April Lessons/Ideas

Earth Day Bulletin Board
Lorax Bulletin Board With my fifth through sixth grade students we read the Lorax and then responded to the writing prompt "Unless"...we also discussed recycling and how we can save our environment. We differentiated the instruction by having some students write paragraphs, while others wrote sentences, and some students we copied the sentences for them after they told us what how they would save teh environment.

Disney Villains Bulletin Board-For Story Walk Fairy Tales Theme-attach Wanted signs of the crime and description of the villains. The students loved these!

March Lessons/Activities

Dr. Suess Inspired Architecture-use Geometric Shapes to create an imaginary city and/or town. We also wrote compare/contrast paragraphs on our town with the town each student drew. This activity was used for fourth through sixth grade students. My sixth graders read Dr. Suess books to the Kindergarteners as well. You are never too old to celebrate Dr. Suess Day!
