Earth Day!

I have some FABULOUS freebies for Earth Day!
The first freebie we used was from Zanah's Earth Day Literacy Activities pack!

I had my kiddos brainstorm with me ideas on how we can protect the Earth.  I let them choose to copy from our ideas or write their own ideas.  Surprisingly, I only had 3 kiddos copy the board!

After they finished their maps, they used it to write about how they would protect the Earth.
The second freebie was from Happy Teacher, Happy Kids' Earth Day Math Codes!  My kiddos went CRAZY for them!  We pretended to be "Earth Day Detectives" and we had to crack the codes about Earth Day.  We were super secretive (and quiet) so we could crack the codes and when someone came in we made sure they wouldn't see our codes.  It was amazing and I can already tell my kiddos want more!  The best thing was that there were like 6 different codes at different levels, so every kiddo had a couple codes to crack with addition problems at their current math level!

What fun activities did you do today!?

Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day!  We just came off of a 3 day weekend due to a snow day on Friday and you would of thought it was the first day of kindergarten today!  Whoa!  On top of everything the snow is COMING down...again...where is spring!?
Today we did a fun Earth Day project!  I did it last year after I found a pin from it, but when I went back to Pinterest to find it and when I searched it a TON of the same project came up, so sorry I don't have the original pin for you!
We started by writing what our Earth Day promise would be.  We first brainstormed ideas and then went and wrote what we wanted ours to be.

We did our second part in the afternoon!  We got a surprise visit from our Education Instructual Coach...aka he comes in and does our "formal observations" and guess when he popped in to do an informal observation...in the middle of this crazy, kind of messy project!  My kids love him so he chatted with them while I was busy painting hands and making sure we didn't get too crazy:)

There they are again...TRACERS!  My kiddos will be in first grade in less than two months, I can't possibly be cutting their stuff for them!  :)

I helped them paint their hands and copied them onto their "Earth's"! 

The finished product!  I plan on hanging them up for the week then sending them home! :)

We also did this fun worksheet from Time 4 Kindergarten!

After the SECOND snow storm in less than a week, in APRIL, I would so need a "SURVIVAL KIT"!  How about you!?
