Random Moment #1
With St. Pat's falling on Sunday, I needed to get a jump on the next holiday and a fresh bulletin board. So, I ran with my Adjective Bunny craft on Thursday. The kids nailed this one and they really got into it. You can't help but smile when you see these . . . I'll follow up with more Easter injected adjective ditties next week.

| Selecting adjective cards to base their bunny design around - such a tough decision. |
 |
| My babies . . . hard at work! |
 |
| What was this cutie's adjective you ask . . . well, it was LITTLE, of course! |
 |
| These crack me up! I hung them, but forgot to take a picture . . . DUH! |

We wrapped up our weather unit this week and what better way to do it than with Falling Into First's Weather is Wild Packet??!! The ideas in this collection are downright genius and it carried us through two weeks of science fun! The kids worked so hard on their Wild Weather Word Books and they proved to be a wonderful assessment tool as well . . . who knew??!! Thanks STEPH :)

Speaking of weather, we also used Made For 1st Grade's Learning About Weather Packet. We learned all about rainbows one day and ran with their fun rainbow writing activity. I let them create their own rainbow art topper for this one . . . no rules, just gotta remember the color order :) HUGE success!!

Intermixed with bunnies and weather, the kiddlets also received their fair share of leprechaun activities. There is just something about those little green men that gets a first grader all jacked up. Mix this excitement with work and you have some serious worker bees on your hands! We used Teaching With Love and Laughter's St. Patrick's Day ABC Order Freebie. The kids were so engaged and they all went the extra mile! Thanks Lori :)
Random Moment #5
We had a special visitor in our room this week. Who do you ask? Well, none other than the wildly famous Mr. Ron Brown. Yup . . . that über talented guy from Intelli-Tunes did a special live performance for my kiddos this week - if you haven't heard his toe-tappin' standards based tunes, you really should check them out, but I digress. This show was the perfect afternoon break for us (that time change did a number on all of our little brains). The kids had a ball and it truly was a magical moment. So, thanks Mr. B . . . your daughter owes you big time (hahahaha . . . as usual).
