Spring and an Easter Craft

Spring has Sprung

It's nice to have warm weather again! Since Easter is right around the corner, it is fun to think of all of the fun egg and bunny activities that we can do with our students that keep their interest high.

Easter Bunny Inspiration

When my daughter was younger, I loved smocking dresses for her. I would usually have one planned for Easter Sunday, so I was super glad when Easter fell in mid-April. That meant I had more time to get it finished in time without too many late nights. 

She has since grown out of wearing those cute dresses, so I have focused my creativity on meaningful activities for my students. I must admit...the multitude of cute clip art that is available these days keeps me inspired year-round! So...here is my latest craft with writing resources. 

Easter Egg Craft with Opinion Writing Resources

Do your students love Easter Egg Hunts? What a great topic to write about! Here is an Easter Egg Craft that will lend itself well to a writing activity.

                                      Below is a preview of the printables that are included.

A Writing Map-tivity

My students LOVED dancing and singing to Dr. Jean's song, "The Cool Bear Hunt." Every year they get so engaged in the song and the order of events on the hunt. They also have a great time creating a map to the bear's cave, complete with compass rose and map key. Since "craftivity" has become a common word among teachers, I decided to call this a "map-tivity." Who coined the word "craftivity" anyway?

Here are some student examples of our map-tivity:

After the transformation. Isn't that bear so cute?!

I decided to wait on the opinion writing activity for a few weeks while we continue with maps and "Before There was a Georgia" activities like naming the regions and rivers in our state and how they impacted where the Native Americans lived and where the first European settlers decided to live. 

Have a great day!

Hi Everyone!

I have finally opened my store on TpT! I have had ideas for a while, however, the technology piece is slowing me down a bit. My adorable husband is pretty savvy and has saved the day. Of course school has started, so that takes up most of our energy and brain cells. So, eventually I will have some more things posted in my store.

For now I have my first free product that you can get if you click on the picture.

I also have one paid product that you can check out if you click on that picture. I will post pictures of my classroom examples soon.

Enjoy the rest of your Labor Day weekend!
