Chameleon Colors

Still on the topic of pets, we will be talking about unusual pets people have. I will read the story A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni besides the one they already have in their book. They will do this activity after they listen to the story. I drew a Pinterest inspired (almost always) on a box I had, colored it and cut it out. I glued it onto a bottle cap so students would be able to slide it around. I then painted several chopsticks I have been saving from sushi orders for students to match with the colors of the chameleon. After the matching is done, they will draw their own chameleon to match one of the other sticks.

One day, when we go back to our classrooms, I want to do this activity and have the students draw their chameleons and paint their own sticks for other students in the class to match up.

I love chameleons, maybe, because we have all had to become one this year.

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.
