Spring Fever.

Is every kid in America getting spring summer fever like my class?!? With only 19 more days left the kiddos are getting a little stir crazy. But who can blame them right?

One of my favorite things to teach is parts of the plant and the plant life cycle. I started the unit this year with a little foldable. They drew a flower on the outside, then cut to separate each part. Underneath each flap, then recorded each part and what each part did to help the plant grow.















We also did a little craftivity that I used as a little assessment. They created their own flower using construction paper and then labeled each part including the things a plant needs to grow. Love how they turned out!




Towards the end of the week each of them got to plant there own little cup of grass. I let them draw a face on their cup before we planted our seeds. Right now they are just beginning to grow. After they get a little taller, we will give them a "hair cut"! The kids are soooo excited about the hair cut.







Hope you have a fabulous week, sweet friends!

"Spring"ing Into SUMMER!!!

Nothing reminds me of spring more than flowers! When I see flowers blooming, I know summer vacation is on the way!!
This week we have been learning the parts of the flower and how each part plays a role to help the flower grow. 


My kiddos had so much fun with this.  They painted flowers with tempera paint and cotton balls and then labeled each part with the matching description of each.
So fun and so "springy"!



They did such a great job! One thing that never gets old or boring is painting.  All kids love it! So creative!
