Goodbye January!

1. 100th Day of School

Here are a few reading and math ideas you might try to celebrate this HUGE event!

  • Erin has compiled a list of 10 things you can easily do in your classroom to celebrate the 100th day in Pennridge!  Hope this saves you time!  CLICK HERE!

  • EPIC!  Search 100th Day of School (or Groundhog Day, or Super Bowl, or most anything)  and then click on collections to find collections others have created!








  • Padlet - Students can then respond to the books they read via Padlet.  Padlet is a free, online bulletin board!  Padlet can be used for most any subject and any topic!  Students can type their responses, include pictures and attachments, and more! Padlet is easy to create and we also have this tutorial created by Chris if it helps!
  • 100th day Ozobot activity- Click Here!  Great for grades K-2.

2.  Super Bowl Sunday

Here are 2 activities we found that you and your students might enjoy!
  • Google Earth- Show students the hometown location of both teams, Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City Chiefs)  and Levi's Stadium (San Francisco 49ers), as well as where the game will be played in Hard Rock Stadium in Florida.  You can calculate the mileage between, can take a look at the weather differences, and more!  Use street view (see picture) to show what the towns look like, what the stadium looks like...the possibilities are endless!  How can you tie this into what you're already teaching this week!

3.  Groundhog Day- Seesaw Activities Library

There are tons of ready-to-use activities in the library!  Check them out if you're looking for ideas or a way to incorporate Seesaw into what you're already doing.

Also, don't forget last week's post included a Skype Directed Drawing Activity that can be done for Groundhog Day or Presidents' Day!
