Father's Day Activity

Father's Day Mini Book Activity

Don't forget to give Dad some 'lovin on Father's Day!! Sometimes Dads get the raw end of the deal because Father's Day falls during the summer for most school systems, especially in the south.  Don't let that happen this year.  Have your students design their Father's Day mini book project (see below) before they leave for summer vacation. This little Father's Day activity is a great literacy activity because it involves writing.  It will work perfectly as a whole group activity or as a center.  Students simply fill in the information, color, cut, and staple into a mini booklet.  Dad will really appreciate the thought that went into each page.

Puzzles Literacy Center

Puzzles ... How fun is that!!

I have put together some little puzzle activities for the classroom.  These are the first four, and there will be lots more to come.  These first puzzles simply have basic sight words on them.  They are themed for spring.  There are many ways you can use these little puzzles.  You can have them baggied up for kids to do when they are finished with their work, or you can have them available in a literacy center.  The kids can work individually or with a partner.  You can get all the details for each puzzle product in my Teachers Pay Teachers store.

Figurative Language Activities

Figurative Language Activities

We have spent the last couple of weeks studying figurative language, and my students have had so much fun.  It really is a fun topic to teach!  One of our class activities has been the making of a figurative language mini book.  As a new type of figurative language was introduced, the students added the definition, example, and an illustration to their booklet.  I don't know about your kids, but mine always like to make little books. 

We have covered many types of figurative language, but one activity in particular I wanted to share with  you is on Idioms.  Are you familiar with the books My Mama Likes to Say, My Teacher Likes to Say, and My Daddy Likes to Say by Denise Brennan-Nelson?  If not, you have got to use them when you cover Idioms.  Plus, I found a great packet to go along with idioms that was put out by the publisher of the books.  It's free, so click HERE to get that. 

In my store, I also have resources to go along with your figurative language unit.

Here is a set of figurative language posters.  I use these to project on the SmartBoard when introducing a new type of figurative language.  You could easily just print them out and use them for display on a bulletin board.

Click here to view the figurative language posters.

I also made a figurative language game.  Visit my Teachers Pay Teachers store for all the details.  Your students are sure to have fun playing this as a literacy center.

Here are a few pictures from some of our figurative language lessons.

The picture below is an alliteration number line.  Each students was given a number, and they had to write an alliteration that went along with the beginning sound of the number they were given.  They looked really cute hanging in order out in the hallway.  I also hung some other examples of alliteration around the posters.

Lewis and Clark Activity

Lewis and Clark Activity

If you are like me, you are always looking for ways to integrate the subjects of social studies and science into your reading and writing activities.  We have been studying Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and their expedition to the Pacific Ocean.  Of course, Sacagawea was along for a good portion of the trip, too.  Because we know so much about their journey due to the journals they kept, I thought it would be neat for the kids to write from the perspective of one of the three people and recount some of the adventures, discoveries, and hardships they faced.  Plus, I found the coolest extra-large journal-looking paper at the Dollar Store, so it made for a fun activity.  Even fourth graders love it when you pull out cool writing paper! Most wrote more than would fit on the journal  paper, so they had to write some on notebook paper and staple it to the journal sheet.They look great hanging out in the hall.  Here is a peek

Martin Luther King, Jr. Bookmarks

I don't know what it is about a new bookmark, but kids do love them.  I am including these Martin Luther King, Jr. bookmarks as a FREEBIE download.  Just cut them out, laminate them, and pass them out.  Themed bookmarks are a great thing to hand to students as they enter through the door in the morning, especially if you are going to be doing other themed MLK activities throughout the day. Looking for activities revolving around the holiday, try my literacy center ABC order activity.  You can read about it on my blog post by clicking here : Martin Luther King, Jr. literacy center.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Activities

Martin Luther King, Jr.

MLK Day is celebrated each year on the third Monday in January.  Most school systems are off that day, but it's still fun to do activities related to the holiday, whether it is the Friday before MLK Day or the Tuesday after.  

In my Teachers Pay Teachers store I have an ABC order activity. It comes with 16 Martin Luther King, Jr. themed vocabulary cards, which are to be cut out and put in a baggie. Students will lay the cards out in the correct order and then once they have them set up, they will copy the words onto the MLK themed skill sheet. The skill sheet is suitable for taking a grade.  There is also writing paper to go along with the MLK theme where students will write a letter to Martin Luther King, Jr. telling him what they would say to him if he were alive today. This makes for a great literacy center activity.
