Easter 2012 Room 7 Style!

I can't believe I haven't posted since Tuesday. I've been checking out your blogs, but this was a busy week! My mom came to school with me Friday to do some fun Easter activities with my class before Spring Break (I have this week off. Woohoo!). One thing we did was The Great Egg Roll. Have you checked out Projects By Jen? I love her online projects and this was a fun one. I think there's still time to get in on the fun! Thursday night my mom and I measured out 30 feet of butcher paper and marked it off in inches so we could measure how far the kids could roll their eggs. One of my students rolled his about 500 inches! Luckily we'd added some blank butcher paper Friday morning and brought the tape measure. Wish I could post pictures, but I'm not supposed to put pics of my kiddos (sad face).
We also stuffed plastic Easter eggs with the word strip I got from Mr. Jones (new awesome teacher/blogger!) at First Upon a Time.  Friday my class had a blast playing that game! On Friday we also painted bunnies with my class. Sadly I forgot to take pictures of the ones my students made and I let them take them home- Boo Hoo! They were cute too! But the picture above is my sample. I got the idea from Deep Space Sparkle. It's a great source of art ideas from an elementary art teacher. Last year my class did the space shuttle project and it was wonderful too. I recommend checking out here website if you're looking for art ideas!

Today I discovered Farley's new "currently" party. I love finding out what everyone else is up too. Can't wait to see what your superpower is!

I just love the bunny. Just can't help posting a picture of my little bunny. His name is Frankie and he's got a superpower- it's living. Rabbits generally live 6-8 years (at least those who live outside), and he's going to be 12 years old this month. We've had him since he was about 4 months old. He's litterbox trained and lives in our living room.

Until we meet again,
