Hi Friends,

Five for Friday

Hey Everyone,

I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for some Five for Friday Fun!

1. October fun in the Classroom

I just have to share some of my October must-haves! We are going to have FUN this month!

2. Wedding

I'm really lucky to have great friends. One of the great things about living in Quebec, is that we are such a multicultural province. Therefore, many of my friends come various backgrounds. One of my very good friends got married on the weekend and as she is South Asian, I couldn't resist wearing a BEAUTIFUL sari to her wedding.

Can I just say, I love everything about the Indian culture. The food, the clothing, the people! 

3. Giddy-Up

Last week we completed our Cowboy theme! We decided to have us a party and dressed up for Cowboy Day!

I love, love, love everything about these packs! We had SO MUCH FUN!

   

Click on the pictures to check out these packs! And don't forget to read all about how I used these packs in my Cowboys in the Classroom and Cowboy Profiles posts. 

 4. Fall

If you have ever read my blog during the Fall season, you probably already know how much I love FALL!!!!!! The weather, the fashion, the holidays, the foooooooooooodddd!!!! I love it all!

I also love to decorate my classroom and bring a crisp Fall inside!

5. Boston

I'm so excited to visiting beautiful Boston soon! I have never been! Me, who loves to travel has never visited this awesome city. We have quite a few fun things planned and I can't wait to share all about it. On thing I will tell you is that we got tickets to the Bruins/Habs game at the TD Garden. 

So excited! Anyone who follows hockey knows these two teams have quite rivalry. 

Of course despite visiting the beautiful city I will be rooting for my Montreal boys!

Can't wait!!!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to link up with Doodle Bugs Teaching!

Until next time...

Cowboy Day!

Hello Sweet Friends,

I wanted to share with you the very best part of our cowboy theme, COWBOY DAY!

What is a theme without some dressing up!

Did I dress up, you ask? Well, if you know me at all, then you'll know that the dressing up was all my idea and that YES I got myself some western gear all right!

In fact, so did my colleagues!

Oh ya, an most important, the KIDS!

So on cowboy day, we decided to take some activities from my two cowboy packs and have us a great time!

First, we read a poem about drawing a cowboy and did just that!

I love how they all followed the same directions but each picture is so different!

 

 

 

 

Then, we finished our cowboy literacy centers. In cowboy attire of course.

We played I Have, Who has and timed ourselves. Loads of fun as always!

Finally we did some singing and dancing!

 This Square Dance Cadence video from the Learning Station was so much fun!

We also enjoyed the Hockey Pokey curtesy of Just Dance. 

We also sang some songs. This was the kiddies favorite!

You can find the above activities in the following packs!

  

And don't forget to read all about how I used these packs in my 

Cowboys in the Classroom and Cowboy Profiles posts.

Until next time...

Cowboys in the Classroom

Howdy Everyone,

I'm here today to tell you all about our Wild, Wild West fun!

We had a blast reading about Tyler and Jenna and all of their responsibilities on the ranch!

After we read the color story the students practiced their fluency and illustrated their very own version of the story during shared reading.

 

 

After that, it was time to write their own Cowboy and Cowgirl tales!

They used the word wall and penned some great stories!

 

We made some hats and boots to display with the stories. 

I mean these hats are super stylish and practical for any wannabe cowboy and/or cowgirl!

 

 

And these boots... Well, these boots were made for walking!

 

 

We ended this unit with some cowboy themed literacy centers.

Bingo
