Spring is finally here after a week of snow! We’re trying to brighten the room a bit by hanging these cute rainbow clouds from strings.
So simple that not much explanation is needed! The kids cut out their names, and then added one word about themselves on each rainbow color.
We tried a cool art technique using these St. Patrick’s Day stained glass coloring sheets.
Color them with markers and then take a drop of any cooking oil and rub over top of the paper. It makes the markers translucent, which look great!

We are getting ready for BusyTown again at our school. This is a fantastic way to teach about communities because each student runs their own little store or office as parents visit. Our kindergarten teachers spend a lot of time preparing for this day, and it’s always a huge hit! I have a ton of pictures of it HERE!
If you’d like to see more step-by-step photo tutorials, you can choose from these huge collections of art lessons for elementary classrooms. Each has lots of photos, a teacher script to read aloud to students, and literacy components to deepen thinking and expression through writing. CLICK HERE to take a peek!
If you’re having trouble finding what you need for math, literacy or clip art, you can grab this handy Clickable Catalogue for everything available in my TPT store – a big time saver! Tuck it away for when you need it!

Thank you so much for the cute Leprechaun! My students will dance a jig when I let them color this instead of doing their morning work on St. Patty's Day!
