I have these books for every month. I love them. Such great activities for theme units and most can be modified for those with special needs. Lends itself well to multiple grade levels. This particular book says for grades 1-3, but I use it with my preschooler and my 5th graders who are special needs in addition to my 1st grader. I decided that since I love these so much, that you must have one too!

The activities I do with my kiddos are so many. If a day is warm, then we head to the park and have a contest: Who finds and counts more things green in the park and as far as you can see! it's become a tradition to do this silly thing.
ReplyDeleteGoogle follower! My favorite thing about Spring is the blooming flowers.

Great family activity Geo Caching a GA state park! It gets everyone out in the great weather, gets everyone exercise and the kids get to learn about following directions to find a hidden treasure.
