3D City

By

  Here's a really creative activity plus craft to practice places in the city and the use of there is/are.
Students have to create 3 layers of their city by adding 3 different paper levels. The first buildings are drawn and colored on a sheet of paper, cut out and glued onto the blue creative paper which should be cut in half. The other 2 levels with the smaller buildings and the cars on the street have to be longer strips of paper than the blue one so they can be glued by their tips onto the first paper.
After the city is ready, students should write about their city and glue it onto the back of the blue paper. Each student can show and describe their city to the class. The cities can also be placed around the classroom (we hope next year) for everybody to be able to check out and read about their friends' cities.
Encourage students to be creative with their cities and only use yours for inspiration.

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! 🎄

My Little Garden

By
Based on a story my fourth-graders read in class about a girl who wanted a garden in her small apartment, I had the class think about what a garden needs. Students first wrote what a garden needs to grow strong and glued this paper with their answer on the back of a green paper. They then made flowers and stems to create their garden. We folded 2 slips of paper to make the stem so the flowers would pop off the page. It was facinating to see how each garden, despite having the same elements, was so diferent.

How are you today?

By
No matter how old my students are, we always start the class by me asking them how they are, or sometimes them asking each other. To help with this opening routine, I made this feelings wheel and now when I ask my fourth-graders how they are, they use a clothespin to attach to the image of how they are feeling. Recently, I've been choosing a mini-teacher and they have to choose 3 students and ask them how they are. They then show the class the student's answer on the feelings wheel and ask the class how he or she is. The class has to give a complete answer, he or she is excited, for example. In a classroom where I can't use screens, this wheel has been a great helper.
