My Reading is in Bloom! bulletin board picture from a few years ago popped up as I was cleaning up my Google Drive files/folders tonight. It makes me want to make it all over again! Don't mind the 'R' cut off at the beginning of the word Reading. ;) Ha!

I vow to have my school Google Drive and email all cleaned up before school's out, as long as old pictures don't distract me too much. Do you have a favorite bulletin board that you've created over the years that makes you happy to look at over and over again? This was definitely one of my favorites!

I think all of this snow and chilly weather is making me anxious for spring to arrive! I have sunshine, green grass, flowers, and all kinds of wonderful thoughts of being outside! What about you? Are you ready for some Spring time weather?

I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but I wanted to take the chance to update everyone with some of the newest hundreds chart hidden picture activities I have available in my TpT store. I have a few more that I'm currently working on for upcoming themes. I hope you like the charts below!

March Comes in Like a Lion and Out Like a Lamb (Combined Set) - $2

I'm so excited that it's finally Spring!!! Shortly after I teach my mini unit on Spring, I will begin teaching a unit on life cycles of plants and animals. I created a set of activities for Reading and Science for the life cycle of frogs. Be sure to check it out in my TpT store. It is only $2! I have also included some freebies for you below!

Here's a life cycle box book freebie I created to go with this unit! I tried it out on my daughter and she did well with direct instruction. I hope you get the idea of how it goes together from the directions. :)



I also created a Do You Like Frogs? graph and response sheet as a freebie to include in my unit above.



I also found the following activities to help me teach my frog life cycles mini unit. I hope you find the following links helpful, as well!


Life Cycle of a Frog Animated Science Video
Life Cycle of a Frog color page
Life Cycle of a Frog Online Puzzle (I'm going to use this at the end of the unit for a visual review.)

Frog Nomenclature Book (Montessori)
Understanding Webbed Feet
Frog Metamorphosis Diagram This diagram is a little bit better at showing a few more changes in the stages of the life cycle.

Do you have any great ideas for teaching life cycles? My favorites are actually the butterfly and the chick. :)

 Enjoy this fun freebie! After labeling the parts of a chocolate bunny, your students will have a chance to vote for the part of the chocolate bunny they like to eat first. Then, you graph the results and have students analyze the class results.

This freebie includes a page for analyzing the graph results your students create and little bunnies for your students to decorate. It also has a printable bunny and boxes for labeling the parts of a chocolate bunny to help make things easier for you!

This totally justifies eating chocolate bunnies in class, right?

I had so much fun creating this fun Mini Math & Literacy Unit for the story There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Chick by Lucille Colandro! The pastel colors and the happy Easter items just make me even more excited about being on Spring Break! Feel free to check it out in my TpT store!

If you don't have a copy of this book and don't think you have time to get it before Easter, you can purchase the ebook through Scholastic's new Storia club for only $6.99. Storia ebooks are available for Windows and iPad and soon for Android Tablets.



Tonight, I'll be working on some Easter/Spring freebies that I cannot wait to share! :)

March Math & Literacy Stations Linky Party! 

 ***Update...Due to a seller bundling my items and offering them for sale via another web site, I am no longer offering these items for free. I'm sorry! I hope you understand.***

I had so much fun creating the upcoming holiday and celebration hundreds chart activities that I decided to make some more hundreds chart items for spring and a few for previous holidays. Click on each picture to purchase these charts from my TpT store.
