Spring has sprung...

I'm typing this post today from the back of a car as I road trip through the state of Minnesota in the USA! 

It's school holidays now and right before school ended my little class made some 'Spring' craft.

I used a word document and inserted the 'cloud shape'. I then used wordart to write Spring inside the cloud.



I then cut up several strips of coloured  paper for the 'rainbow'. 

The children then wrote words used to describe Spring on the strips of paper.

They cut the cloud out, added the paper strips and coloured in the word Spring. 

I think it was very successful!


Also, prior to the school holidays I took my little class on our annual Zoo excursion. 

The children had a wonderful time and so did I!

I even managed to get chosen out of the audience to star in the seal show!

The children were very excited to see 'Mrs Steffenson' in the show...

On the Zoo excursion, I had 3 parent helpers assist me with looking after the children in my class.

As a way to say 'thank you' for their assistance I gave them a photo of our class at the zoo and also this little thank you note and gift:


Signing off now, it's time to get out of the car and stretch the legs :)

Fathers Day In KS

It's that time of the year again where we celebrate 'Dad'.

Today the children in KS were busy creating Father's Day gifts for their dads.

kept it very simple this year and the children were very proud of their work.

I am sure the dads of KS will be happy with their gifts on Father's Day. 

I managed to find a great Acrostic Poem template online at Teachers Pay Teachers. The best thing about it was that it was FREE....teachers love FREE stuff! 

Here is the link:


Here's how they turned out: 



One of my gorgeous colleagues Mrs Robinson came up with the template for a Fathers Day tie... 

The children cut out the tie template and decorated it with stickers and created their own patterns with coloured pencils.

They cut two ties out and I stapled them
back to back with the children's choice of ribbon. (I had saved up a variety of ribbon of all shapes and sizes prior to
this activity).

I think they turned out 'tie-riffic' and I am sure the KS dads will wear them with pride on Father's  Day!
