- Number and fill the boxes with quick to answer Math or ELA (or a mix of both) prompts.
- Cut and fill your eggs
- BAM! You are ready to go!
My district is having Spring Break this week, so we took advantage of the final day before break to hit the outdoors for some spiral review. My kids even helped to get the eggs scattered! With clipboard, pencil, and answer sheet in hand, we spread out in our designated area. I scooted a few kids around, tossed the remaining eggs myself, and said GO!
My sweet friends squatted in the grass, opened their own egg, and answered on the document. Then...off they went to find another egg! We easily spent 20 minutes on our Math spiral review and we weren't even finished! In all honesty, I was less concerned about completion, but I was more focused on the opportunity to revisit old standards. There were a few who needed a little reminder...but they were off again in no time!
In all, this is a guilt-free, worksheet-free review your kids will never forget!
We returned inside to quickly check answers on our document camera. I was so pleased to see my kids confidently show mastery of so many skills!
