Happy Saturday! I can’t believe it’s the first day of October. Besides the fact that its 92 degrees, I just can’t believe we are already heading towards report cards and parent conferences. YIKES!!!!!
So this week we learned about action words, or, as I like to call them, VERBS. I mean, why revisit nouns two weeks in a row? Let’s just move right along, right? So off we went to discover verbs. Again, I use the two terms interchangeably depending on who is in the room, near the room, or passing by my windows appearing as if they MIGHT come in my room. Not to mention, the first grade team always has each other’s backs and if one were to see an administrator or a V.I.P., we knock on the wall. That’s a heads up to get yourself in order. Not that we’re doing anything wrong, per se, but if, for example, I am reading a chapter of Junie B. instead of my regularly scheduled program anthology at that exact moment in which my plans state that I will be, I can adjust things accordingly.
Back to verbs — I played the song “Bop Till You Drop” from the Greg and Steve cd titled “Kids In Action”. The kids had to do whatever the song said, such as bounce, jiggle, spin, etc. Lots of fun had by all, mainly me, until we had to spin. I got a little dizzy and fell on a couple of kiddos but no one was seriously injured. Then we played a game of Simon Says in which kids had to carry out the verb I said. I threw in sight words and nouns to see if they could distinguish between all of these words. We brainstormed words and then acted out the following cards:
Kristen,
I love your blog and your posts keep me laughing! We did nouns last week. I know your done with those "naming words" for now, but you can see some of my activities at my blog. Thanks for sharing the verb stuff as we are doing them this coming week.

Love these cards… and, I agree with Kris- looks like DJ Groovey to me! Thanks for posting these!
I really meant I'M so sick of this stupid heat. Interrupting Chicken/Husband made me do it.
You made me crack up, on the part you wrote, about getting dizzy and falling on some kiddos. Hilarious! Love ya! 🙂
Your blog is my favorite! I love your sense of humor.
Thanks for the cute and helpful cards.
HA! I always giggle reading your posts and your not so discreet hints about how you REALLY feel about all the hoops and craziness we teachers have to jump through! Who makes all these ridiculous rules/decisions, anyway?
I just came across this post and cannot tell you how adorable these are! I can't wait to use these when we go back to school!
