Chicka Chicka Boom BOOM!

I started this pack last year in August {the first week or two of school} and you can imagine why it never got finished… It was the first thing I worked on and finished when I finished the school year last week.

I always do Chicka Chicka Boom Boom with my first graders at the very beginning of school. So these activities are geared toward beginning of first grade or kindergarten.

Here is a glimpse of what the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Mini Unit incldues. It is mostly center activities with recording sheets or follow up worksheets.

It is listed in my Teachers Pay Teachers store.. Here is a quick link:

So long little first graders…

 

Tomorrow is our last day of school this year!

I can not believe that another year has gone by. This was my 12th year to teach.. and I do believe it went by quicker than any other year. I feel like we just started!

003

As an end of the year gift I am giving my students a framed picture of our class from a few weeks ago.. I got them printed in a 5x7 size and bought frames.

004

I wrapped them in simple brown paper sacks and printed a label for each one.

006

Nothing fancy.. but I always give my students some kind of picture to keep as a gift. I have done little albums but I hate to admit that I have slacked on my picture taking this year…

I really like this group picture so I hope they will keep it and remember their first grade year!
