There are more ways to use this Pi craft in your math class. The digits of Pi 3.141459265358 go in a spiral around the cylinder.

Butterfly Life Cycle Craft -- Emerging Butterfly Craft

Life Cycle of a Butterfly: Teach your students the full butterfly life cycle with this creative emerging butterfly craft. 

This life cycle craft illustrates the butterfly as it emerges from the chrysalis. This butterfly craft is a great hands on way to demonstrate the butterfly life cycle that will work for science centers too. Your students will color or paint the black and white printables and use the directions to fold their emerging butterfly. 

I have also included a color version of the craft to use as a teacher's copy or to even use during a classroom lesson on butterfly life cycles. This set also includes full sized butterfly life cycle posters to help you display your butterfly craft. You can use these resources during your butterfly unit too. In addition, you will also find the heading Our Emerging Butterflies to use to create a butterfly life cycle bulletin board. Click {Here} to find it in my store.

Frog Life Cycle Craft Chicken Life Cycle Craft Butterfly Life Cycle Craft Oh My!

Spring Activities Craft -- This spring craft is a unique way to display and teach your students about the chicken life cycle, butterfly life cycle, and frog life cycle and their habitats including the countryside, the farm, and the pond. Tie in the wind for the wind sock and you have a great science activity for spring.

Students will create three life cycle wind socks (just add streamers) or a life cycle lantern during your next life cycle science lesson or habitat science lesson. There are additional labels you can add that include the terms for the life cycles. These work well for science centers too or for a science or spring bulletin board.

These are easy to make! Print out the black and white versions and your students color or paint (watercolors work well) the life cycles. The life cycles show four stages for the butterfly, chicken, and frog. The stages used are as follows.

The butterfly life cycle includes the butterfly, eggs, chrysalis, and caterpillar. The background shows the countryside.

The frog life cycle includes the frog, frogspawn, tadpole, and froglet. The background shows a pond.

The chicken life cycle includes a nesting chicken, an egg, and hatching chick, and a chick. The background shows a farm. You can find this life cycle craft {HERE}

I also have a Water Cycle Craft {HERE}.

Frog and Toad Craft --- Frog and Toad Writing Prompt Craftivity

Frog and Toad Writing Prompt Craftivities..This is a fun way to add a craft to a writing prompt about frogs and toads. There is a craftivity for a frog and a toad in this package. This is a great writing assignment to use when your students are studying the frog life cycle or learning about pond life for a writing/science connection or a science center.

You have lots of options. For the frog and the toad, there is a cover page that includes amphibian's name followed by five different writing prompts. These are prompts that you can print "as is" and the student will decorate/color/paint the frog or toad image and write on the topic.

The prompts for amphibian are as follows:

If a were a Toad (Frog)
All about Toads (Frogs)
T is for Toads/ F is for Frogs
A toad (frog) went on an adventure...
One day at the pond... (one prompt for both)

These same prompts are formatted as write and draw or just a draw prompt. Please see the preview.

Next, you will find the same topics formatted for a page topper. If you choose these prompts, add the frog and toad image and the pond cattails and lily after those prompts. You can will print these page toppers and ask your students to color or paint them.

The last three items for each amphibian are graphic organizers to help with the writing process. Each one has a clustering/web word organizer, a can/have/need chart, and a KWL (Know, Want to Know, Learned) chart. You can find this at my teaching resource store {HERE}.

Earth Day Classroom Pictures

Yeah, we're really having fun with Earth Day Classroom Activities this year. Look at our Earth Day Cupcakes all dressed up with their own clouds that the kiddos made. Then we got a chance to create our Earth Day Glyph Craftivity -- that's an Earth Day Craft and an activity-- and practice good Earth Day Practices--reduce, reuse, recycle. (Umm...I guess you can tell that we ate some left over Easter candy too.) 

Teaching in the classroom and at home is SWEET. Enjoy it.
