Easter Is On The Way!

We have taken down the shamrocks and put up the Easter goodies!

Bunnies and eggs are popping up everywhere!

Some hands-on learning activities that I like to do during this time are: 

Easter Bunny Geometric Shape Rabbit

 It is used to introduce or review the four shapes, circle, square, triangle, rectangle,
 plus practice fine motor skills, cutting, gluing, and body awareness.

It has a variety of different activites and colors and creating the whole body or just the head!

For the little learners, it is best to just start with the head activity!

Here is a Preview of this product.

 I have two great interactive songs!

  Easter Song And Posters E-G-G-I-E Was His Name-O

 

Easter/Spring Song And Posters B-U-N-N-Y Was His Name-O

 What fun activities for the spring or Easter season. Sing to the tune "Bingo."
 It is a great way for tiny humans to learn some letters of the alphabet!

There is a song poster, an action poster and letter posters that spell the word, included is a cover sheet and directions. Each poster is 8 1/2 by 11 inches.

Introduce the song using the song poster. Pass the letter cards out and have the students participate with the singing. To make the activity harder sing the song with subtracting a letter for each verse and do a motion or sound instead. Laminate and use year after year!

 

This activity can be used even by a single child by having them point at the posters and do the motions.

 



St Patrick's Day Warm Fuzzy Freebie!

This time of year is it so nice to tell people how lucky we are to have them in our lives, especially to our very own little people!

So I've included this bookmark freebie page to show you how LUCKY I am,

 to have each and everyone of you in my life!

I love to give warm fuzzies of all kinds!

They create warm fuzzy feelings in the people that get them, but I also get those same warm fuzzy feelings back, tenfold, just by watching their joy in receiving them!

So pass on some lucky warm fuzzies and watch someone smile!

I have a more detailed set of these bookmarks in this activity!

St. Patrick's Day Bookmarks & Badges for Teachers, Students, Staff and Parents

Another fun activity with a Leprechaun is called

St. Patrick's Day Song And Posters L-U-C-K-Y Was His Name-O

 There is a song poster, the word Jig poster and the letter posters that spell LUCKY. Included is a cover sheet and directions. Each poster is 8 1/2 by 11 inches.

Introduce the song using the song poster. Pass the letter cards out and have the students participate with the singing. Sing to the tune "Bingo."

To make the activity harder, sing the song with flipping a letter to Jig for each verse and do a motion or sound instead. For example, sing L U C K Y for the first verse. Then turn the letter L over for the second verse and have the children dance and sing Jig for the letter L. They would Jig, then sing U C K Y. The third verse would be Jig, Jig, and sing C K Y. Do this until all the letters are turned over and the last verse is Jig, Jig, Jig, Jig, Jig.

  It is a great way to learn some letters of the alphabet and practice memory skills!

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
