Since Children don't know the meaning of testing, there is a way where you could ensure that noone is looking at anyone by putting colorful folders for a way to hide their papers. They put their desks in rows during testing so that they'll know it's serious time and then when they are done they put their desks back into groups it only takes a minute.

This is hen art craft i wanted to do something different. So i got a coloring page from the internet of a hen had the children color it and we pasted yellow and white feathers.

Here we made a nest. First you get a plate then put some glue and spread yarn on top. Make eggs by cutting oval shapes from white contruction paper. Then you'll have a nest.

Here you get a stick and put tape on the back side of the hen.

Finally you make a cut on the plate so that the stick will be inserted inside. It looks like the hen is sitting on the nest. Here kids can make a stick puppet show from it and move it however they want. Doesn't it look great?

This is the tree of proverbs! I got a fake tree and staple two proverbs each 2 or 3 weeks. I put the tree in the story corner. We learn the proverbs, they understand, memorize and then i staple it to the tree. They like to read from it and that way they won't forget them.

Every week i post a new word i usually pick hard words. Kids at this age grasp anything so don't think if it's hard they won't get it! U'll be astonished at how kids will benefit from this and will even start using them in sentences. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE GRADE ONES!

This is our story corner as you can see it's very cozy. There are stories 2 couches and a carpet. I use this corner mostly for early finishers to grab a story and read quietly after they finish their work. Sometimes i sit with the girls in the corner and i read stories for them. Other times i get puzzles and games and we sit in a circle and play together.

I finally got a bamboo for the classroom! each week i assign one of the students to water it and take care of it ....Teachers a bamboo plant brings positive energy to the classroom!

The theme we were working on was how people work together. So i decided to have kids get magazines that they dont need anymore from home. They broguht the magazine to class and we had a collage. I told them they have to look for people working together. Some found a makeup artist putting make up for a girl, others found soccer players working together as a team, student and teacher working together etc.... This was the display outside the classroom door. I like to display students'posters outside so when parents come to pick up their children they will see what their kids are doing and at the same time as class decoration.
