayin'.... LOL! So, if you are interested, stay tuned! I am posting a FREEBIE from these centers in an upcoming blog hop. 

To go along with this unit of study, I am going to be putting some websites on my student computers:

Google Moon

NASA Kids

These are both great sites,  along with Google Earth (which wasn't  cooperating when I tried to capture the screen), to use when learning about space. The kids, though, really love the NASA one!

I am also doing two projects from Sarah Cooley's Blog  "First Grader at Last" and am making Mars Sand and Shooting Stars (pictures are from her blog-- not mine-- please click on her name to link to the directions)

Thanks Sarah for the cool projects!!! Be sure to check it out!! 

Now that this project is done...I am on to my next few... Mother's Day tea event, Father's Day gift in a bottle, Oceans, and End of Year... Never ends.. does it???
