Little Lady

By

 My 3rd-grade bilingual class is studying animals and what they need to survive. We started talking about how we can describe animals, for example, a tiny, round, black, and red bug. Guessed it? Yeah, that’s a ladybug 🐞 They read about how they can use colors, shapes, and sizes to talk about different animals. 

They then made ladybugs out of red paper, drew some details, and glued them to water bottle tops. They also made a leaf for their ladybug because one of the things they mentioned animals need to survive is a home. Different animals have different homes. We taped the leaves to popsicle sticks, mostly so they wouldn't get lost. At the end of the class, we made a game out of everything. 

They placed their leaves on the floor. The ladybugs were placed around a meter away from their leaves. The students had to flick the ladybugs and try to get them as close to their leaves as possible. The student who was able to get their ladybug the closest won the game.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas!!

By
 Last days of class and everything is Christmasy! I used paint and markers to liven up my students' paper portfolio envelopes with a holly ribbon. The kids loved them! They then added their own Christmas theme decorations to their portfolios. We also made holiday bookmarks which were pretty easy to make with leftover craft paper from the year. And look who I got to take a picture with at the mall! 🎄

My Best Shot

By
Back to school for our second semester. Of course, we talked about what the kids did on their vacation. We brainstormed everything people do while on vacation and put all their ideas on the board. Next, I asked them to think of one of their best moments and imagine they had taken a photo of it. Then, we folded half of a white sheet in half, they drew their cameras and on the inside they had to draw their "photo" and write a sentence about it using the past. The sentence had to start with, on my vacation I_____. Last, we added string to their cameras so they could hang it around their neck like a real photographer and each student got to present their work to the class.

My Little Garden

By
Based on a story my fourth-graders read in class about a girl who wanted a garden in her small apartment, I had the class think about what a garden needs. Students first wrote what a garden needs to grow strong and glued this paper with their answer on the back of a green paper. They then made flowers and stems to create their garden. We folded 2 slips of paper to make the stem so the flowers would pop off the page. It was facinating to see how each garden, despite having the same elements, was so diferent.
