I have finished my April morning work and have it posted.
I also wanted to share some things we will be squeezing in this week. It was only a 4 day week to begin with, but we had a snow day today, so now I only have 3 days before Spring Break.
I will be sending home a plastic egg and this letter with each student. {Just click on the picture to download the paper.}
Students will be filling their egg with any item. Then they will write three clues about what is in their egg. Since we were home today, I did this little activity with my own kids.
Here they are showing off their eggs.
I sent one upstairs and one downstairs to put something in their egg. Then they had to write their clues.
Our oldest is in Kindergarten, so she was all over this task. Her clues were, “It is green. It is shaped like a ball. It is not an egg.” It ended up being a crumbled up green Post-It note.
Her second turn said, “It is white. You can blow into it. I use it at night with my spray.” This one was a tissue. {She uses saline spray at night and she likes to wipe her nose afterwards.} I loved reading her clues!
Our youngest just turned 3, but she wanted to write her clues as well. These were, of course, scribbles on her paper, but that’s ok. When it was her turn to read her clues, she said, “It is a princess.” Needless to say, she had put a little princess doll in hers 🙂
It’s a very easy activity to do with your students and I promise that they’ll love sharing their item.
We will also be doing my Easter themed fluency passages this week. These are additional fluency passages that are not included in any of my other fluency packets. I did just update the font, so if you already have this and you want it a little updated, head on over and redownload it.
I hope you enjoy your week!!
