As of 2016 I will be taking my blog into a new direction! My focus will be more on content and examples of what I am doing in my classroom.
I have looked back at some of my old blog posts and all I did was prompt my TpT shop, linky parties and freebies. Don't get me wrong, you will see some of my new products I have had in the works, but this blog won't be that focus.
To start off this new focus, I want to share something super fun my 5th graders did this year for Christmas!
For the past 6 years, I have always done a mug exchange with a Polar Express party. Since I'm teaching a new grade this year, I wanted to try something new. I bring you...the Crazy Sock Exchange!
The day of the exchange, the students grabbed their own sock and sat in a circle.
Next, I read a story I found on Pinterest. Every time they heard RIGHT, they would pass it to the right. Every time they heard LEFT, they would pass it to the left.
(don't mind my horrible voice)
You can get the story {HERE}
Once we were done, everyone was able to open the sock they ended up with! It was so much fun!
I had everyone put on their sock and we took a class picture!
I did have a few students who brought socks that were not holiday socks, some boys ended up with more girly socks, some girls got more boyish socks, and some socks didn't fit. But overall, I would totally do this again. Maybe a boy/girl circle instead.
To end our week, our Hawaiiana teacher came and helped my students sing The 12 Days of Christmas...Hawaiian Style!
Enjoy!
Very cute idea! I do a Book Swap with my 4th graders. Kids bring in a wrapped book (it's optional but lots of kids choose to do it), and we play the White Elephant game with the numbers and swapping (I don't call it stealing). Fun times!
ReplyDeleteWe do the left/right game as well, but the students bring in an item they no longer use/want wrapped, and we exchange with someone else. We do a boy circle and a girl circle, although this year a boy ended up with a big baby doll and he totally rolled with it!
