I have seriously got to get better about blogging more. Life around my house has been CRAZY! We are moving in 4 days and all I can see is boxes, boxes and MORE boxes. The good news is we are on spring break this week, so I have plenty of time to finish packing.
Oviparous Animals
We made an ostrich. These turned out too cute and the children learned lots of facts about the flightless bird. Check them out:
We also recorded our learning about ostriches on this graphic organizer.
Since Easter was coming up, we decided to have a math Easter Egg hunt in the classroom. This was AWESOME! Here’s what I did, I made up 20 different math questions. Some were addition, some money, some measuring, etc. The children had a recording sheet. They walked around and found eggs, recorded their answer and kept on moving. I can’t tell you how much fun the kids had. They were begging to do it again the next day! Here are a few pics
So now, I’m taking a break from packing and going to do some planning. When we return we are starting our BUGGY BUGS theme, another favorite of mine J





The ostrich is ADORABLE!!! I am in love!
