Here's an Angry Verbs Bulletin Board my students created...they did such a great job on it! I got the basic idea for the board from Pinterest...but man they came up with the idea for the rock, the pause button, the 2X button, the sun, the golden egg...it was all them! They had so much fun! You can't see it, but each bird/pig has a sentence on it with the verb underlined. This was the culminating activity for our 6 week unit on verbs. We had a TON of fun!
Let's face it...teaching can be hard. It can be stressful. And at times you may even consider throwing in the towel! Tearless Teaching is a blog for teachers who want to find ideas that help make teaching less frustrating. It includes ideas to help organize your classroom, activities that are versatile and fairly easy to create, and other ideas that as a whole make teaching even more rewarding! I love teaching and my desire is to help other educators love it as much as I do!

Angry Bird Birthday Party
Ok...so today's post belongs more under the blog Parenting without Tears, but as I've been busy replanning my son's birthday party...he last minute decided to go with an Angry Birds theme instead of Legos...I decided to go ahead and blog about that today.
While waiting for his cupcakes to mix, here's my boy announcing to the world that he's 5! Yes, 5! Note the Angry Bird shirt!

Back up a moment...and here he is pouring the ingredients in the mixer bowl for his cupcakes...

The flag that I was going to hang up outside, but then upon further reflection realized we wouldn't be in the front yard, so we wouldn't see it. Alas, we hung it up in the dining room and will be hanging it on his new Angry Birds wall in his room (he currently has a Cars wall and a Super Hero wall).

Some other decorations....Angry Bird balloons and a banner....there was a white balloon, too, but the kids had played with them and I couldn't find it when I went to take the picture. Needless to say, it was found later and my husband snapped a picture for me.

Here's one of the games we played. This game was Pin the Beak on the Angry Bird. It was SOOOO easy and would work for any theme. I went to Walmart, bought a poster, and went to the teacher store to laminate it (only $0.75!). Then I scanned the beak part of the poster, added the kids' names in the Angry Bird font (incidentally it's called Feast of Flesh - REALLY?!), printed the beaks, and cut them out. Then we threw the poster up on the wall (using painter's tape) and we were good to go. We'll be putting this up in his room on his new Angry Bird wall, too!

Here's the life size Angry Birds game we played in the backyard. We had boxes set up on the other side of the yard that they aimed at.
Favor bags were very easy - I bought the hard plastic cups (we have a ton of these and my kids love them) and filled them with a small Angry Birds kite, a frisbee flier (which wasn't Angry Birds so I printed small circles with Angry Birds in them and glued them over what was there), a bottle of bubbles (which I wanted to print a label for to put over the original one and just ran out of time to do so), and Angry Bird tattoos.

Here's our watermelon we filled with fruit. I had thought about printing pieces to put on the watermelon to make it look like the pig (kind of like I did with the balloons above) but could never come up with a way to attach them to the watermelon that I liked. In fairness, it wasn't really that important to me, so I really didn't brainstorm all that much.

Ok...last picture...this is the red Angry Bird cupcake the kids decorated. They used jelly beans, black licorice, monster eyes, jellied orange fruit slices, and a sliced marshmallow.
