Learning about polygons

We've been learning about polygons recently. We used some online games on the Smartboard. The kids loved them so I wanted to share the online.
All of them are in Spanish, but you'll find different levels. I used all of them in my second grade classroom.

Have fun!

              

 

We used the Polygons Fold & Learn craftivity. It was super easy to put together and it was a good review before the test. You can find it in my TPT store.

I am on instagram!

Thanks Michelle from Apples and ABC's and Rachelle from What the teacher wants I just discovered Instagram. 

I have not explored  it yet, but I have started following some great blogger friends. 

Thanks for the opportunity. Can't wait to take some photos today in school. :)

Feliz dia de la Tierra

I know I am late... We don't celebrate Earth day this week, but I thought I could share some useful resources with you:

All these online activities are in SPANISH. You can use them on your smart board to teach about recycling.
The first two are very simple. You just need to separate the residues. These are very basic so could be easily be used in Kindergarten classrooms too.

This one is a whole site dedicated to recycling glass. You'll see lots of great printables, games, downloadable images and teaching materials.
My students love the recycling chain.

 This is a whole site dedicated to recycling in general (Enseñar a reciclar). It can be used for any grade because it has many different games depending on the age. Check out the downloadable materials!

Hope you have a great week and you save many trees! And please check my Earth Day craft, it is featured on Erica's blog: I am so excited that she will be using it with her students this week! 

Getting ready for Spring break!

We just came back from Fallas break. Did you know about them. They are typical from Valencia. They create big monuments that are burned on the last day (March 19). It's a whole week of  beautiful parades, monuments, fire-works, music and fun. I just have some photos because I am not living in Valencia so I only visited for a day.








After this mini-break... we are getting ready for Easter Break! Tests are over! Yipee! We celebrated with my last craftivity... Easter Bunnies.






My students loved this one. They are getting quite good with them. I showed them the instructions on the smartboard and they were able to do it on their own. Aren't they adorable?

When do you start Spring break?

Monday made it!

I know... It's Tuesday. But it is my first time joining this linky and I did not want to miss it!

I have had the same velcro boards for years. I use them to display helpers, fast  finishers options and many more.
It looked great at the beginning of the year but then if faded and looked messy.

This year  I have finally changed them:
Both are done with IKEA red magnetic board.
 I just printed the jobs, laminated them and added some old vistaprint magnets that were left from back to school. For the helpers board I used some IKEA magnets too. I wrote my students' numbers on each one of them.

If you look at my window you can see that I LOVE my chalkboard pens and I use them everywhere. ;)

Check out 4th Grade Frolics to see what others did!

Thanks for the linky, Tara!
