Spring Activity Pack - Part Four is Here!

Spring is a period of rebirth and regrowth for both plant and animal life. Animals that hibernate in the winter start to wake up and become active again. Many animals such as cows, horses, rabbits, ducks, chickens, and sheep have babies, or give birth, during spring. 

In Part Four of this Spring-tastic Resource are informational articles and diagrams about the cycle of life. Focusing on chicks and lambs of course!

With this edition, I've also included a Spring mini-book for students to cut out, color, and put together as a review of what we learned so far.

What is a Hero? A Special Discovery Lesson

Some might say that a hero is someone who does amazing feats like winning an Olympic gold medal or the Noble Peace Prize. Others say that being a hero is someone who performs a brave act like a firefighter who goes into a burning building to save a child. Everyone has different ideas and opinions about what a hero is. This is a lesson that students will never forget!

In this product, donated to heroes everywhere, students will learn about 3 heroes: Clara Barton, Jackie Robinson, and Helen Keller. Then they will dig deeper to figure out what makes a hero a hero. Lastly, after coming up their own definition about heroes, students will determine who is their hero and write that special person a thank you card or letter. The templates are provided. 

Heroes are everywhere, everyone has someone who has positively influenced, let's honor them! Click below for this amazing freebie!
