WINNERS and Earth Day FUN!!

Sorry to keep you all hanging with the announcement of the winners! Sickness has been plaguing our household and I'm hoping we are on the other side! :) Is it spring yet?!

Ok now on to the big reveal!! A big congratulations to the grand prize winner:

 and the 2 Runner Up Winners!!

I have emailed all 3 of you and am looking forward to hearing from you! Thank you to everyone who entered!!

Each of the 3 winners will be receiving my NEWEST unit that I just finished for celebrating Earth Day! I told you I was wanting Spring to come!! :) I'm willing it here by getting ready for it!

"It's Earth Day Hooray!" is fun and hands-on craftivity and mini-unit with 45 pages of resources! These Earth Day activities can be used on their own OR can supplement your current curriculum!

I don't know about you, but my students LOVE making craftivities! I find that they are so motivated to write and do a great job with their writing when they get to create a visual to go with it. This cute Earth Day character is the perfect craftivity to go with any of your Earth Day lessons. 

Isn't he look like he and Olaf could be friends? "Hi, I'm Earth Man and I love warm hugs!" :)

I have also provided 7 writing options for you to choose from, to go with it! These writing printables work perfectly with the crafivity--here are 2 different writing examples:

 

OR the 7 writing printables could be used on their own or in a writing center! Each option comes in both lined and ruled!

One of my favorite things in this packet are the 2 fun and hands on Earth Day activities! Students learn best when they participate in the learning and apply the concepts that we are teaching! Instead of just teaching about the ways to take care of the Earth, your students will enjoy putting the 3 R's to good use with one or both of these activities! 

Crayon Recycling

and a Class Book Swap

I have included instructions and handouts to send home for both of these activities to make your planning easy!

This also mini-unit also includes a 8-page Emergent Reader and 8 Earth Day Vocabulary cards with a recording sheet that can be used for Read and Write the Room (are you kids as obsessed with that as mine are?! Let's be honest-I love it too! It gets them up and moving around in productive ways!!)

Altogether this packet includes:

*Earth Character Craftivity (with blackline master and templates of each piece)

*7 Writing Options that work GREAT with the craftivity or for centers (each option comes in lined or ruled paper)

*Emergent Reader to teach students about Earth Day (8 pages long)

*8 Earth Day Vocabulary Words and Recording Sheet (perfect for using with the Emergent Reader AND/OR for Read and Write the Room)

*2 Fun and Hands-on Earth Day Activities-Handouts and instructions are included for Crayon Recycling and a Class Book Swap.
