Easter bunnies are ready for you!!! Freebie and a Unit!

Hello everyone!!!
Can you believe we are already posting about bunnies and Easter eggs?!

OMG Where has time gone?! Last year as I was posting this, I was about to have a baby boy, plus having an almost two year old daughter... Now I am about to have a THREE-YEAR-OLD daughter and a ONE-YEAR-OLD son! :'( Let me cry a little bit!!!!

Anyhow! Enough of that! right?!

I would like to share with you once again my freebie! On this activity, two students can work together or independently. Each get a bunny with a wheeler; they spin it and mark on their laminated graph with a dry-erase marker. They stop spinning once any of the items have reached the top. MAKE SURE THEY DON'T ERASE THEIR RESULTS, THEY'LL BE USING IT ON THEIR BOOKLET.
Next, students record their result on the paper graph. Once they finished recording it on the graph sheet (they need to color the eggs as well), they can start writing their conclusions on the question section. Once they are finished with all the work, they can work on their booklet by coloring the front cover.

Would you like a copy? Of course!!! Just click HERE to take you to my TPT :)

I also wanted to share with ya'll my Chick Craftivity freebie. I created this little friend a while back when I taught second grade. We read books and different facts about chickens. Then, my students took notes and wrote about different things they have learned about the life cycle of a chicken. As I said, this was created for second grade; However, this would be perfect for any project you do in your classroom! If you would like to read more about it click HERE to take you to my post :)
Here are some pictures of how my students' work came up. If you would like to download it, click on Chick Craftivity to take you to my TPT store.


Lastly, I wanted to share with ya'll my Easter unit! It's mainly for second grade, but there are some activities that can be use for 1st graders and 3rd graders :)
This unit contains 7 centers (ELA/SLA and Math):
For ELA/SLA
Fact and opinion, A sequence activity for the book "There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Chick", Regular Vs. Irregular Past verbs
ABC order activitty.
For Math
Fractions

Texas/Wild West unit Y'all! :)

My friends this is just a quick post to remind you about my unit called "Welcome to Texas and the Wild West Y'all!"!
I live in Texas, so one of our Social Studies TEKS are to teach about the symbols and our State. So I wanted to have a small Social Studies unit. However, I also know that not all grade levels go in depth for some of these activities and that the Rodeo is a BIG DEAL here in Texas. Soooo I decided to combine Social Studies, ELA/SLAR, and Math in a whole unit! :) That means, if you are not from Texas, but you would love to have a fun and interactive theme unit about the Wild West, this unit is also for you!!! As usual, the unit comes in English and Spanish.
Here is a preview of what the English and Spanish versions look like! Just remember that both version are exactly the same! The only difference is the language used :)

Click on ENGL or SPAN to read more details on the product

To give you a little peek of the unit, I created a FREE SAMPLE. On this Sample I included BOTH the English and Spanish versions :) On this sample, I included a mini booklet to use after a Rodeo field trip and a colored puzzle for the Texas Pledge. Both Social Studies and Wild West theme included!
Here is a preview of what this freebie looks like!

Well my friends, that's all I got for you! I hope my post has been useful to you and that you can try any or all of these activities with your class!
Have an awesome weekend! I'm planning on posting something for Valentine's in a few days! So stay tuned!!! :D

Geometry Foldables & Symmetry activity ideas PLUS A NEW UNIT WITH A FREE SAMPLE YOU WOULDN'T LIKE TO MISS!

Hello everyone and welcome back!
I am sure at this point everyone is counting down the days for our Spring Break and looking forward to a nice, resting, and short week! We all know that as soon as you blink, that week is over! Nevertheless, it is nice to have it off, we all need it! :)

Today, I am about to show you a bunch of pictures of different anchor charts and foldables I had made in my classroom to help my kiddos remember those geometric vocabulary words! whewwwww!!! I'm telling y'all there are so many that I really wanted kids to be able to see these not only in their journal, so I'm planning on laminating these and post them on the wall for the rest of the school year :)



We also did about three foldables to identify: lines and angles (sorry I don't have pictures), quadrilaterals, and 3-D shapes.


A week after those 2D and 3D shape vocabulary, we were talking about Congruent figures.
The following foldable is what we did when looking into congruent figures.

  

Then, we started talking about symmetry and that's when all the fun started! I showed my students a quick video online about lines of symmetry first. After the video, we wrote a really quick the concept of symmetry and did two simple illustrations to represent it.


After that quick journal post, we did a hands on activity. We used white cardstock, we folded it in half and write our name on the crease side. Then we trace a line around the letters to give it a shape and cut it around making sure we followed the line we had traced.
When we opened the cardstock we had to think about what figure we can create, making sure it represents a vertical line of symmetry.

I was so happy with my students' work, they all came up with GREAT ideas! Here are some pictures I was able to take :)


 

 

 



Last, but definitely not least! I wanted to show you my new unit!! The title is "Welcome to Texas and the Wild West Y'all!" for a very specific reason!
