<span style="font-family: KG Lego House;">I am so thrilled to linking up with Mrs D's Corner to bring you this great Winter Fun Blog Hop and Giveaway. Some of my favourite bloggers have put together an amazing Winter e-book just for you and we are giving away an amazing prize!!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: KG Lego House;">A number of people have been asking for this so I thought I would share with you how I teach my favourite winter art activity to my firsties. Every year, we do a bunch of snowmen art activities. Since I am not the most amazing art teacher in the world, Pinterest has become my best friend. When I came across this great pin I knew I had to do this activity with my kiddos, but no matter how hard I looked I couldn't find instructions.</span></div>

Each class will be responsible for making and decorating 20 valentines. <u>Please, no store bought cards</u>. Classes are encouraged to write a letter describing their community and school. You can photocopy the letter to save on time, especially for younger grades.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: large;">It's hard to believe that it has been a year already. The ladies and gent of the Primary Pack are back for our 2nd Annual "All I Want For Black Friday" Linky. Now being from Canada, we already had Thanksgiving back in October and we have nothing as amazing as our neighbours to the south's sales. But, we over the last few years we have started to have more. Who doesn't love a sale right??? </span></div>

We are also hosting a HUGE Black Friday giveaway, check it out below, you don't want to miss it!</span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: large;"><b>Fit Bit: </b>So I'm dying to jump on the Fit Bit wagon. I feel like the only person who doesn't have one. I love the colour of this teal Fit Bit. It's so different then the normal black. True it probably won't match everything. Hmmm...maybe I need one in each colour?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: large;"><b>Kobo or Chapters Gift Card: </b>So I am a total bookworm. In fact, I have become such a bookworm that I have spent way more time reading than TPTing or blogging. Which is sad, but it's so hard to put down my ereader. Have you heard of <b><a href="http://landers.bookbub.com/covers_ca/?source=gabrand_ca&region=ca&gclid=CLLF_5aLo8kCFYkBaQod6AcJUQ" target="_blank">BookBub</a></b>?

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: large;">I always tell my kiddos that they are going to make pumpkins out of plasticine and they get so excited. But then, I tell them I have a problem. I don't have any orange Plasticine! There little faces always get so serious. You can see their little gears turning. Then you get the little hand that pops up, "Mrs. MacGillivary, could we make orange plasticine?" BINGO!!!!</span></div>

</span> <span style="font-size: large;">If you have read any of my posts in the past you may have noticed that I am not the most organized teacher in the world. I'm that teacher that has a desk overflowing with stuff...I'd like to say that it is organized chaos. But to be honest, usually it is just chaos.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">That is until this past year, when I made my Teacher's Tool Box! This helped with my organization so much, and it even matched my classroom theme! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: KBScaredStraight;"><span style="font-size: 24px;">I can't take credit for this recipe, my friend Nicole told me about it. My oldest daughter, Anna is 9 and she has decided that she is going to be a chef. She has made us some interesting items...lets say. Not sure how we are still alive. Nicole suggested this recipe because it's super easy! Easy enough for a nine year old to do, with help!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: KBScaredStraight;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="font-family: KBScaredStraight;"><span style="font-size: 24px;">I have to admit this recipe is a little longer than 30 minutes. Prep will take about 10 minutes, and cook time about 35 minutes. But I'm telling you it's worth the wait!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Janda Polkadot Party;"><span style="font-size: 24px; letter-spacing: 4px;">Last summer my Aunt, joined as the cottage for a very rainy week at the cottage. She brought the best puzzle toy ever! Have you tried Find It? They are so much fun. Check them out on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=find+it" target="_blank">Amazon</a>. They have all kinds of them. </span></span></div>

