Easter and Spring Crafts

So I am trying to plan some fun activities for Easter and Spring.

I have been collecting milk jugs and toilet paper rolls.

This is what I have in mind.

Then I am going to let the kids make butterfly wings out of coffee filters and markers.

For the milk jugs, I am trying to make an Easter basket for each of my kiddos.

It will look something like this...

My Classroom

Each day my students take a timed math test to test their fact fluency. We are using a free app for iPads called: Timed Test Free. I use a recording sheet to document scores for the whole class. I also give Skittles for those who increase their scores, or at least maintain their score from the day before.
I have seen a HUGE improvement in their addition fluency skills.

St. Patrick's Day Is Almost Here

Look what I just got in the mail!
Thank you, First Grade Blue Skies for introducing me to this little guy.
I cannot wait to read this book and have fun with our own little classroom leprechaun.

St. Patrick's Day Is Almost Here

I am working on getting ready to plan for St. Patrick's Day.

I have been working on some new products. These are great to enrich your first graders or help your second graders learn how to add two digit numbers with regrouping.
