Now, I do actual Fun Friday in my classroom because firsties need to play, but I also do other things that are a lot of fun!
We do a TON of Go Noodle because it's the best thing ever! I feel like most people have heard of it by now, but if not, go check it out. It's a website with tons and tons of videos to get your kids up and moving, and you get to choose a Champ and watch it grow after every 10 videos!
I also use their Airtime and Airtime Space videos after lunch so that we can work on some deep breathing to calm down before learning more.
This year we are also starting Zoo Phonics which looks like it's going to make teaching phonics WAY more exciting! Kindergarten started using it last year, and then they ordered it for first grade to also use this year. I will have to post more about it later as I get into teaching it.
I also do a lot of art projects! Sometimes they're really complex, but other times it's basically just coloring and cutting and gluing. We are lucky to still have specials, but we only have music, PE, computers, and library, so I make sure that every Friday we do a special art project. :)
Every year we make these bodies. I trace the kids on butcher paper, and they cut themselves out, and then they color their packet of organs, and cut and glue those on to their bodies! SO. FUN. I got this from student teaching, so I only have paper masters.
This year we did these from Giraffes Can't Dance. I don't remember who originally did these, but I saw it on Pinterest and pinned it and did it!
We also make these snowflakes. It's just coffee filters colored with markers, and then they cut them into snowflakes, and you spray them with water to make the colors run. They're so pretty!
Thanks for reading about my Fun Fridays!
