My Spring Door and a Line Plot

It's official. I have Spring Fever. Probably worse that my students, and they have it pretty bad! I blame it on all of our snow days, because once I got out of my rhythm, it's been so hard to get back into the swing of things. I'm trying to hang in there for one more day, until my Spring Break officially begins. Hopefully, that will give me a little extra boost for the rest of the school year!

I am absolutely in love with my new spring door! I know it isn't necessary, because we don't have to decorate doors, and there isn't anything academic on it. But, every time I walk in my door, I smile. That's why I love it. It's the little things! I have to admit that I did have some tons of help with my awesome student teacher! It is beyond nice to have an extra set of hands in the classroom.

I also have a quick little freebie to share with you! I've had it ready for weeks, but I just hadn't thought to write about it yet! Sorry! This activity is for 3.MD.4, where students measure to the nearest 1/4 inch and create line plots using those measurements. I don't think that the content of that standard is too difficult, but sometimes my students have trouble staying organized with it. I made this little activity to help scaffold them toward more independence, and it went wonderfully! It's pretty basic, but it definitely got the job done. Just click on the picture to grab a copy!
