I have been a linky junkie lately and I am actually teaching summer school, so I have some fun things to show you!  Each week I teach is a different theme, so I will start with "The Cats".  I did one week of Cat in the Hat and a week of Pete and Splat!  Check out some of the fun things we did!

I wanted to do a fun painting project for the Splat book and found this on Pinterest!  One day we drew and painted him and the next day we used chalk to make his eyes, fur, and belly.

 The week before Pete and Splat we did some Cat in the Hat!

 We cut out an oval for his head, then cut out strips of red and white for his hat!

 One day we read this book:

Then, I took a Splat picture and hid raindrops around the room that had words on each one.  The kiddos found the word and if it was a noun they put it on and around his umbrella...ITS RAINING NOUNS!!

Do you teach summer school?

Summer School and a Bloglovin' Giveaway!!

My first week of summer is coming to an end...ONE MORE DAY!  Then, I have a week off before I am back at it again.  I don't teach summer school in the district I teach in during the school year, so it gets difficult planning weeks that are a Targeted Service class.  I make it work and we have a lot of fun!  This week I had a Dr. Seuss themed class (shh...don't say anything)!

To start off our week, I had the kiddos in my class make a Cat in the Hat watercolor painting.  They turned out so cute.  We turned them into a Cat in the Hat rhyming poster.

Each kiddo wrote rhyming words in white crayons, then painted over it to make it show up.  We cut out our cats and words then glued them to a piece of big construction paper!

Another fun game we played was pin the green eggs on the ham!  Each kiddo made their own egg and everyone got a chance to pin tape it to the plate of green ham.  Before a kiddo got to come up with their egg they had to spell a word that I picked out from the book, Green Eggs and Ham.  I wanted to put a literacy spin on it and figured why not have to earn your turn by spelling.  Of course if a kiddo couldn't spell a word we picked a new word.

I have more activities and another whole class I can talk about, but lets get on to the good stuff...A GIVEAWAY!
