Drawing Heads

By
I didn't really know what I could call this activity but I guess Drawing Heads is exactly what it first starts out to be. Let me tell you what I did. We were studying clothes and the kids were all 6 or 7 years old. I handed out paper and asked them to use the entire size of the paper to draw their heads. When they were done, I taped the Heads to the board, gave each student a pen and asked them to draw the rest of their bodies. They then had to describe what they were wearing to their friends. Very simple but they had a lot of fun on the board and could change what they were wearing.
You can also use this and instead of just having them draw whatever clothing they want, you dictate what they should draw. You can have them add belts, boots and buttons. By the way, that's me in the striped pajamas.

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! 🎄

Easter Part 2

By
Here's one more craft I did with my 4th-graders. They dipped their fingers in paint to make the little bunnies or eggs. We did the paint one day and the next day after the paint was completely dry, they added the details and wrote "Happy Easter"!  We folded half of a craft paper in half so it could stand up on a table. I had told them they could use it to decorate their houses for the holiday. This was fast and easy.

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.
