Friendly Famished Frog

By


 We've been talking about tree frogs and their habitats, and we're still on the topic of what animals need to survive. I had students draw a  big hungry frog on a white sheet of paper, color it, and then cut it out. Before they glued the frog on another piece of paper, we cut the mouth open, and folded the frog in the middle, so its mouth would open a little. We folded the paper they would glue it on in the middle. Students glued the frog right in the middle of the folded paper by adding just a little bit of glue around the edges, so the mouth wouldn't stay glued to the paper.
Students copied the questions we've been working on and then made 2 paper pockets to place their answers in. Today they will share their questions and answers with a partner. Ribbit 🐸

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.
