I created these some years ago for my ELL students and was asked to share! I used these as an alphabet tracing booklet for my students who spoke no english and needed to learn the letters and sounds. They can also be used in the classroom as a secondary alphabet frieze or as flash cards for home or classroom use. Make sure to use the pointer finger for tracing and always correct their finger if they use the incorrect formation! Model the correct way to trace prior to the student using them. Ensu

This is a great way to encourage project based learning and higher level thinking for young learners! You are also integrating science and writing with this activity. This packet includes differentiation for your average, high, and low learners. Research using websites and non-fiction texts and then ask your students to recall their favorite facts. Happy Researching! Also, check out my polar bear research project to make a unit out of it!

I use this activity to introduce tally marks. Get out any manipulatives you have out on your tables or floor and have students grab a handful.
