Fortunately, I had already completed my materials for tomorrow. We will review characterization and I have made a poster for character traits. My original idea was to laminate the poster and use Vis-A-Vis to write on it when we review. However, I forgot our laminating machine at school is messed up! So the students will have to create their own copy of my poster.
Here is the poster we will use:
It is not your vision...this is definitely out of focus! |
Fold the paper in half (like a hamburger). |
Fold it in half again! |
Fold up one corner. Make sure it is on the folded side! |
Open the paper up. |
Have students trace the folds. Fill in the character name and write away! |
Please be sure to check out my new pages for books and documents!! You will find them at the top of my page!
I'll end this post with a great quote my sweet cousin Enid had my mother forward to me. It may just become my email tagline...
"You can teach children to dream of a bright new future or you can teach them to build it with their own two hands."--Unknown
As teachers, we should teach them to dream AND build!!
Always,
Tammy

Hi Tammy:
ReplyDeleteI can so relate!
It takes me forever to complete a post and I'm not even hurt! It took me four hours for the last one--which explains why I'm not ready for tomorrow!
LOVE that foldable idea! So easy--yet so cool!!!
Here's a chuckle for you... Counter or floor in your photos? I take pictures all over my house, trying to find a good background (Haven't found it yet, though!)
Happy week ahead!

Hi Tammy - The photos came out as well as mine do but thanks for the paper folding tutorial. I was over here trying to figure out how to make such a pretty diamond in the middle of the page and then you solved the riddle!
ReplyDeleteI just posted a reply to your comment on my blog about genre and 4th graders. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Vampirates! I am almost done with the series and then I have students clamoring at me that we must read the new 39 clues books. It a second mystery with 39 more clues! Oh whatever shall we do??
