All You Need is Paper (and a little love) ESL/EFL activities

I had my third graders make these frogs to share their favorite part of a story called Frog Brings Rain. They first made the paper frogs and then drew their favorite part on a white sheet of paper to glue inside. Then, they had to write a sentence about what they drew. Finally, each student came to the front of the class to share their drawing and their sentence. They really enjoy sharing their work with their friends. Plus, I believe it's essential for their work to have a purpose besides just me collecting and checking what they do. I made videos of their presentations and posted the videos for their parents to be able to see on an online platform I use called  Seesaw  .  

 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 🐸
