Who Took The Cookies?

After reading Who Took the Cookies?, we made our own version of the book. My goal was integrate writing and math. The students drew 12 cookies in the cookie jar. They picked a card with a number from 1-12 and crossed out that many cookies. To act it out, the students took the same amount of construction paper cookies from a "cookie jar", and counted what was left. Then they were able to write a number sentence and story problem. Some students used the number words in their story problems.

 Crumb Snatcher

I assembled the book in order from 1-12. A picture of each child taking the cookies from the jar was placed on their page. I had to have it for evidence ;) The class picture was on the last page. Of course we had cookies and milk for snack.

So Tempting!

 

Trying to Wipe Away the Evidence

Hooray for Hollywood!

Here are a few pictures of my Hollywood themed classroom. This hallway board is used to display the students' writing. Another board in the hallway is used for AR.  The "Setting The Stage for Learning" is used for Essential Questions.  The "Cast and Crew" board is the job board.

Literacy Bags

I'm getting excited about filling the bags that are finished. Here are some pictures of three bags. I started with these because I already have several books and activities to add to them. Now I just have to get in my classroom and reorganize so I can find the books and activities.

Also includes 3 nonfiction books, and butterfly and caterpillar pattern block work mats
