Everybody knows April showers bring May flowers... but they don't know that May flowers bring more than pilgrims! Your kids will enjoy this funny twist on the old saying, and the craft that goes with it even moves with the help of a brad.
The packet includes the poem to print and cut for your pocket chart, the craft sheet with the poem and its parts, a fill-in-the-blank copy for poetry journals or center work, and a bookmark. Although the craft works best if copied on cardstock, no color ink is needed. You can print the bookmark in color, or black and white so your students can add the color.
There's even a fun fact sheet to help with a science mini-lesson so kids know what kind of bugs they are talking about.
I include the directions for a funny little prop seen here. I use it to introduce the lesson.
The kids will love it, and it will bring a smile to parent faces when it goes home.
This kind of project is one of my favorites. It combines oral tradition, language arts, science, and craft for fine muscle practice. I hope to share a lot more of these. Look for activities that combine multiple kinds of learning under the tag Multi-curricular.
Librarians and storytellers might find good use for this, too.
