My students are holding the chain we used to measure the circumference of our garden bed. We counted each chain and there was 228 chains and it took 20 of my students to hold it. We then used the same chain to measure our classroom. From wall to wall the chain was the same as the circumference of our garden bed.
Today my students made hand print Easter chicks. I got the idea from a site that I googled under the subject hand print crafts.
Each year I have my students do this activity. It is a cute way to learn the parts of the flower. They get to learn the names while learning to write the words. I use real sunflower seeds for the inside of the flower, a cupcake foil for the petals, a straw for the stem (I only had red ones lol), yarn for the roots and then they cut out their own leaves from green construction paper.
This is a new thing I did with the children. They wrote words that had to do with spring onto raindrops and then glued them to an umbrella. It turned out really cute.
