The end of the school year is quickly approaching! That means all of the end of the year chaos is almost here. If you are looking for activities to keep your kiddos busy and engaged while you complete those end of the year tasks, check out this April Math Notebook. This math notebook gives you twenty math activities that are ready to be stapled together to form a math notebook. Students complete one math activity each day (or more) throughout the month. These math notebooks are perfect for math, morning work, homework, guided math, and more. You choose what works best in your classroom. Check out this math notebook in my TPT shop by clicking here! 

Do you need a quick literacy center idea for Easter or Spring? This digraph center using plastic Easter Eggs is simple to set up, and will keep your kiddos engaged while practicing their digraphs! 

*Simply tape the digraph letters to the outside of plastic Easter Eggs.

* Students place the digraph pictures inside of the eggs that match the digraph on the outside.

* Students fill in the independent practice printable. 

You can use this digraph center any time of year, not just around Easter. (The eggs are just easier to find then.) You could also hide the eggs with the digraph already inside, and let the kiddos find them! Grab the template here.

I also have this set in CVC Words, and Long Vowels. 

Do your students love to draw? Drawing is a fun and engaging way for students to show their comprehension skills. I created this read and draw notebook to use throughout the school year. Students keep these in their desks and pull them out when they have extra time. They make the perfect morning work activity, center time activity, or small group activity. Students read the simple sentences, and then draw a picture to match. The sentences are perfect for new readers, as they are filled with common sight words. If you would like to try these "read and draw" printables with your students, check them out here in my tpt shop. I hope your kids love them!

Do you teach life cycles in your kindergarten classroom? Young students love to learn anything about science, and that includes life cycles. I usually teach the life cycle of a chicken, life cycle of a frog, life cycle of a butterfly, and the life cycle of plants. Here are a few activities that we complete during our chicken life cycle unit. This set includes information about chickens and their life cycles. These activities are all included in a printable set in my TPT shop. Check them out here!
