Have students use their imagination to create a new (abridged) version of The Three Little Pigs. They can draw the pigs' houses made of different materials, a different villain, and a unique solution.

This cut and glue activity is a great hands-on for students to practice putting sequential steps in the correct order.

Students can follow the easily recognizable steps of how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, then write or draw in the step that is missing. Great for critical thinking, or a fun way to jump start a how-to writing unit.

Have students show what they know about the difference in the seasons. I had my students draw the same tree in all four seasons, but you could have your students draw what clothing would be appropriate, what activities you can do, or what the weather is like in each season. Great for so many tasks, feel free to use however you choose!

Celebrate Día de los Muertos by trying your hand at your own sugar skull! After learning about the holiday customs, traditions and history, students can color in my own humble attempt at a traditional calaca.
