This week is a short one, and next week we have spring break, so we aren’t reading one of our Treasures stories. Instead, my students and I have been doing a lot of math, science, and social studies… plus having some fun as we decorate our room for April 🙂
Today I planned to do something completely different, but when I realized I left my baseball buddy patterns at home, I had to think fast. I remembered seeing a super cute and easy activity while blog stalking: Namebow Rainbows from Reagan at Tunstall’s Teaching Tidbits!
I quickly made a cloud pattern and cut strips of colorful construction paper during snack time. As a class we brainstormed adjectives for each letter of the alphabet. When we were done, we chose adjectives for each letter of our first names. Here’s mine:
Cute, cute, cute! Love it – thank you so much!

Crazy for that carrot! I think we might need to get a note from The Easter Bunny on a carrot like that! =)
Wahoo for almost getting to 1,000!
You are amazing!
You are the queen of the Crafting with the Stars bloggers I know. =)

Love everything about this post!! Except when I try to think on my toes, my product never turns out as cute! Lol. Also, I always wondered if Teri was short for something!!
I'm with Hadar. If I have to do something last minute, it never turns out as cute as your (Reagan's) rainbows!

Cute Blog! Love your name idea with the rainbow strips! Going to use it when I get back from Easter break!
There are so many of you that have "hooked" me into the blogging world & have inspired me to want to start my own! If you have any great advice for a newbie- I am willing to learn! I just started my own blog and waiting for my blog makeover which should be ready in a few days! I would love to learn how to create printables etc, but my "nitch" is technology. If you are interested in integrating technology into the classroom, maybe you could stop by:

Love your namebows and will definately be using them when teaching adjectives next week. Already planning to use them at the beginning of the following year with my new class. Thanks for the idea.
Thank-you for the namebows. Using with our Girl Scouts while camping!
LOVE this!!! Thank you for posting it, I am going to do it with my preschoolers AND as part of my teaching demo on adjectives for my grad school class.
So I'm googling acrostic poems and I see an example of your namebos… Love it! This will be a perfect introduction to my poetry unit!
