Rejoice, it’s the end of the school year. We’re so eager for summer that we sometimes forget about all the things we have to do for the last few weeks of school. Hopefully, you’ll be celebrating a successful year with our students. For those of you who didn’t have a great year, it’s time to cheer, you never have to see this group of kids again, at least not in your classroom.

Who wants a spring clipart FREEBIE?! Great for adding a punch of color to covers, or to embellish your spring, Easter, or Earth day resources, these doodle flower illustrations are just the thing 🙂 There are 5 different images, each in 3 different color variations. White-filled blacklines are also included. Enjoy!

All pieces are high resolution 300 dpi PNG images on transparent backgrounds and can easily be layered into your projects and lesson materials.

What Are Doodle Clips? Doodle Clips are images created from sketching traditionally (on paper), inking (blackline), then coloring either traditionally (with markers, pencils, or paint) or digitally. They tend to have a much more organic feel, and AREN’T composed of perfectly straight lines. There is beauty in imperfection, which is what I love most about Doodle Clips!

Are your students struggling in the classroom? Are they having difficulty drawing recognizable pictures in their writing journals? Difficulty processing visual information and poor visual-motor coordination skills can lead to problems with reading, spelling, handwriting, drawing, math, and comprehension. Use these fun roll and draw a leprechaun, visual perception activities to help your students improve their drawing and planning skills. Visual perception is the skill needed for a child to make sense of what they see. Help their brains interpret the information they are taking in all day long with these activities.

This St. Patrick’s Day No Prep Roll and Draw a Leprechaun and Roll and Color a Leprechaun. Two activities in one download. Great for classroom or small group special education or occupational therapy session. Works on fine motor and visual perceptual skills. Students roll a die to select which part of the picture they need to draw and in what order. If they have to start with the hands or feet they will need to plan out where those will be on the completed drawing. Also included, a roll and color sheet, for students unable to draw.

I have also found refrigerator magnet, Leprechaun sets, at the Dollar Tree (in the Spring). Another great way to differentiate this activity.

This Roll a Leprechaun and many more activities can be found in my St. Patrick’s Day Differentiated Worksheets and Activities and St. Patrick’s Day Bundle.

Palindromes in Words and Numbers

By Vicky Rauch of Scipi

I was getting ready to pay for my meal at a buffet when I noticed the cashier’s name tag. It read “Anna” to which I replied, “Your name is a palindrome!” The cashier just stared at me in disbelief. I explained that a palindrome was letters that read the same backwards as forwards. Because you could read her name forwards and backwards, it qualified as a palindrome. In fact, February 22, 2022 will be a palindrome if written as 2-22-22!

I Dreaded My Third Period Class

It was cold and blustery outside, one of those days you just wanted to stay under the covers, but truth be told, I immediately thought about how I dreaded my third period class, I so wanted to turn over and forget about it for a while. I knew I had to face it, so I begrudgingly got out of bed. Alas, it was only hump day, and I had a busy schedule, so I dragged myself out of bed, had my cup of coffee and a piece of toast.

Under The Blotter: Engagement Questions

by Gini Musmanno of Reading Spotlight

Need a way to encourage independent reading?

The Beauty of Math Patterns

By Vicki Rauch of Scipi

Some people say mathematics is the science of patterns which I think is a pretty accurate description. Not only do patterns take on many forms, but they occur in every part of mathematics. But then again patterns occur in other disciplines as well. They can be sequential, spatial, temporal, and even linguistic. Discover more about pattern in this blog post.
