Build your classroom community with this friendship tree! Students each add their thumbprint to the tree and write their name under it. Place it on your classroom door to make the students feel welcome! Just a note - I usually print it on ledger paper!
"I'm Very Happy to be Me!" Have students fill in the blanks about themselves, draw a picture of themselves and share with their classmates. A great activity for back to school
Have students write about what they see, hear, feel, smell and taste in a haunted house! I pair it with a directed drawing of a haunted house. Glue to construction paper & add this writing paper! Have fun!
Use this product for a fun way to teach probability. Students colour gumballs and glue them onto their gumball machine! Next, they fill out the writing paper with colours that are likely, unlikely, and impossible to get from the machine. Makes a nice bulletin board display!
Welcome Spring! Students write about what they love about spring, or all the things we welcome back (hello birds etc) On the tree, give students tissue paper or construction paper to create their spring tree!
Read the story Owen by Kevin Henkes and have students make a connection by completing this writing page. There are two versions, so you can choose which level your students are at. They can choose a item that they love, just as much as Owen loves his blanket! A great intro activity to Making Connections
Send home a small notebook and jar with 1 student. They can fill it at home, bring it back and students guess how many items are in the jar.
I cut out and glue this page to a small notebook. In the notebook, students write the sentence"There are ____ in my jar"
Happy Estimating!
Read these poem with your students, have them circle the sight words and draw a detailed spring picture at the bottom. Next, have your students read the poem independently and fill in the missing words!
Use this poem as a shared reading, or students can add it to your poetry journals! In the follow up activity students can draw pictures of each of the spring words.
Students use letter tiles (e.g. bananagram letters) and match them on this board. Both lowercase and uppercase letters are provided. A great back to school activity!
