This week we will be sequencing  a chick hatching and then put it inside a plastic egg. I also put a little fuzzy chick from the dollar stores inside.

Napkin books are so easy and fun!

We will be searching with our magnifying glasses for tiny words. On the back of this page we write a story using the words we found! This is activity is found in my 

Froggy's fantastic Sight Word Pack.

We finished up  our Eric Carle Unit with this flow map and then my Kiddos made a butterfly on  a branch. The branch was a paper towel roll covered with brown paper. 

The Caterpillar flow map went inside!

The butterflies came out so cute!

Last week we also completed our Seahorse

 Opinions and Facts based on Eric Carle's Mister Seahorse.

Enjoy your Day! Happy Spring!

Has Your Leprechaun Moved In Yet? Plus a Fun St. Patrick's Day Freebie!

During literacy centers this week my little leprechauns played this fun sight word game. Each child picks a friend to play with and they take turns spinning, reading and coloring the word on the coin in the leprechaun’s pot. The first friend to fill their pot with gold is the winner! Click here for this activity.

Using a pencil and a paper clip children take turns spinning for a word on the gold coins!

We also made this fun little napkin book. The pictures to glue on your napkin book are included with the link above !

With all this talk of leprechauns our favorite leprechaun “Paddy” started moving in his furniture yesterday! I sure hope we can catch him before St. Patrick's Day!

Spring Literacy Center Ideas! Plus a Freebie!

 

Well I’m all moved in my temporary classroom! The walls are all bulletin board so I have a lot to get decorated. Right now it looks a little boring! I’ll only be here two and half months so I’m not going to go too crazy. This past week we learned about “Living things that come from eggs” Here are some of our Literacy center activities!

Egg Rhymes! Use a sharpie to write the rhyme on one half of the egg and right the onset on the other. I made 6 different eggs and the children write them in their “Chick likes to Rhyme” book! 

I put the these fun bunny hats out and they can wear them when they do activities at this table!

When children are finished with their activities at this table they can Write the Room

We sequenced a chicks little life and glued it on register tape. Next the children roll it up and put in a plastic egg. For fun I added a little yellow chick inside the eggs!

 

Spring is here thinking map! We brainstormed what happens in the spring then they used their thinking map to complete their napkin book. Spring thinking map freebie!

My kids could write anything they wanted about spring in their books they came out really cute!

It was and “eggy” week so we also wrote a little booklet about other animals that come from eggs.

To end out the week we made

yummy eggs in a nest! Check back soon I’m going to be giving out a freebie everyday this week!