I'm thinking that tennis ball containers would work perfectly! Check out this great pin to see how they made theirs. When I'm done I'll share mine. :)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Janda Polkadot Party'; font-size: 24px; letter-spacing: 4px;">I made these a couple of years ago for my kiddos and they were a huge hit! I totally forgot about them until I saw this pin. My girls and I have been saving water bottle lids to make these. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Janda Polkadot Party;"><span style="font-size: 24px; letter-spacing: 4px;">My last project for the summer is pretty cool. Glue sponges are all the rage. Everyone is talking about using them. But, I think this pin is even cooler! BINGO DAUBER GLUE SPONGES. I'm hoping that my local Michael's store will carry them. I did find them on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sargent-Brushless-Paint-Marker-Dispensers/dp/B0042SWPHM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1438273372&sr=8-2&keywords=bingo+daubers+tips+and+caps" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, if I can't find them. Obviously they are more pricey, then your typical glue sponges, but I love how you can use them on bigger jobs.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">I have to admit, that until I attended a workshop put on by my school district in May this year, I had never really considered using programming in my grade 1 class. The workshop really intrigued me, so when I was approached by <a href="http://www.canadianclassroom.com/" target="_blank">Canadian Classrooms</a> to review one of their programmable floor robots in my Canadian classroom... </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">I was so excited</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">I was loaned the <a href="http://www.canadianclassroom.com/bee-botr-floor-robot.html" target="_blank">Bee-Bot</a> Rechargeable, child friendly, programmable floor robot to use in my classroom for the month of June. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><i><u>Appearance</u></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">First, this little robot is so cute. The looks of the robot are engaging to young students. The big eyes flash when it is in operation. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">The Bee-Bot is very easy to use. On the top of the Bee-Bot are the controls. The options are forwards, backwards, right turn, left turn, and GO. The X clears the memory and the II gives a 1 second pause.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><i><u>Battery Life</u></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">The battery life on the robot is very good. The battery lasted for about 6 hours of student use. The Bee-Bot will go into sleep mode when not used for 2 minutes. This is a great feature when being used by young children, as we all know how well most of them remember to turn off their toys.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">To charge, the Bee-Bot is plugged into a USB port. The instructions say that it takes 12 hours to fully charge, but I just left it over night so it was ready to use the next day. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><i><u>Sound</u></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">The sound is one of my favourite things about this product. The sound has it's own switch, so it can be turned off when you don't want to use it. However, even when the sound is on, the beeps it makes aren't too loud. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><i><u>Usability</u></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">My students needed very little direct instruction on how to use the Bee-Bot. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">What I really like about this Bee-Bot is that the robot remembers the program that the students have already entered so that they can add on to their program and they didn't have to their program over each time. It will remember up to</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"> 40 steps!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><b>How we used the Bee-Bot</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">If you have read my blog or my posts on the Primary Pack, you may know that I have been experimenting with open ended problem solving in math and developing problem solving skills in my students. Well, the Bee-Bot is perfect for this! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">The students played a variety of games with the Bee-Bot. Here are a few of their favourites</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><i><u>Catch the Ghost</u></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">We used a little ghost eraser, but any small item could be used. The Bee-Bot was placed on the carpet or floor and the ghost eraser was placed in a different spot. Students then problem solved and designed a program that would get the Bee-Bot from the starting line to the eraser. This activity encouraged the students to problem solve as well as collaborate with each other. They would try their program and refine it as needed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><i><u>Obstacle Course</u></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">This activity was similar to <i>Catch the Ghost except students placed obstacles that the Bee-Bot had to go around.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><i><u>Mazes</u></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">Once the students got more experience programming the Bee Bot, they started creating their own ideas. A group of students decided that they wanted to design a maze for the Bee-Bot to go through. The students experimented with a variety of materials to make their mazes. They decided that old wrapping paper worked really well. The wrapping paper they used had square grids on the back. The students realized that the Bee-Bot was about 3 squares wide and moved approximately 5 squares, so they designed a three square wide course. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">Do you see where the math fun came in? Once they realized that the Bee-Bot moved 5 squares they challenged themselves to figure out how many squares their maze was altogether and how many times the Bee-Bot would have to move forward! Yeah! Integration! Measurement and Number Sense!!! Bam!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><i><u>Mapping</u></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">Although, I didn't get an opportunity to do this with my students, I think using the Bee-Bot to teach mapping would be great, especially with older grades. It would encourage students to use mapping language (North, South, East, West instead of Forward, Backwards, Left and Right). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><b>What did my students think of the Bee-Bot</b></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><i>"I liked that I could make my own little pattern and I could control where he went. He's like my own pet!" ~C</i></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><b>Overall</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">Although programming is not in the grade 1 curriculum in Ontario, the Bee-Bot is engaging, it encourages students to <b>problem solve</b>, <b>collaborate</b>, <b>communicate their thinking,</b> <b>explore</b> and <b>create</b>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">It is easily integrated into other subject areas, such as math (i.e. If Bee-Bot moves forward 5 squares a turn. How far would Bee-Bot move if it moved forward 5 times?), mapping and language (i.e. write directions for the Bee-Bot). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">Next time, my principal asks for items for our wish list the Bee-Bot is going to be on it. I think the Bee-Bot can be easily adapted to be used with so many different grades all the way from Kindergarten to Grade 6, maybe even grade 8. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to experiment with programming in my classroom. I need to get a Bee-Bot of my own!!! If you are interested in giving programming a try, I would highly suggest that you try out the <a href="http://www.canadianclassroom.com/bee-botr-floor-robot.html" target="_blank">Bee-Bot</a> from <a href="http://www.canadianclassroom.com/" target="_blank">Canadian Classrooms</a>!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">Thanks for stopping by! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Janda Safe and Sound Solid';">I am so happy to be back this month for Pick 3 hosted by PAWstively Teaching and Inspired Owl's Corner. I totally flaked last month, I can't even tell you what happened. The 3rd of March just some how disappeared.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Janda Safe and Sound Solid;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Janda Safe and Sound Solid;">So, I love teaching art! It's one of my favourite subjects. I love when little firsties can make something amazing that they are super proud of. In art this month I want to focus on famous artists. </span><span style="font-family: 'Janda Safe and Sound Solid'; font-size: 18pt;"></span><br />

