Spring is equal parts sunshine and squirrels. These activities lean into the energy instead of fighting it, and they still cover real standards.

Plant a measurement garden. Students plant seeds, then measure and graph growth for three weeks. Science, math, and a windowsill full of hope.

Take math outside. Perimeter with sidewalk chalk, area with hula hoops, data collection on the playground. Movement makes the concept memorable.

Use seasonal centers for review. A spring theme on a familiar center format gives you novelty without a new routine to teach.

End the week with a craft that reviews a skill. Students display their thinking, and your hallway does the bragging for you.
