The students painted pieces of plain paper in random colours and patterns, and then they cut them into petals, butterflies, and other garden creatures. We sponged the blue background, and just used regular old paintbrushes for the grass. I think it turned out pretty fantastic. An easy art project for the last week of school.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9fDNrA46UPYGAWu-lPH46XL5dUXMdYXttzUEXAhkKlIJYUAJ01-pH7cMSEOaqEIN2gAgXV7GvEHTrfKDczlTd9c1tDXTgYJkGKOokgPcMphqVqXCKJHg8E6_oVjFKfJboEkvtuRFGxgM/s640/blogger-image--1284540502.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9fDNrA46UPYGAWu-lPH46XL5dUXMdYXttzUEXAhkKlIJYUAJ01-pH7cMSEOaqEIN2gAgXV7GvEHTrfKDczlTd9c1tDXTgYJkGKOokgPcMphqVqXCKJHg8E6_oVjFKfJboEkvtuRFGxgM/s640/blogger-image--1284540502.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Robyn Hyndmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01275204632489398175noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223646628563854348.post-62452863606579600002013-05-25T09:50:00.001-04:002013-05-25T09:50:25.825-04:00Time for A New Schedule?My kiddos are busy learning how to tell time to the hour, half hour, and quarter hour. This can be a tricky concept for some of them. Here is a visual schedule of a typical day for us, created by the students. They chose important events from throughout the day to illustrate and label with the time in analogue and digital format. Throughout the day, they can look at the clock and match it to one of the events up on our schedule. So far, it is getting lots of use!<br />

For me, money is one of the hardest math concepts for young children to understand, as it can be very abstract for them. With this unit, you and your students will play games, do hands-on activities, and open your own classroom store where your students can really start to understand the basics of using money. <div>

Here are a few pages from the unit....check it out at my <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Show-Me-the-Money-an-adventure-in-Canadian-Currency" target="_blank">TpT store</a> to get some more information.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
I have been working on a social studies unit that follows the many different traditions and celebrations in places around the world. Finally, it is ready for you all. In this resource, you will take a trip around the world and visit 20 different places. While tracking your journeys in your official passport, you can collect stamps from each destination, and record a little about what you learned. Each place comes with a teacher fact sheet to give you a taste of some of the details and basic information of where you are going, and what major holiday or tradition you will be looking into. <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Lets-Go-Around-the-World-a-whole-year-of-social-studies" target="_blank">Check it out at my TpT Store</a>.</div>

In case you are with me amongst the last to know, BookFlix is a website put together by Scholastic. It is similar to Tumblebooks in that it allows your students to "watch" books online, while they read along! If you have not heard about it.....<a href="http://auth.grolier.com/login/bookflix/login.php?bffs=N" target="_blank">check it out</a>! It is FABULOUS! My favourite feature is that it pairs fiction and non-fiction books together such as "Bear Snores On" beside a non-fiction book about Bears. What a great way of comparing the two types of books.<br />
<br />

I have created the "chunkapillar" for teaching my students about common spelling patterns ("chunks") in the english language, as opposed to teaching entire words. I am always so impressed by the way that I see my students point out the chunks we have learned about when they are reading, as well as when they are writing.<br />

Well I will have to start off by saying that there are going to have to be some changes to "once upon a portable"......mainly because I am no longer in a portable! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since my last post, I have been moved to a new school, and put in a new grade with a new class. After 2 months of setting up my class (again) whilst teaching, and learning a new grade, I am ready to return to the world of blogging.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am now teaching a 1/2 split to 18 lovely little darlings. Thank goodness for that, or else I may have lost my mind in this whole blurrrrr. So, here I am, back in cyberspace....and now I need a new name.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Any ideas??</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ALSO. Just posted my newest addition to TPT, an All Year Long Poetry Resource. Check it out <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Poems-of-the-Week-An-All-Year-Long-Poetry-Resource" target="_blank">here</a>!</div>

Here is a peek at my new classroom library, after many generous donations of books from family and friends, as well as some from the school. The AMAZING bin labels are from TPT, and you can grab them <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/The-Whole-Shebang-Book-Bin-and-Book-Labels-for-K-3">here</a>. Money well spent for sure. Some of the bins are meant for novels, and because of the shape of them I decided to attach the labels with zip ties that I got at the Dollar Tree. The white bins have the labels taped to the front of them.<br />

Kids are learning their numbers and letters on iPads before they are 3 years old. We need to help them harness this power so they know how to use it to navigate and make meaning in their world.<br />
<br />
In talking to a colleague of mine, he suggested having each student start their own blog, and use it in lieu of a journal. What a fabulous idea! So I found this great website that allows teachers and students to do just that. Check out <a href="http://www.kidblog.org/">www.kidblog.org</a> and see how you can empower your little writers to start their blog debut in a way that will be current, relative, and most importantly safe.<br />
<br />
Do you use blogs with your students? If so, how?<br />

This FREEBIE is a pack of word wall words you can use in your junior classroom. Since I don't have a whole bulletin board to devote to a word wall, I will be putting up hooks, and hanging my words on cards by letter. This words better for me, as my word wall can take whatever shape I need it to.

Maybe that is just me not doing a good job of looking, but sometimes I feel like I am a lone Ontario Ranger trying to find some ideas that align with the curriculum I teach. Had I not been stalking blogs for a year already, I would not even know what "Common Core" was. Now, that being said....for the most part the wonderful ideas I have found have served great purpose in my classroom and I feel very privileged to be privy to these ideas and their authors. BUT. When it comes to some things, (teaching canadian money, or geography)...it is definitely harder to find resources.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyone hear me???</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I have created my first Ontario based resource that is now available for FREE on my <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Robyn-Hyndman" target="_blank">TPT store</a>. I would love to hear what you think, and if anyone has found a hidden chest of resources that they would be willing to share...I would love to hear about them.</div>Robyn Hyndmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01275204632489398175noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223646628563854348.post-46264106556705351112012-08-09T23:23:00.001-04:002012-08-09T23:23:59.653-04:00Ok it has been a big day for me. First a new blog, then I also set up my own <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Robyn-Hyndman" target="_blank">TPT Store</a> that is now stocked with 2 Freebies for your downloading pleasure.....just simple ones for now.

<br />
So I suppose it would be appropriate for me to introduce myself to the cyberworld.....I am going in to my third year of teaching in Ontario, Canada, and I will be teaching grade four for the first time...in a portable.<br />
<br />
I am excited to start my new adventure in blogging and in portabling! Here goes!Robyn Hyndmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01275204632489398175noreply@blogger.com0
