Life Cycles

I was having some trouble coming up with a science topic for the end of the year,
so I thought about things my kids enjoyed learning about and came up with one of my new favorite units: Life Cycles!
It teaches kids about mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds, and Insects. 
Then there is a life cycle to go along with each.
The kids really loved it, especially since we watched so many life cycles in our classroom this year!
(Butterflies and Frogs!)
You can check out this unit on Teachers Pay Teachers. 






We also did alligators, clown fish, chickens, and more!

This is another cool unit I came up with recently. I was inspired by my kids love of word searches and graphing.. so I combined the two and this is what I came up with!
Check out the sample I made: Freebie!
If your kiddos love it as much as mine, purchase the whole unit: Sight Word Find & Graph Unit
It makes a great literacy or math center!

Ocean Unit

We have been having so much fun with our ocean unit!
Here are some pictures of the projects, 
be sure to check out my Ocean Unit on Teachers Pay Teachers!


This is my favorite project!
We learned about sea turtles and made these cute magnets!
We used a piece of cardboard for the middle and the kids arranged sea glass after painting them. Then I hot glued the sea glass on and attached a magnet to the back.. too cute!



We learned about area and perimeter.
We measured pictures using seashells and sea glass!




We did a short 'o' word family sort.



The kids created these beautiful pictures after we learned about fish and crabs.





We also painted sea shells that I found in Cape Cod :)


More pictures to come!
