Easter Carrots

By
Carrot Feet!
Here’s to Easter!
Got this idea off Pinterest, one of my favorite places to browse. The idea worked and students were tickled. Literally. I painted their feet and they laughed through the whole process. A lot of paper towels involved in the cleaning up but so very worth it. They then cut different shades of green creative paper to glue to taste. 😊 They were able to practice saying feet, foot and of course Happy Easter!

Eggs, Easter, and Mr. Rabbit's Portrait

By
 It's chocolate time again! In Brazil, Easter means chocolate Easter eggs. Easter also brings to mind bunnies. Since we're still basically at home waiting to get vaccinated here, an Easter craft has to be made with something kids have at home, so egg cartons it is. Saw this with a range of different animals on Pinterest and thought I'd use it for a bunny Easter craft, so here's Mr. Rabbit's portrait. One of the good things about an egg carton is that it has some curves to it, which you can use for the rabbit's ears. I cut up a cereal box to use as the base, which is another thing kids will most likely have at home, of course, it can be any cardboard. I used markers to decorate the frame-like base. Let kids get creative here. I used hot glue just because I wanted everything to dry faster. I then painted the bunny white, waited for it to dry, and added the details with a black pen. The pink on the ears is also paint. I used a little bit of red and when it mixed wi

Where is the monster?

By
I used the standing 3-D triangle again with my first-graders. We were studying parts of the house and the preposition IN. They first made all the rooms in a house, one room per class, so it took us 4 classes to finish the complete house and glue everything togther with a paper bag handle glued in the middle so they could take it home more easily. They also had to write the names of the rooms. Last. I used plastic bottle tops for the students to make their little monsters. After they dried, I would say the monster is in the living room, for example, and the students tried to be the first to place the monster in the correct room. Then, I let the students say where the monster was for their classmates to place the monster in the correct room. They also got to place their monsters wherever they wanted and I asked them, where their monster was and they would say it's in the bedroom, for example. The class was really excited about this project and couldn't wait to take their houses h

I Believe I Can Fly!

By
My first-graders have been talking about what they can and can't do. I had them decorate these paper wings I cut out.  I added a paper loop on the back of each wing so they could fit their hands in. In one class they glued sequins and fingerpainted the wings with different colors. The following class, they "flew" around the classroom as they repeated I can fly. They couldn't wait to take the wings home to fly around the house. 😀
