Grab the Egg FREEBIE

If your kids are still talking about hunting eggs then I've got another freebie for you!
I mean, who gets tired of egg hunts anyways!?
So if you still have a bucket of eggs laying around, grab them and fill them!

First find this FREE activity in my TpT store!


Second, fill the eggs with the double digit addition and subtraction problems. 
Next, hide the eggs and unleash the hunters.


Last, have them open the egg, solve the problem and record it on the included recording sheet.


You can used this as practice or a pre/post assessment.

In case you missed my last post, it had A N O T H E R free egg hunt activity.
Find it HERE!

Got Eggs? Turn them into a Game with this FREEBIE!

Do you have a few extra eggs floating around your room now that Easter is over?
Great! That's all you need to throw together this quick and easy grammar review game.
I'm sure your kids have perfected their egg hunt strategies and will love this activity.



First you will need to download this FREEBIE <------click here

Then you will need to find 3 buckets/baskets/cups (whatever you have) and label them: noun/verb/adjective

Cut out each word and stuff it inside an egg.
Hide the eggs around your room.
Students will have to find one egg, open it and read the word inside.

Gather together as a class once everyone has found an egg and read their word.
Students will take turn reading their word and placing it into the correct "Easter basket".
If their word is a noun...it goes in the noun basket.
If their word is a verb....it goes in the verb basket.
If their word is an adjective...it goes in the adjective basket. 

We are going to use this as a review before we take an assessment for report cards.
I have also attached the assessment if you would like to use it as well.

Hope you have some hippity-hoppity fun!

Flashback Friday: Look at That Cute Bunny!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY:
We are hopping into a lot of fun learning next week!

The cute story, Bunny Trouble, lends itself greatly to the discussion of plot, specifically problem and solution. 

We got a little creative with our response to reading, because who doesn't love to decorate eggs!?
Especially when it was such an important part to the story.


What you need:
1 sheet of manila
1 sheet of white paper

How to make:
Fold manila into fourths and trace one egg.
With paper still folded, cut on traced line, making 4 eggs.
Fold the white paper like a book.
Add title to the cover.
Write problem and solution on 2 manila eggs and glue inside the white paper.


Students will summarize the problem and solution from the story under the correct egg heading.

Just like the bunnies decorated eggs in the book, students will get to decorate the 2 remaining eggs and glue them to the cover.


Monitor comprehension and allow creativity at the same time!

A Little Bunny Trouble
