BAR Key for Teddy Bears

We have been busy inventing new teddies. 

We have used the BAR key to do this.

In the first box we put a picture of our teddy. 

The second box we made something bigger.

The third box we added something. 

The last box we re-arranged something on our teddy. 

This gave us a new design for a teddy bear.

We enlarged ours to A3.

Moments from my day

 I started my day with the Year 5 and 6's. 

I am working with two teachers and their grades to introduce Daily 5 and Cafe. 

I am enjoying this time and helping to set up these routines. 

We used the netbooks today to start a series of slides to set our own goals for two parts of Daily 5. 

They are doing an amazing job with 'Read to Self", 'Read to Someone','Work on Writing' and today we looked at 'Work on Words'. 

Next week we are introducing 'Listen to Reading'

We did an anchor chart together, we explored where we can get our words from, what tools we need and how we need to work. 

Then I went back to Prep world and we were preparing for our Teddy Bear Picnic. 

The weather was lousy today - rain, hail, sunshine, wind and more rain. 

So we had our picnic in our buddies room. 

Before we went for our picnic we designed a sun hat and made it for our bears. 

There were some unusual hats. 

I will post some pics of this over the weekend. 

Toys and Teddies and e5

Here is my unit on Toys and Teddies.

It is suitable for K-2 and has many tasks that can be differentiated for your students.

This is perfect in leading up to a Teddy Bear Picnic and Teddy Bear study.

It is based on e5 and enables students to record their learning as they work through the five components of e5.
