Tic-Tac-Toe: Let's review what we know.

Everybody knows how to play tic-tac-toe. I used this game to review superlative with my teen students but it can be used for just about anything. All you have to do is adapt it to what you're teaching. A friend from work gave me the idea to use popsicle sticks (thanks Candice). You can use small paper squares for the exes and circles. It would be best to have students write the words on the paper themselves. The more they do the better.
In this picture I used bottle tops, which I am forever saving. After they played the game a few times, they had to come up with sentences in the superlative of the words they used to play.
I placed each tic-tac-toe set in plastic bags and handed them out to pairs. If you have time, the class can rotate around the room and play all the sets; each one had different words on them.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas!!

 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

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

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.
