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

 Had my bilingual group rip paper to create stems for flowers, a sun and part of a tree. They were doubtful but it worked. They used scissors for the flowers which they cut from paper circles into spirals and then rolled the paper up around a pencil to get a flower effect. They had first written about what butterflies need to survive on a white sheet of paper and glued it to the back of the black paper. I asked them to highlight the important wordds from the texts. Today they will read their texts to the class and present their butterfly houses. Here are some examples of their work. The text is mine, I forgot to take pictures of their texts.😬

My first grade group has been studying seasons. We made this 3D paper tree to reinforce spring vocabulary. Even though we are still having online classes, it was pretty easy for them to follow along. I used a peice of cardboard I had as the base for the tree. I also used half of a tea box so I could stand my tree up. My students didn't have the same colors of paper I had but all the trees cames out great.
