April Showers Bring May Flowers

We learned that it is very important to brush our teeth at least twice a day! We brush before we come to school and before we go to sleep. It is also important to floss our teeth to get all the sugar bugs out! We used mini marshmallows as teeth and yellow yarn as floss for our art project. We then wrote underneath that "We can brush and floss our teeth!"



In honor of Easter, I made a fun subtraction activity. Each student was given a paper Easter egg, 6 jelly beans, and a dye. The Easter egg starts out with 6 jelly beans. Then the student rolls the dye and takes that many jelly beans out. They then write their math equation on the mini whiteboard. The kiddos had a blast because who doesn't like working with jelly beans?! :D



I read The Very Hungry Caterpillar to my students! They loved the book and we discussed the importance of a healthy meal. I found an activity online where the students colored the different types of food the caterpillar ate and they were to put it in chronological order. 




My class loves mini books they can color and read! We had a mini sight word book about Earth Day! Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle!
