The Water Cycle: Teaching Resources and Water Cycle Poem

It's time for April showers! Our class has been learning about the water cycle and welcoming in Spring with a rainy day theme! Meet our friend, Randy Raindrop!

We painted him with watercolors and added a bit of clear glitter! 

Randy is easy to draw.

 Just add a face on your master and copy. Then, color in the cheeks with pink crayon.

I also retyped a cute poem about the adventures of Randy the raindrop for our poetry binders! 

You can grab a copy here!

Measurement Stations Freebie!

I had each student bring in a fun item from home for our measurement stations today. They loved it and were much more motivated to measure their own items than when I have selected the objects.

Here's a copy of the recording sheet that I used for the activity. Hope that it might come in handy for you!

Oh did I have a great time shopping the sales yesterday at TPT! I am ecstatic about all of my purchases knowing it was money well-spent! I know that my students will love the activities and I just simply do not have the time to make them myself! I hope you found just what you needed for your classroom there too.

I also purchased some adorable graphics and new licenses to use for my creations. I can't wait to get started with them!

I so appreciate all of my loyal followers and send out a huge THANK YOU for all of you who support my shops with your purchases and great feedback and my blog with your kind words! You're the best!

Common Core Worksheets Link and Winners!

A wonderful colleague share a link to a site to download free worksheets for Common Core and I thought I'd pass it along! The site is called Common Core Sheets. There are loads of great resources here and no membership is required. When you have some free time, you may want to check it out! 

My winners from the last post were chosen the old-fashioned way. My son helped me out on this one by picking three numbers from 1-5. Texting comes in handy. :) 

Congrats to Suzy Q, Bright Concepts 4 Teachers and Michelle J! Check your emails for the Valentine Candy Heart Toss and Addition with Four Two-Digit Numbers activities! Hope you like them!
