We are starting to get on each other's nerves in first grade!  Too many indoor recesses.  We discussed in the teachers' lounge that the kids usually start disliking each other in March and Boy! do they need to get out on the playground and get the wind in their fur!

We're trying to think of some fun new ways to present lessons to keep everyone happier.  Yesterday we practiced writing our spelling words in shaving cream on our desks.  We took a mini-chocolate-donut bread another day (cheese crackers for those who didn't want sweets).  When the ground dries from the snow and rain we will be able to take a nature walk down the street and write about that.

Any other early elementary ideas out there to keep the days exciting?     Eva
