Here’s a peek into my literacy picnic basket! {Thank you dollar store!} I only spent $8 on a few little props and we feel like we are in the park at Summer time!
We made an anchor chart for our ketchup words
Then we took it a step further and learned a new literacy center!
This one is also on the menu…
I may have heard squeals when I introduced this one. {Okay the squeals were mine} I love chip clips anyway, but now the kids get to enjoy them too! It’s the simple things in life…
My boys were all over being grill king!
And what picnic is complete without some sentence skewers?
We will also be making sight word sandwiches. I had this one already, but I had made each sandwich piece with construction paper and hand written the words. I am thrilled to have given it a make-over!
YUMMY!
No picnic this delicious is without ants. Thankfully the kids were happy to have them along!
We even matched each one up with a cookie!
We decided to cool down with some compound cool aid! So refreshing!
The kids can’t get enough of this one! That pitcher is always being emptied!

Math is a Picnic…in the Classroom!
Crazy good….absolutely loving this one!! I was oooohing and aaaahing over it and my daughter finally said, "Mom, you need to calm down." She's 12 and just doesn't get it 🙂

OMGOSH! This is adorable! This post has me wishing for summer! Unfortunately the temperature around here is still in the 30s and no sight of a barbeque happening anytime soon! I bet your students just loved these activities! You have the neatest ideas!

Reagan….you are going to make me start doing literacy centers yet!!! 🙂 I drool over your cute centers but so far have resisted because of the Daily Five and have enjoyed not making stuff and changing things each month, but I don't know how much longer I will be able to resist!! Are you going to make math picnic centers???

Don't hate me but we do these during daily 5. They are my word work choices. The anchor charts are minilessons.
Thanks for your compliments!
Love, love, love it!!!!!

This unit really is unbelievable! I am speechless. I absolutely love the picnic theme…so creative! We just found out that our last 2 days of school (which are supposed to be half days) are now going to be full days. I think a class picnic theme day may be in order!

Absolutely LOVE this! You must spend a fortune on colored ink! Unfortunately, I don't have access to a color printer at school. The centers aren't nearly as cute on colored tag. I tried printing them at home but bought new cartridges at $40 and wasn't even able to print a set of centers before it was gone. Any suggestions? Is there anywhere in town to print in color reasonably? I am new at centers. Thanks for any suggestions.
You are the cutest thing ever! I want to be just like you when I grow up! Love it!!!!
I'm kind of obsessed with all of this!!!!
I'm working with 5th graders right now but this is so goshdarncute, I want to buy it and play with it myself!! 😀
