When I started my blog in November, I actually made two blogs - one dedicated to Harcourt Trophies reading series and another dedicated to everything else "Primary Techie". I will now be using this blog solely for Harcourt Trophies reading. If you do not use this series or no longer want to follow this blog, please follow my other blog at primarytechie.blogspot.com.
This week my class will be reading "Busy Buzzy Bee". I just love this story (except for the mating part!) This is such a great story because of the photographs. Those grubs look so gross! We will be doing lots of fun bee projects. I read a good idea at F is for First Grade's blog. They cut our bee shapes and glued them on popsicle sticks with a cotton ball glued to the bottom. They then made "Flowers" out of cupcake liners and put yellow cake mix in them for pollen. The bees flew from flower to flower. The pollen stuck to the cotton balls so kids could see how bees spread flower pollen. My class is going to do this for sure. I will take pictures and let you know how it goes.
I have some fun bee themed activities in my TpT store. We will do Busy Bee Handwriting this week. I also have some fun bee Watch, Think, Color games.
I have also created a phonics coloring sheet that you can download for free. It focuses on the long o sound (since that is the sound we will be working on this week).
Check out the literacy stations that correlate with our story this week. Do you have any fun bee ideas to share? I hope everybody has a very buzzzzzy week!
