Random Moment #1
We were all about Easter, bunnies, chicks, and such in our classroom yesterday! The kids were fantastic. Not your normal fantastic mind you . . . like mouth hanging open in shock FANTASTIC. It was a magical day! We kicked it all off with Ms. Cupcake's What's Hatchin' Craft. We have been working on that tricky -ck rule, so I altered the activity just a bit to help us practice this tough spelling concept! The best part is that "chicks" are springy enough for me to leave up on the wall for a bit :) Thanks Cupcake!
Random Moment #2
After our BIG 7th Grade Buddies helped us with the craftivity, we moved into station rotations! Usually I am all about workin' my babes' tails off during groups, but Friday was all about the F-U-N! So, they created crayon-resist masterpieces and made silly Easter Basket Hats. Have you seen these hats?? They popped up on my Pinterest home page on Thursday evening and I abandoned the run of the mill bunny ears immediately. They are the brain child of Learning With Mrs. Parker! So easy and the kiddlets LOVED them.

I pulled out all the stops for my amazing crew and we dyed eggs too. In years past, all of the parents were invited to come in and help, but I just didn't want the stress this year. So, I asked two brave mommies to run the station. It was perfect and my little cuties were in heaven . . . even if our room did smell a little like feet all afternoon :)
Random Moment #4
Following our Easter Party, we had one more final hoorah before the bell sounded and we all went our merry way. I hosted my annual Egg Hunt. We had so many chocolate eggs donated that I asked my teachin' bestie to join us (the last thing I wanted was a phone call from a parent letting me know that their kid puked from too many sweets). We lined the kids up on the fence and they watched me chuck the eggs while Mrs. H held them back :) When the whistle blew, off they went . . . they were darling and the sharing that took place was enough to melt even the hardest of hearts.
Random Moment #5
Although my summary pack is calling my name, I quickly updated my Spring Skills Baseball Packet that I made last year. I was trying to figure out where I wanted to go right after Spring Break . . . I'm just not quite ready to launch into our Open House Unit (Africa). So, after a bit of brainstorming, BASEBALL it is! Personally, I am itchin' for the season to start (Let's Go Giants). . . and I just know my boys are going to love it!
I also created a little freebie portion of this unit too. Try the Is It A Double? Ending Sort in your class this spring. If the game is a hit with your crew, come on back and pick up the rest of the pack.
