Butterfly life cycle

Here is a quick assessment to check the students understanding of a butterfly's life cycle. 

Graduation gifts

Here are a couple things I give my class for graduation. 

The first is a little puzzle I got from a dollar store and glued a cute little poem on it along with smarties. 

Here is the card I give my class.

Fancy word review

To review understanding of our fancy words, I started to go over one word a week. Every Monday morning my class would find our class mascot holding the fancy word of the week. 

We the. Go over the meaning of the word and use it in a sentence. I asked the class to go home and find a picture to go with the word.

Word family review

I did this as a quick review of our word families. I made three columns and gave each student a different word. They came up to the board and wrote their word in the correct column. 

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day I had my students fill out this paper about their mom.

After reading the book Love You Forever, we made a mommy and baby flower picture. I used an Ellison  machine to cut flowers out of the dried up wipes I saved from the butterfly paintings. 

 

I traced each students' hands and they made this fold up card for their mothers.

Letter O

I found online an owl for the letter O. 

It turns out like this...

Easter

Easter time! Here are a few things we did during Lent to prepare for Easter.

Here are a couple of chicks we made. I had all of the pieces cut already. The students got to decorate the egg however they wanted. 

For this cross egg, I used painters tape to make a cross cut out stay in the middle of the egg while  the students used bingo dotters to cover the whole egg. 

Here we made a banner with Jesus' name. We also learned how to remember how to spell His name by using the bingo tune. 

 There is a man who we all love and Jesus is His nameo. J-E-S-U-S!

To hold all of our goodies we got at our egg hunt, we made bunny baskets from milk/juice cartons. To save time, I ask the parents to wash and dry the inside of the carton and cut out the ears. I do this project with the help of 8th grade. The students cover the carton with cotton balls, add face features, and add Easter grass inside the carton.
