We all know about my obsession to books…
The first step to recovery is admitting it, right?
I have a confession.
I am addicted to books.
All kinds.
Big books, small books, square books, round books.
Long books, short books, chapter books, picture books.
I don’t discriminate, I love em’ all!
So obv. I LOVE Collaboration Cuties Mentor Text linky where I get to share books I love and get so many suggestions from others to feed my addiction! (Who wants to be in recovery from a book addiction, anyways? 😉 )
This weeks topic: SCIENCE
I don’t teach Science, but my teaching partner and I try to work hand in hand and build off of each other. She does an an entire weather unit where they talk about precipitation and make weather predictions. I like to pair this book up with her lessons:
If you read above, you know I love books. So obviously one of my favorite places is where i house all of these books- our library! We keep fiction books in the blue bins, and nonfiction in the green. I love that the kiddos practice genres when putting the books back, and can see the covers clearly in these bins. I also love that they learn the genres they’re interested in so they can look for books fast!
Happy Sunday everyone! Have a great week! We are celebrating Earth Day tomorrow in our classroom with a little Lorax Craftivity! We read the book on Friday and started working on our writings! Tomorrow we will take time out of test prep review and make our craft and watch the movie!
Click here to download this product from my TPT store. Also, comment with how you celebrate Earth Day in your classroom and I will pick a winner tomorrow to get this pack for free! Make sure to leave your email in the comment 🙂
I love the idea do integrating science and LA. Great idea!
Creating Lifelong Learners
I agree with you- the cover of the Rainy Day poem book is beautiful. Since you enjoyed that book, have you tried "Poems for Two Voices"? It's a book of two part poems- read by two people at the same time. My students love to perform these poems! I am also loving your classroom!

I'm not sure yet how I'm going to celebrate Earth Day. I will probably read "The Lorax" and we will watch the movie on Friday. I also want the students to work outside in our outdoor classroom we have picking up trash and such. I guess I should figure out what we are going to do! 🙂

I love your classroom colors!
Hunter's Tales from Teaching

I am going to show a couple of Earth Day videos and then talk about how we can take care of the Earth. Nothing too fancy since my school is really strict about what we teach =/

Ooooo, I love that you don't even science and yet you still integrate it for your partner teacher AND you still linked up! Wohoooo! You rock!!!!
I love, love, love books too, which is probably why my addictive personality started this linky (it gives me reasons to buy more books and now this book is on my list too!)
Where did you get those circle rugs??? I have to have them!! They are the perfect colors for my room and I have polka dots in my room too! Love it!!

I have never seen that book before – but I will definitely add it to my to-buy-ASAP list (which is ever-growing!)
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Your classroom is so cute- and color-coordinated! I love the "I Can" board – helps to motivate students and hold them accountable too.
Found you through the linky – and am so glad that I did!

Sometimes I feel like Science just gets pushed by the way side at the end of the day and I am always scrambling to fit it in! This is such a great way to incorporate science into language arts. Just ordered this book on Amazon because we are about to start poetry and just ended weather!! PERFECT! Thanks for the great ideas 🙂
