3D Shapes Showdown Addition! AND Dual Language Book Review

Happy Spring all!! - and happy Spring BREAK to those who are still in that happy time of the year;)

So I had a customer request to add the vocabulary term apex and base to my 3D Shape Showdown.  I finally got around to fixing it up.  Now it is added to the package.  To all you who have bought it, printed, cut and laminated it already I have added an additional page at the back for you to print and laminate without having to reprint everything all over.  I am SO grateful to all of my previous customers!!!  Click on the picture to go to my TpT store for redownload!

As some of you may know, I am a bit of a language buff - I LOVE teaching my little muffins French!  I was thrilled when I was approached by Tim Johnson A.K.A. The Language Bear to review one of his Dual Language books.  I chose French and English being that I am in Canada, but there are many options including Spanish, Italian, etc.  A digital teacher's guide is included.  

Each page has the words in English and French.  Tim sent me the PDF version so I popped it up on the SmartBoard and read it to the class.  The pictures were amazing (the kids commented on these specifically) and the story was so cute and fun.  My class had a great time connecting the French words with the English words.  Certain vocabulary is highlighted so it was easy to make the connections!

This product is of high quality!  The kids loved it and I found that it was wonderful way of introducing French literature into the classroom!!  Be sure to check it out!!!  Happy last few days of Spring Break!!  I will be going out tonight for a little salsa masquerade party!  Super excited!!

Shape UP! SHOWDOWN!! Easter Chick Art and 2D Shapes, 3D Shapes

A little Easter chick art for you!  The feet aren't quite the same but hearts are great for feet, too!

This project is pretty much a do as you see project.  You will need construction paper, white glue, google eyes, and tissue paper.  Put squares of tissue paper around the end of a pencil, dip in glue and put onto chick body.

Also, check out my 2D and 3D shape units!!!  I've been working hard on them and they FINALLY came together!  Here is one of my muffins doing the Write it, Pump it up, CAPITALIZE it! activity from the 3D Showdown.  They LOVED it!!  At the end of the day a parent asked a little boy what shape he was colouring and he promptly replied, "That's a triangular prism!"  YES!!!

Here is one of my kiddos doing a page from Shape UP!  LOVE the cute little muscles!!
