DIY sight word fish GAME

Hello everyone.
Today in math small groups the kids and I played sight word fishing.  They absolutely loved it and asked when we could play again.  One student even said he wished he had this game at home. Instantly my wheels started turning as to how to make this possible.  I obviously cant get every family the game, but it is super easy to make at home.
Bonding time with your kid, time to get crafty, and in the end you'll have a game everyone can play.  It's all around a fantastic idea!

Materials
Fishing pole-stick or wooden dowel, yarn, and magnet

Fish- Draw or print fish onto construction paper, write sight words on the fish, and attach a paper clip or staple to the front of the fish.

Below I have included a list of some sight words.  If you need more or after your child has mastered the ones you already made you can google kindergarten sight words to find more.

Ta Da!! It is really that simple (=

Have fun!

ZOO

We had the most amazing time at the zoo today!!
The jellies helped me out tremendously by listening, asking great questions, and being patient while waiting our turn.  Some would say it is crazy and slightly impossible to take fourteen five year olds to the zoo with only two adults.  Well today the Jellies proved that wrong and showed that it is 100% possible. 
A glimpse at our fun.... keep in mind some of these photos were by request, so if they don't make sense to you they might mean a lot to the students.

 
While we wait for Mr.Tommy to park the bus (left).  We spotted this cute little bird(right).  The quieter we were the more the birds came out of the bushes.

The orangutans were very active.  The babies didn't seem to mind the cool air they were swinging all around.  Some of them were bundled up in blankets.

 Observing the squirrel monkeys and making predictions about what they are eating. 

 The sun was in their eyes, but we're all smiling so that's all that matters.

 

Proof of a straight line.  Go Jellies!

What trip is complete without a serious and goofy class picture. 

Last, but not least the trip home. While some still had energy others took a power nap.

March publishing party

To lead up to our publishing party we were writing First, then, last stories.  A few examples are how to be a good friend, how to get ready for school, how to brush your teeth, and how to make gingerbread cookies.  They then choose their favorite to make a full detailed story.  Going along with the theme of steps and topic of weather to incorporate science I decided our publishing snack would be rainbows.  Below are pictures of the kids first building their rainbows with fruit loops, then assembling it, and finally eating !!

 And of course they deiced a goofy face rather than a serious one.
