Thank you today for being Friday!! Man, this week was exhausting! I think the week after a break is always the hardest!
Got a basket full of candy for Easter. I never really crave candy/sweets, but if I have it...I am going to eat it! So yep...that means I had Easter candy for dinner 3 nights this week! Oops!
I was able to spend Easter with my family! Look at how perfect my niece is! She is just too cute! Love!
I know I told ya'll that I was spending my spring break out in Vail, CO. Well, I had the best time EVER! It was truly amazing! I ended up taking 5 days of ski school and then the last day I was able to ski with friends. I started the trip off learning how to put on skis for the first time and being SO nervous to fall when I got off the chair lift, to skiing on some blacks the last day! Ah, I just loved it! Do you like my snowman I made? haha
Now to the pictures that I actually took today! We started our weather unit this week. I thought this was the pefect activity to tie a little bit of poetry for Poetry Month into our weather unit. I found this adorable freebie from Lori over at Teaching With Love and Laughter HERE. This center was super relaxing today. My students were able to make the 'tear art' rainbows by themselves, no questions asked. They even filled in the poems by themselves! They came out adorable and definitely brightened up the hallway when I hung them up!

Sunny Sounds! I continue to put beginning and ending sound practice at my students centers. They all know their beginning and ending sounds, but I think it is a great review and also great for independent practice! It is really important that my children are able to work independently so I can really focus on my reading groups!

They also wrote the first page in their 'All About Weather' books. I thought this little one did an awesome job!

I love Vail. I think Ski School is the BEST :) We go to Beaver Creek (right up the road) and I just think it is the prettiest place I have ever been (that is not an ocean) :)

I did the rainbow rhyme this week, too, and I actually toyed with doing tear-art rainbows, but decided against it because of something else going on that day. Yours make me wish I had done it!I just mounted them on the same color of paper as the color they wrote about. Next year for sure I'm going the tear art!

e it!
Caitlin, your kids are really writing! I have to keep telling my students "Write more than one sentence." I just put up some spring freebies on my blog, including a writing prompt with a word bank for spring. If you have a second, please stop by! :)
