I Have a TPT Widget!!

I am SLOWLY learning how to add things to my blog. I am not at all good at this whole technology thing but I try. So anyways I have really been wanting to add a TPT widget to my page and could not figure out how to do it. I knew I should have just "googled" how to do it in the first place because when I did, an EXCELLENT tutorial came up from Adventures in Kindergarten and..... well, now you can see my new widget!! Check out the tutorial if you too are wondering how to add a TPT gadget!

Capacity Conversions-Flash Freebie!

I have been putting off teaching capacity conversions for a while now because honestly, I think it's a hard skill to teach. I used gallon, quart, pint, and cup containers to show the different measurements and introduce how to convert between them. We made gallon men, which is always a helpful tool, and then we worked on some conversions together on the Smartboard. This week I plan on using the capacity conversion task cards I made to assess the students. I will send a copy of the task cards to the first two people to comment and leave their email, or you can check them out at my TPT store by clicking on the picture below!

Scientific Method Freebies

This past week has kind of been a big cram session. As state testing gets closer, I realize all of the topics that I haven't had a chance to cover! So we did some mini lessons  on different topics. One of the topics we covered was the Scientific Method and I found some great freebies out there! The first was a set of posters from Wild About Teaching on TPT.

 

I  found a great video on Scholastic Study Jams on the scientific method. I love Scholastic Study Jams... you can search just about any topic and find either a video or an activity to teach that topic.

After discussing each of the scientific method steps, it was time to experiment! We did the Case of the Runaway Pepper, which I found from Susan Cahalane on TPT. Susan's freebie comes with steps to complete the experiment, a sheet outlining the scientific method sheet, and an activity sheet for students to fill out. My students had so much fun with this experiment!

 

 

What experiments do you use to teach scientific method??
