Ocean Animals

            The end of the year or summer is the perfect time to learn about ocean animals, since kids already have their minds on being outdoors and water play. These fun ocean creatures are a lot of fun to make and will get your students minds thinking about what lives in the ocean.


           I love this ocean themed bulletin board, you can change up the animals that are caught in the net. This board really pops out at you! Adding each animal as you introduce them to your students makes this a changing and developing board.


              

         These math worksheets are the perfect addition to your unit. Made with kindergarten standards in mind, students will love adding, subtracting, count and color, word problems, positions, classifying, and comparing in these worksheets.

Happy Birthday America 250 Readers, Hats Craft & Writing Prompts Activities


   I still remember the year 1976 and the excitement that surrounded that very important birthday of our country. The parades and fireworks to celebrate that wonderful time. The projects we made in art class that centered around learning about the founding of our country. The jug of bicentennial quarters I saved as a child. 

Now as we approach the 250th birthday, I have been thinking about different ways to mark this occasion with students.

 I thought a birthday party theme was perfect and created a few resources to go along with the celebration. What's a party without a party hat. 




Students will love creating their very own party hats. These crowns come in both color and black & white with flags on the bands. Let students add a little glitter to the fireworks to really make 
them sparkle.



            ____________________________

     As you plan your party let students do some creative writing. These writing prompts will get them started and give them a chance to do some drawing.
