The Month of May

We made gardener friends and discussed how things grow.

We planted seeds and have been watering and observing them everyday. Unfortunately, we don’t have any windows in our room for sunlight.

Baseball Boys

Although, it would have been more ideal to have made these when spring training started like my students did last year, its still baseball season so we figure they would be fun. The boys had fun making the craft and completing the maps.

We used a combination of these two lessons from Leanne Prince!

Bumble Bees

We made these bees to go along with our weekly lesson about Bumble Bees. The boys liked using the bubble wrap to make the prints.

Flower Experiment

This week our newspaper topic was Arlington Cemetery. The experiment was about flowers and where water goes in a plant? We put the flowers into colored water and observed them during the week.

We made this fun craft for mother’s day!!

Organizing- Teacher Appreciation

If any of you follow my classroom structure and set up, you know that I am obsessed with being organized.  So I took on the lovely project of organizing everything on my monthly pinterest boards and putting them into binders so I would be able to have the worksheets, crafts, and experiments available at a moments notice. In doing this I made some binder covers and inserts.

You can find the binder covers here:
