P is for Pizza!

By


 My little five-year olds are studying the letter P, so we made some pizza but with paper of course. I pre-cut small pieces of yellow paper for the cheesse and some small pieces of green paper for the oregano. In class, we cut red paper tomatoes and pepperoni, purple paper onions, and the kids drew mushrooms and cut them out.
We practiced answering do you like pizza and repeated the names of all the toppings they added. They also practiced counting how many slices we had and also used their pizza to say, I'm hungry!
They were very excited to take their pizza slices home to show their families.

Eggs, Easter, and Mr. Rabbit's Portrait

By
 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

Where is the monster?

By
I used the standing 3-D triangle again with my first-graders. We were studying parts of the house and the preposition IN. They first made all the rooms in a house, one room per class, so it took us 4 classes to finish the complete house and glue everything togther with a paper bag handle glued in the middle so they could take it home more easily. They also had to write the names of the rooms. Last. I used plastic bottle tops for the students to make their little monsters. After they dried, I would say the monster is in the living room, for example, and the students tried to be the first to place the monster in the correct room. Then, I let the students say where the monster was for their classmates to place the monster in the correct room. They also got to place their monsters wherever they wanted and I asked them, where their monster was and they would say it's in the bedroom, for example. The class was really excited about this project and couldn't wait to take their houses h

I Believe I Can Fly!

By
My first-graders have been talking about what they can and can't do. I had them decorate these paper wings I cut out.  I added a paper loop on the back of each wing so they could fit their hands in. In one class they glued sequins and fingerpainted the wings with different colors. The following class, they "flew" around the classroom as they repeated I can fly. They couldn't wait to take the wings home to fly around the house. 😀
