Nature

What is there on this landscape? Students chose a geographical feature to illustrate a card.

Next, they drew and wrote a postcard to a person they liked most.

How's the Weather?

A Window Booklet for the students to practice asking and answering questions about the weather. 
The cover is a cut-out window and the inside pages are 6 different weather conditions.

My Classroom

Students practiced asking What's this? and What's that? by making a pop-up booklet to identify some school supplies.

A Bat Mini-Book

After coloring and cutting out the bat, students cut out the story, stapled them together, and glued the pages to the center.

Felt Nocturnal Animals

Here are three nocturnal animals (bats, foxes, and owls) my group is going to talk about this week.

The finger puppet bat represents "Stellaluna", a beautiful story written by Janell Cannon. I'm sure they'll love it.

Clothes - A Craftfoam Booklet

I used craftfoam for the pages and the cut-outs to make this booklet and have the students practice the vocabulary related to clothes. They pretended they washed the clothes in a washing machine, dried them in a washing line, put them in a closet, and dressed up the boy and the girl.

Family in a Matchbox

Here's a fun way for the students to practice the spelling of family-related words.

Tape the picture of a family member to the top of a matchbox, write the letters that form the respective words on slips, and put them inside the box. 

Divide the class into as many groups as there are boxes and give each group a matchbox.

At your signal, the groups open the box and form the words related to the member illustrated on the top of the box.

This is more effectively played if the nature of the task is that of cooperation rather competition.

After you check the correct spelling, groups move their boxes to their right for a new turn with a different word.
