How's the Weather 2

Here's another idea to practice talking about the weather. I used a strip of a thin cardboard from a cake box I had. I stapled the strip to make a circle and cut 2 slits on the sides so I could insert different clouds: cloudy, snowy, rainy. I glued a blue paper circle on the back and drew the house and the full moon on the same thin cardboard and glued them onto the blue background. I also glued a string to the back to be able to hang the craft somewhere. I used creative paper for the clouds. Since I made this last year, I ended up hanging it on my Christmas tree.

So, the idea is to insert or better have your students insert the different clouds and ask each other: How's the weather?

You can also let them be creative and instead of a house, they can draw something else, like a tree or a pet. Enjoy! 😊

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.
