This is an oldie but a goodie in my classroom! Add a touch of whimsy to your art lessons with pop art bunny drawings! I originally discovered this idea on Pinterest from TeachStarter a gazillion years ago. I adapted the original idea to work for my students. I am happy to let you know that TeachStarter offers the templates for FREE! Hop on over to their site to grab them. This year I used AstroBrights neon cardstock for a POP of color. I just love how they turned out!
Take a multidisciplinary approach to learning with spring paper bag books that cover a range of topics, including Earth Day facts, the life cycle of a chicken, the water cycle, and different types of clouds.
