Lapbooks and Foldables - Food

Another project is about "food".

Here are the foldables for this project:

- layered booklet - the students write their meals planning for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

- tags - the students write what food there is and there isn't on the table as the teacher projects a picture.

- recipe card - the students write a favorite recipe.

- folder pockets - the students write the food words, color the pictures, and classify them according to their colors (brown, red, yellow/orange, and white).

 

 

Step Book - What I Like and Don't Like for Different Meals

Here are the Step Book projects my students developed to write about what they like and don't like for different meals - breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

 

 

Food Categories - Where do fruit and vegetables grow? - Pop-Up Book

Using the pop-up book is an involving way for the students to classify different food items: Do they grow on trees, on plants, or underground? We used one page for each category.

Here are the steps for a dimensional effect on the project:

1. For each page, fold an A5 sheet of paper in half and cut slits down from the fold. Narrow slits for the tree and wide slits for the plant / underground.

2. Push the cut area through the fold and crease it to form a pop-up section.

3. Glue the 3 pages back to back.

4. Label the pictures.

5. Glue a cover to the pop-up book and write the title and the author's name.

Food - Step Book

This is the project my group is going to develop to write about the food they like and don't like for different meals. They'll choose among breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

1. For each student, 2 A4 sheets cut in half. They receive 4 A5 sheets.

2. Place the four sheets of paper on top of one another, overlapping the ends.

 

3. Hold the pages together and fold them over to create more overlapping pages. Staple it.

 

 

4. Write the book title on the top page (students choose one mealtime: breakfast, lunch, or dinner), write the sentences - I like ... / I don't like ... , and draw the respective food item on each succeeding page.

Here's the sample the students will be exposed to:
