                                                           Happy Easter Everyone !
We hope you are enjoying this beautiful spring weather..well hopefully where YOU live you are having some beautiful weather!   We have been very busy lately and have neglected blogging.. but we are getting back into the swing of things this SPRING and focusing on staying in touch and sharing some new ideas with you. 

Before we left for our SPRING break - I read a book to my class from one of my favorite authors - Patricia Polacco.  If you don't use Patricia's books in your class yet, I highly recommend that you start !!  Her stories are really GREAT and I teach my student's so many life lessons using her books.   One fun story I read every year at Easter time is
Rechenka's Eggs... It is a cute story that shares some Easter traditions and a life lesson along the way ~ I was amazed that most of my 2nd graders actually got the moral from this story.  They also had fun making connections and drawing their mental images!   We even had an Easter Egg coloring contest which they loved!!  My students favorite part of this book was being able to color EASTER eggs. 

To share some SPRINGTIME love - I just posted this EASTER product for you! Some of the pages included are shown below.. WE hope you love reading Rechenka's Eggs to your kiddos!  Happy Easter everyone!
