1. Writing Prompts in eggs. I created just a few fun writing prompts and printed them on Avery 5160 labels so that my firsties could stick them into their journals. You can grab a copy of my writing prompts here.
3. Antonyms activity- My students also gave me a list of antonyms. Students match up the top and bottom words to make a pair of antonyms.
4. Scrambled words- I put several Scrabble tiles into eggs for students to use to make words.
5. Fact Family Center- I used bottle caps so my students would have some kind of manipulative. I Mod-Podged numbers onto four bottle caps. Three of the bottle caps make a fact family. Students have to figure out which three numbers make the fact family and then record the number sentences as well.

I bought way too many eggs too. I need to get around to doing something with them! Thanks for the ideas.

I love all of these ideas! I feel a little left out since I will not be teaching most of April. I do think I will buy some eggs just because they look so "springy." I'm sure the kids won't mind using them. :)
ReplyDeleteI am pinning this post for TBA and I am pinning it to my board as well!
ReplyDeleteI really like your ideas! I moved down the hall this year from 1st grade to Kindergarten, and the previous teacher left a LOT of plastic eggs! Now I can finally use them! Thanks!

Wow! Thanks so much. I'll be using these later this week.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for my Spanish 1 class! We have 3 lists of new verbs to practice, and what a fun way to do it!
ReplyDeleteI really like your blog. Each day, I come to see if there is something new. I have a blog too but in French. A funny fact : on the same date (March 23rd, 2012), we talk about the same activity and we took the same chicks. Thank you for sharing your ideas! http://lescreationsdestephanief.blogspot.ca/2012/03/ateliers-de-paques.html
ReplyDeleteCould you please tell me what you use to write on the eggs with? When I used a Sharpie...it just rubbed off.
ReplyDeleteThanks
I used permanent marker and didn't have any problems. I had a couple of letters that I had to re-trace though. Not sure, but would paint pens work?
DeleteThanks so much for sharing the recording sheets!
