I was just plain exhausted all week
after coming back from Spring Break.
I didn't do or get near as much done
as in a normal week, let alone a
holiday week! I am STILL not caught
up on reading blogs, emailing, etc. either!
How many of you still have spring break
coming up? At the end of my post,
I have a free Spring Break Survey for
your students to complete after break!

My last post was about a new packet
I created for the story
The Easter Bunny's Assistant
by Jan Thomas.
1. We spent a day doing all of the
activities in this packet.
To start it off I read the story
wearing this awesome hat I found
in a gas station in Beaver, Wyoming
on my way to Las Vegas.
I couldn't believe it!
There....in a clearance bin...
a SKUNK HAT!!
If you wouldn't think I was nuts I'd
say finding the hat was the best part of the trip!
One activity from the packet.
2. Egg Geodes
This is an awesome science experiment
I read about on Kristen's blog.
Check out her blog post here.
She gives very detailed information!
Click here for the actual science site.
The Results!
It is just an amazing, fun experiment!
The kiddos LOVED it!
3. Graphing jelly beans
Jelly bean experiments
4. Nonstandard Measurement
The first picture is from my
Measure My Life packet.
This was the last activity,
Measure My Teacher.
Please ignore the bottom of my shoes!
The pea gravel on our playground just
tears up dress shoes!
This activity is from Teach with Laughter.
Check it out here!
5. Good Friday/Easter Party
We have an Easter egg hunt every
year, provided by a couple of people
in our town.
I have a small party in our room with
treats and the movie, Here Comes Peter Cottontail.
Bunny Hop at the end of the day!

after spring break survey!

After the Easter egg hunt this morning,
I told the kids they could pick out one
piece of candy to eat now and one to eat later.
The rest was to go into their bags in their lockers.
It was taking forrreevvvveeeerrr!!
So I told them I was counting down from 10
and any candy left out was MINE!
Never have I seen those guys move so fast!!
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh wow! Look at all the fun you've had!!! Yay!! Sometimes I think "breaks" are not really breaks at all!!

My break is almost over. I don't think I ever really catch up. The more blogs I read, the more I find to follow. That just puts me even farther behind. Haha

My Spring Break is coming to an end and it makes me sad as well. However, it looks like you had an awesome week coming back from the break! I love your spring break survey and definitely plan to use it in the classroom next week. Thanks! :)

Wow! It looks like you all had a wonderful week. The egg geodes are SO cool. Even though we have Spring Break this week, I might have to pull this out next week. I have not read the book by Jan Bret, but now, I need to find a copy! :)
