This pretty egg for a bulletin display was created by brushing corn syrup and food coloring on cardstock paper. The students created their own poems and typed them in computer lab!
Are you coloring eggs this year?

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!
Valentine's Day Freebies
I am just about set for Valentine's Day classroom fun on Friday! This year I'm sticking with my favorite crafts, games and party activities, but with a few new additions!
I recently posted a freebie at my TPT shop to share with you!
It wouldn't be a holiday without a cute poem in our room!
I retyped Hug O' War by Shel Silverstein for our poetry binders.
You can download a copy if you like from my Dropbox!
Lots of other fun learning activities are prepped and ready to go too!
Take a trip down memory lane with me to see last year's festivities here.
I also found these adorable homework coupons from A Teachable Teacher at Teachers Notebook!
What a find and just in time!
I'm getting them printed and ready to attach them to my treat for the kids!
Won't they just think a night of their choosing without homework will be oh so SWEET?
Hope you can use some of these freebies in the coming days!
Rest up for a Friday full moon party.
It could be a wild ride!
Cooking Corn Soup and Grape Salad!
Today we imagined we were pilgrim children, cooking soup over the fire!It was our corn soup feast complete with butter we "churned" and enjoyed on cornbread muffins.
My recipe for corn soup does not come with any exact measurements, I just make it to taste. The children help add the goodies to the crock pot, take turns stirring and feel like little chefs. We imagine we are pilgrim people, discussing as we cook the fact that pilgrim children had many chores that included cooking and churning butter and talk about what they may have really eaten on a daily basis. Every child contributed something for our mini-feast.
Here's what I use in the corn soup:
chicken broth
canned corn
long grain wild rice
fresh spinach leaves
browned sirloin
onion
salt and pepper
It's so easy and smells so good!
To churn butter you need a few large baby food jars. Pour heavy whipping cream in and add some salt. Place it in a baggie (in case it does leak) and pass it around. The kids take turns shaking the jar until it solidifies. I check on it occasionally. Each jar usually makes its way around the room once before it is ready.
We are going to spread our butter on the corn bread muffins!
Surprisingly, the kids devour the soup and usually are begging for seconds~ spinach and all! That's a butter mustache!
While my little pilgrim children feasted, partners performed the Thanksgiving Poems they had been working on. The students were excited to use the microphone!
I just finished a new poetry unit I plan to start when December rolls around. Once again, I am going to make the most of the children's excitement for the holiday and work in some great fluency practice with our poetry binders. Click on the first picture to see it at my shop!
Wishing all of you lots of fun with family and friends this Thanksgiving and a restful break from school!
Here's a yummy recipe that you can quickly throw together! It's great as a side or additional dessert for those that don't care for pumpkin pie. It's my mom's famous grape salad! It's a big hit at any party!
3 pounds of assorted grapes (you could use any fruit combo)
8 oz. cream cheese softened
1 container of sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (it's yummy without nuts too)
1 cup brown sugar
blend cream cheese, sour cream and 1/2 cup of sugar
fold in grapes
spread in 9x13 dish
combine walnuts and brown sugar
sprinkle over grape mixture
serve or refrigerate
Enjoy!
