Flip Lesson Sunday....Writing Sentences


New Life with Baby Chicks



We are hatching chicks in kindergarten!  Our incubator is filled with a mixture of 12 different kinds of chick eggs.  The flip books we made document the chicks journey out of the egg.  With the egg tooth (it falls off after hatching); the chick will make a small pip, then what we call a zipper, and finally with all the strength the chick can muster, it will push its way out of the egg. The chicks are due to hatch around May 14.

April ___?____Bring May Flowers....Flip Lesson Sunday

Flip lesson Sunday is here again.  My students helped me make this word working lesson.  This lesson reviews the digraph of sh and the dipthong of ow. I put the URL for this lesson in my weekly letter for homework.  Parents enjoy learning how to help their child read.  Class time is freed up for me to work individually with students or with small groups because the main lecture portion was viewed at home.

My first "Currently" post!  Here goes....
*I am currently listening to my heart beat faster because I am taking my MTLE, reading licensure test in three hours!

*Can't get my mind off of the MTLE.  Soon it will be over.  Say a prayer for me!
*Wanting my college age son to stay another day or week!

Flip Lesson Sunday....The Tortoise and the Hare

Happy Easter Everyone!
Last week was a short week so I didn't prepare a new video lesson for my class.  I though you might enjoy this lesson I make last August to welcome my new kinders to my classroom before school even started.  Something to think about for next fall anyway.   Enjoy!

Flip Lesson Sunday....Bossy R

Flip lesson Sunday again! This week's video lesson focuses on the r controlled vowel or the "bossy" r. The bossy r tells the vowel to say his sound.

If you find this lesson helpful, click on the flip your classroom tab under labels and you will find a series of systematic work making lessons that I have used with my classroom this year. I use the lessons for homework and embed the video in my classroom blog. I have also used the lessons as a review, my students write the words on whiteboards as we watch the video lesson as a whole group.

Send the link home with parents, use for differentiated instruction and blended learning, or make your own flip lesson from the ideas in my videos. Enjoy!
