Friendly Famished Frog

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!!

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! 🎄

Eggs, Easter, and Mr. Rabbit's Portrait

It's chocolate time again! In Brazil, Easter means chocolate Easter eggs. Easter also brings to mind bunnies. Since we're still basically at home waiting to get vaccinated here, an Easter craft has to be made with something kids have at home, so egg cartons it is. Saw this with a range of different animals on Pinterest and thought I'd use it for a bunny Easter craft, so here's Mr. Rabbit's portrait. One of the good things about an egg carton is that it has some curves to it, which you can use for the rabbit's ears. I cut up a cereal box to use as the base, which is another thing kids will most likely have at home, of course, it can be any cardboard. I used markers to decorate the frame-like base. Let kids get creative here. I used hot glue just because I wanted everything to dry faster. I then painted the bunny white, waited for it to dry, and added the details with a black pen. The pink on the ears is also paint. I used a little bit of red and when it mixed wi...

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.
