Has Spring Really Sprung?



Earlier this week, I packed the winter clothes away and changed the linens from flannel to cotton. Then, a snowstorm took ahold of Saskatchewan. Icy roads, closed highways, and the reappearance of heavy sweaters. 

But, the sun is shining today and it looks like a second spring may be coming! While I was sequestered inside my cozy home, I worked on April events - weather series, National Poetry Month, and spring. Let's take a look!




April is National Poetry Month! Dive into poetry with these resources! 

The print and digital Poetry resource introduces students to poetry through lesson slides, memorable poems, discussion questions, opportunities to play with words and literary devices, and comprehension questions. Even better, each lesson slide set has activities! The printable booklet has a worksheet for each lesson! 

Need a complete reading unit focused on poetry? The Poetry unit reading resource on the right has EVERYTHING needed to teach students about the style, the rhythm, and the language of poetry. Included are 12 lesson plans complete with anchor charts, poems, comprehension activities, anchor charts, and response prompts.




The spring weather that usually accompanies April is perfect for studying weather. What causes thunder and lightning? How do different clouds form? What makes a tornado twist? Have your budding meteorologists discover the answers to these questions and more! 

Explore my science resource series, Weather, in which students explore what causes the weather they experience every day. The first resource, Types of Clouds, is ready for purchase. The second resource, Weather Instruments, will be available this week! Each resource has lesson slides, interactive activities, and a printable student worksheet booklet.


 
That is all for now!
Have a great week!
