"Fill the Bill" Animal Adaptations

Are you students getting restless with all the warm weather? Mine are.

This is a fun activity that will keep the students busy for a hour. "Fill the Bill" Animal Adaptation Stations is 8 different stations to show students in 3rd - 8th grade how animals have adapted to their environments.

The packet includes directions, center cards, and record sheet for 8 Animal Adaptation Stations using simple tools for students to explore what is best for animals to use. For example, a log with rice on it, to represent bugs. Students have 3 tools (tweezers, fishnet, nutcracker/pliers). They must determine which tool is the best and which animal has a similar beak. Very fun and engaging experiment.

Horton Hatches the Egg for Easter

Enjoy a creative thinking, rhyming and cooking activity to go along with Dr. Seuss' Horton Hatches the Egg. These would be great to do at Easter and focus on different types of eggs.

Enjoy,

Math Monday

Tonight I would like to share some of the best Easter Math Activities I have found.

4th & 5th Grade

I found these great Easter Math Mazes on TPT to review multipiclation and division facts.

2nd & 3rd Grade

From The First Grade Parade, I found the above adoreable bunny idea with a word problem in the middle. My idea is to use the word problems from Arlenes and Berg, the Easter Bunny is Hopping for Addition and Subtraction Word Problem on TPT, to make these.

Kindergarten & 1st Grade

Easter Freebie

If you follow my blog or know me personally you will quickly realize I love holidays. I enjoy decorating and celebrating with simple gifts. I found this idea last year about this time and wanted to share it. It is from the website Organized Christmas (I know Christmas in April.:) It is Easter Bunny S'mores in a jar. There is a cute printable with a recipe that could be added to the top of the jar.

What a Great Gift for a Special Friend, Teacher or Just Because!

Enjoy,
