Sea Creatures and Prepositions

And we are all still teaching online...

My teens group is studying sea creatures and some prepositions of place: next to, on, under, between. Our online classes have to be very visual so, besides the slides, I decided to make these paper puppets to help them understand these different prepositions. These were also made by drawing on the inside of boxes and after I cut them out, I glued them onto chopsticks. Students also made their own and we placed the animals in different situations and asked each other questions like: Where is the octopus? and the answer could be: It's next to the seaweed or It's between the starfish and the dophin.

It's good to know that I'll be able to use these when we all go back to our classrooms.

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.
