Learning by Lo

This project allows students to share their own cultures and traditions with their classmates. The students work on a Holiday's Around the World project by creating an informational poster about a holiday that is special to them and their family. Included are the directions that you can send home with each student, a note taking guide, a map, and writing pages for students.

Children will create their own ice cream shop! After they design their shop and choose their flavors, they will work through solving various problems about selling scoops of ice cream. This activity does not require a lot of materials and includes multiple ways to engage learners in practicing math skills.

This log is great for students who are still in the earlier stages of learning how to read. They should be able to locate the title and author of a book and copy it directly to their reading log. In addition, students should locate three unfamiliar words and copy them into the boxes on the reading log. Even my below grade level students can complete this independently without much support after having the opportunity to practice a few times. Students are held accountable for independent reading

This activity is great to take along during a walk outdoors or playtime in the backyard. Students will use four of their five senses to describe the world around them.

Students can use this page as a guide for planning their designs for making a gingerbread house! This is a great way to bring the engineering design process to a really fun winter activity.

Students can try making comparisons using similes before adding similes to their own poems.

These are three different writing checklists that students can use at home to check their work before they decide they are finished. If you have a plastic sleeve or a laminator, laminate the lists so that your child can reuse the same one over and over! Students can use a writing utensil or dry erase marker to check off each element after they complete their writing assignments. The checklists are specific to opinion writing, creative writing, and summarizing a story.
