And more Easter - Tic Tac Toe it!

 


 




Making a Tic Tac Toe is an awesome fun way to review any vocabulary and to celebrate different holidays or festivities. On this game, I used plastic bottle caps, which I always like to save to repurpose, chopsticks and white paper.
It's pretty easy for students to make, just advise them in advance to start saving the bottle caps and get some chopsticks or popsicle sticks for the "hashtag". You and the students can be creative when it comes to drawing the eggs and the bunnies. Another option is drawing eggs and carrots or bunnies and carrots. When they're done, have them share the colors and details they used on their eggs. If they are still at home, they can play with their family.

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! 🎄

My Little Garden

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?

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.
