SPRING...You must have been a beautiful baby!!

Fresh off the "redo" press and I am thrilled with the results.

Our district has a "human growth and development" plan.

This packet addresses it perfectly.  It is so much fun seeing the kiddos baby pictures and then comparing them to today.  The craft is perfect for the bulletin board...You must have been a beautiful baby!!"  Happy Spring all!!

Don't these look real??!!

Friday Freebie!!

Spring is upon us and two popular Springtime animals are the duck and the rabbit so....
Why not begin with the delightful story by Amy Rosenthal...Duck! Rabbit!?

This is perfect for the primary student.  In this freebie I have embedded several standards that the kiddos will enjoy completing.
First off ... "What you see?"
Students collect key ideas from the text and then write a paragraph.

Next is a data collection activity.  Students will enjoy asking their friends what they saw and maybe even trying to do some convincing.

The packet also includes two other activities where students use recall skills from the story.  It may need rereading!!  What fun having the children chime in as you read the pages.

Two other of my favorites for the classroom are...

 

This is an absolute favorite of the kiddos and brings smiles and creative thinking.

This is perfect for 1st graders..exclamation mark...especially to provide opportunity for discussion and practice with punctuation skills!!

Enjoy Duck! Rabbit!

Clever Tom!!

The Leprechaun stopped by today and left our tiny hats and an "elf" cookie treat.
We read Clever Tom and the Leprechaun followed by some creative ideas on HOW WOULD YOU CATCH A LEPRECHAUN.  My teammates had their kiddos make traps but my class is a little "out of their bubbles" this year sooooo we wrote about catching them instead.  Not nearly as much fun BUT we were able to keep the kiddos under control.  I need a little "elf" magic on a daily basis this year!! Oh I did do something out of the ordinary and sprinkled a tiny "fairy dust"...green sparkles...on their desk.  I told them if they keep VERY quiet that this "fairy dust" attracted leprechauns.  So you see my plan of action!!