I had never been before, so I was super nervous. If you take a look at my blog you might think I'm kind of artsy. Well the truth is that I'm not at all. </span></span><br><span style="font-family: 'A Year Without Rain';"><span style="font-size: large;"><br></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain;">This is how it works. We met up at Milestones with about 30 other complete strangers, and this lovely lady took us step by step in making this amazing painting! I was super happy with how my painting turned out. Social art seems to be a new fad! But, it's soo much fun. You should definitely check it out!</span></span><br><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain;"><br></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain;"> <b>Tuesday:</b> I worked on a puzzle with Anna. Anna is my eight year old daughter. She is growing up so fast. I really enjoyed working on something with her! She was so excited to solve the 150 piece puzzle!</span></span><br><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain;"><br></span></span><span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><b> Wednesday:</b> We are not big partiers in my household. But, we put on a wicked Dance Party, every New Year's Eve. We set the timer on the Microwave, and turn the tunes up! The girls even made their own playlist! When, the timer goes off we count down from 10. The best part is the girls are still in bed by 9:00! I don't think they quite understand that New Years is actually at midnight. PLEASE!!!! DON'T TELL THEM!!!!!</span><br><span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><br></span><span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"> <b>Thursday: </b>We had dinner with my teaching partner's family. Her daughter is sooooooo cute, and my girls love playing with her. It is so sweet watching them be the big kids!</span><br><span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><br></span><span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"> <b>Friday: </b>We got together with old friends, and I mean "old" friends. Adam and his friend have been friends since grade 3!!!! And let me tell you Adam is no longer a young guy! (He had a big birthday last year!) Although they don't live too far away, we don't get to see them very often. So it was nice to catch up!</span><br><span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><br></span><span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;">I hope you link up with Gina from Miss Peluso's Kindergarten every Sunday!

<br />
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;">One of my favourite snowmen books is "Snowmen at Night" by Caralyn Buehner. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;">I did this art activity with my Firsties last night, and it turned out amazing. So I will definitely do it again this year.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;">Another great snowman book is "Snowzilla" by Janet Lawler. It is a perfect way to teach perspective.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;">This is such a cute idea.! This is my lesson for Monday morning! What a brilliant activity! Students create their own snowman and then describe him/her. It will make a great bulletin board display!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><b>Listening:</b> I'm currently listening to my cats purr. Seriously! My girls are in bed. My husband is on the iPad and I'm sitting here surrounded by three purring cats. The peace and quiet is absolutely amazing. After a day of visiting friends, I need this. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;">The girls received homemade Elsa and Ana hats from Grandma for Christmas. Do you think the cats are enjoying them?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><b>Loving:</b> I'm loving being home and getting to spend time with my girls. We are so lucky that Adam, my husband is off with us as well. We've had so much fun. Between trips to see my parents up north (in the Barrie area), to day trips to movies, shopping, doing crafts, and puzzles and New Years Dance Parties! We have had a blast. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><b>Thinking:</b> I'm really wondering if 9:00 is too early to go to bed during the holidays? Especially since, I slept in until 10:00 this morning. I'm usually a night owl but right now I'm exhausted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><b>Wanting:</b> I'm really wanting one more week of holidays. Trying to visit everyone is exhausting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><b>Needing:</b> I'm needing an Advil. I've been battling a headache all day I'm ready to give in and take one!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><b>Yes:</b> I plan to take up cross country skiing this winter. If that doesn't work out, I might just stick to snow shoeing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><b>Maybe:</b> I would love to make it to the TPT conference this year! Not sure if it's in the budget though. Especially since, I would have to stowaway Adam in my carry on. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: A Year Without Rain; font-size: large;"><b>I wish:</b> I really wish that I would reach my first TPT milestone! Wishful thinking? I hope not!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Janda Safe and Sound;"><span style="font-size: 24px;">My favourite restaurant has got to be Boston Pizza! Have you ever tried their Spicy Perogy Pizza????? It is by far my most favourite meal. I'm sure the rest of their menu is amazing but I've never tried anything else! They also have a great kids meal.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Janda Safe and Sound;"><span style="font-size: 24px;">My favourite stores??? Hmmm...this is a tough one. I have so many! My favourite children's clothing store has got to be Bonnie Togs/Carters. The quality of their clothes is fantastic and my girls love their style. I'm sad that Anna is almost too big for their clothing.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Janda Safe and Sound;"><span style="font-size: 24px;">My favourite clothing store is Laura. We have an outlet by my house! Who doesn't love spending $20 instead of $100!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Janda Safe and Sound;"><span style="font-size: 24px;">One of my favourite things about the holidays is spending time with my family. Each year my mom makes everyone gingerbread houses to decorate. It started off being all of my cousins and my sisters, but now it's usually just a close family affair. Even Adam (my husband) gets to decorate a gingerbread house.</span></span><br />
