EARTH DAY!!!

My Pinterest inspired anchor chart. 

I know I am a week late, but we really enjoyed Earth Day in my class this year. We did not do as many crafts this year (like I usual do) due to my lack of supplies. I have gone through so much construction paper this year, it is ridiculous. Guess you know what I will be spending my money on for next year. Although we did not do many crafts, we still had a blast. Here is a list of some of the things we did:

ABC Order Sort

Syllable Sort

Making Words from EARTH DAY

Sort actions that would make the Earth happy and sad

Missing Addend Equations

Measuring Earth Day pictures with butterflies and bees 

Planting out in the school garden

Earth Day Cupcakes (YUM!) 

You can view my Earth Day literacy centers in my TpT store. You can also find wonderful ideas here.

We have also started our ABC countdown. Every year I do this fun and exciting activity with my students. We countdown the last 26 days of school by using the letters in the alphabet and having an activity that revolves around that letter. So far we have done...

A = Art Day

B = Bubbles Day

C = Caring/Compliment Day (Read How Full is Your Bucket and write each other compliments)

D = Delicious Snack Day (Teacher brings a snack)

E = Environment Day 

F = Favorite Fruit Day 

G = Graphing/Green Day

H = Hat Day

I = Ice cream day

J = Jump Rope Day

I have not done a wonderful job of taking pictures of all these activities this year. I am hoping to get better with time. Still getting used to this whole blogging thing. :)

What do you do at the end of the year that is special or traditional for you?
