Angry Science Birds Thematic Unit






This week our story is "Simple Machines". I was trying to think of a way to teach this in a fun way.

Right now flying birds are all the rage with my kiddos. Next week we are going to have a blast with a new 43 page thematic unit that I just created: Angry Science Birds! Included in the unit are a lot of math, science, writing, technology ideas and center activities. We will even be creating our very own popsicle catapults to launch marshmallow "birds"!

Want to join in on the fun?


Let's do a giveaway while we're at it. I'm giving away 3 of these units- All you have to do to enter is to leave a comment with your email address!

I would really appreciate it if you would check out my stores, write a blog post about this giveaway, or add me to your sidebar- extra entries for each! :)

Giveaway ends on Wednesday at 5:00 Central Time. Good luck!

Great Online Computer Games For K-2


Looking for free educational games for your elementary students to use during center rotations?
Here is a list of games I use with my students. Set a Sqworl as your homepage or create an icon the students can view from the desktop for easy access.




BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. have amazing FREE online games. The BrainPOP games are designed for older students, but some could be adapted for 1-2 grades. An example is the Battleship Numberline game, which can be set to use only whole numbers! Plus, Moby the robot (BrainPOP mascot) is amazing. The students LOVE him!
