Summer School Week 2

I can’t believe we are halfway through summer school…2 more weeks

 left and I will soon be on my summer vacay! I have to say that time

 seems to be flyin’ by…good thing too!

This week we had a Lemonade Day, Father’s Day craftivity and a Fun

with Bubbles Day! We started the week makin’ our Father’s Day Gift…I

 knew I wanted to use the adorable lil’ Father’s Day photo props that

 have been floating around on Pinterest!

So Monday morning, I downloaded them, cut them out and grabbed a

 frame from my garage and headed to work.

My sidekick (Mrs. Haynes) and I got started workin’ on our crafting

 adventure! She took the photos and I hooked our kiddos up with the

 cutsie photo props! Ms. Zamora and Mrs. Mayer worked on our cute

 Father’s Day shirts and away we went! I think they turned out cauuute!

Click HERE to download your free copy of the adorable 

Father’s Day photo props!

Check out how ours turned out…  

Tie and border were made from gift wrapping paper!

Our lil’ soon to be FIRSTIES had lots of fun with our

“How To Make Lemonade Craftivity”.

I found a SUPER DUPER caute Backyard Barbeque Unit 

over at “1st Grade With Miss Snowden”… adorable blog! 

I knew it would be

 puuurrrfect for our summer school activities!

I used Miss. Snowden’s lemonade glass template and

WELL….

 I added GLITZ (glitter) to it!

The lemon slice is actually a 


“SCRATCH & SNIff” smelly!

  I used a lemon flavored JELLO powder mix!

YUPPERS! JELLO!

First I applied glue to the paper lemon slice 

(use a glue stick for this step). 

Next sprinkle the powder mixture all over the

 surface of the lemon slice…be generous with the mixture!

Then let it dry and in no time you have a SMELLY!

 Kiddos flip for this stuff…who knew!

Well, I do now…bahahaha!

First Week Of Summer School

YAY! We made it through our first week of summer school… only 12 more days to go!!!!  I can do this! I just wanted to share a quick post about what we’ve been doing through out our 4day week. 

I feel very LUCKY to be apart of our “Bilingual Program” being a Dual Teacher and all! Last year our district added two ESL teachers to their Bilingual Summer School Program to model after our current Dual Language Program. I was hired last summer and just loved it! I get to work with my future Spanish students and start building a relationship with them…how cool is that! 


It’s a little different in that we only have our Spanish kiddos but they still get instruction in English one day and Spanish the next day. It’s a great program and it prepares them for the coming year. 


My partner, Mrs. Zamora had her group make the same craftivities but in Spanish of course!


So CHECK IT OUT….

OOOOOhhhh, How I <3 you PINTEREST:
