labels

We started out with this anchor chart seen on The Inspired Apple and Eberhart's Explorers. They helped me label the cat then we looked for labels around the classroom, that wasn't hard.

They even labeled me! They thought it was hysterical when someone created a label for my teeth and bottom. My labels kept falling off, you will need super sticky post-its. This idea came from Julie Lee.

I pulled out my huge apple and had them help me label the parts (the labels are from What The Teacher Wants)

Then they practiced labeling by making their own apple and labeling the parts.

This is my example, I saw this on First Grader at Last.

Since this little lesson they have been labeling their drawings on their own!!
