Well, as a student teacher, I learn all sorts of new things daily. My mentor is absolutely amazing and she is really hands on with the students. I am eager to share with you what we did this week for synonyms. My mentor, Mrs. Winstead, put this lovely Pinterest idea to life. It was definitely NOT a Pinterest Fail. *haha* So, all week we talked about synonyms and then on Fabulous Friday we made a hallway display with paint swatches.
(paint swatches = teacher's best friend)
The kiddos were introduced to a thesaurus today and they really used what they learned and ran with it.
Paint swatches really are great! There are many crafts and activities that you can do and/or make with these little nifty things. (not to mention--- they are FREE) and what teacher complains about free?
So, below you can find pictures of what our class put together and as my first blog post, I really hope you enjoy it!!
This is all the teacher preparation that goes into this activity, other than displaying it in the hallway.

As you can see they put in a lot of hard work and they came out magnificently. So, you are probably wandering what we did with all of these synonym paint swatches?
Here is what we displayed in the hallway in honor of our students hard work!! It turned out very Spring like and that is exactly what we were aiming for since all of the snow has officially moved out of East Tennessee!
Each student also completed one of these to be displayed with the big flower, they all received a different word to complete and they had to color the synonyms one color and the antonyms a different color!
