My Backpack

By
What do you have in your backpack? Well, my 5 year olds have a pencil, an eraser, a ruler, glue, crayons, and scissors.
I made these paper backpacks and drew the school material for them but depending on how much time you have, the students can draw the objects themselves, which of course would be much better. After a class and a song about these classroom objects, they colored and cut out the school material. Next class, they’re going to use I have to tell me about what they have in their backpacks. We are also going to have a race with the backpacks lined up in front of the classroom. I’ll have one student say: I have (a pencil) in my backpack. The first student to run to their backpack and get the correct object, wins! There are lots of ways we can use their work to practice vocabulary and structures. What would you do?

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.
