I Am Still Alive!

In the midst of another week of my teaching adventure, I am having a great time! It is stressful and a lot of work, but the kids are so much fun! This week I had them create tribe habitats for the 5 tribes of Utah. They were divided into groups and each had a tribe to research. They brought everything they needed to make habitats showing the food, clothing, shelter, and way of life of their tribe. This is them in the process of creating:






























The finished products!




















It was fun, just listening to them work together! They were so cute! The made pretty cool little habitats. It is fun also to see what their creative little minds could do.

I also had some of the students that were looking for a "job" to do, rearrange my collection of books that were given to me by a retiring teacher. Here are the pictures of them! I couldn't resist how they sorted them out.... and then look at how they spelled the categories out on the boxes.... :)
