Basketball Madness Mix in a cup is the perfect snack to make with your students during the month of March for the basketball playoff games.

🏀Comment basketball and I will send you the links 🏀

“I used this with a homeschool group that my daughter and I are apart of and ALL of the kids enjoyed it, not just the little ones. We loved it so much I’ve thought about purchasing the yearly snack activity bundle!”

Basketball Theme Day
Enjoy this fun theme day in March to practice all the essential skills and have fun with some Basketball Activities too.

“I added a basketball-themed day during March Madness this year and my kiddos LOVED it! This bundle was perfect for all things basketball-related and I could find everything I needed to cover all concepts throughout our day.”

Basketball Book Bracket
This basketball book tournament bracket is the perfect way to bring literature into the month of March. Choose 16 books to compete in this challenge.

“Love this resource! My kids had a blast reading and rating books each day! The rating system was perfect and allowed for a better idea of what book was more preferred! What a fun way to incorporate read alouds in class! Plus, it looked great on the bulletin board!”

I am so excited to share this St. Patrick’s Day

I am so excited to share this St. Patrick’s Day CHALLENGE with you and your students! You will begin this activity with a short video that will challenge your students to solve the case of the missing pot of gold. They will have to find out who took them, when they took them, and where they put them. To solve the case, students will work to complete 9 different task cards. The task cards are based on first grade standards in both math and language arts. Once they complete a task card, they will receive a clue. After they have all 9 clues, they will be able to solve the mystery. As a fun culmination, there are awards and headbands. There is a fun little story ending to explain what happened. This goodie comes with a bonus writing extension. They can write about what they love more than gold or hot to catch a leprechaun. This is similar to the who dunnit activities. #whodunnit #solvethemystery #stpatricksday

Potato is soooo excited because it Lance Vance’s

Potato is soooo excited because it Lance Vance’s Fancy Pants store is selling potato pants for one day only. He makes sure to get there early only to find Eggplant in the store. Eggplant had pushed him the day before and he was afraid to go get his new fancy pants. This hysterical yet heartwarming story will lend a wonderful discussion on misunderstandings and apologizing.

This mini unit is a great way to compare and contrast George Washington and Abraham Lincoln during President’s Day week. Inside you will receive a book that students can read to learn about both and find their similarities and differences. After reading the story, you can work on nonfiction reading comprehension, work work activities, and writing. As a fun cumulative activity, you can put your students in groups to create posters using the blank cards. My students love doing this activity every year and sharing their finished posters.
