This homemade first words flip book helps children learn to form basic three-letter words. The following post contains affiliate links, which means that at no extra cost to you I can make a tiny bit of money to help support this blog. Thank you! To make this flip book I used: 3 plastic file folders from the dollar store* Cardstock (optional) 3 24mm split rings single hole punch permanent markers *If you can't find plastic file folders you could use colored card instead. Or colored plastic filing dividers could work too as long as they are opaque enough. I cut the file folders
So one of my goals this year was to put student work up on the walls in my classroom. You see, with 200+ students, how do I put all students' work up? Well that's just it... I don't. I was already collecting sample work from students (you know, keeping the REALLY good ones to show next year's students what their final product should look like), but wasn't doing anything with those samples aside from keeping them in a drawer until the following year. That's when I decided that it was time to put those samples up on the wall. I realized that I don't have to put up samples from EVERY student... meaning, I don't have to put up the eye-sores non-sample work. Below are pictures of what now adorns my very colorful and educational wall. I have already referenced projects on the wall several times... And my 8th graders are reminded of the science they forget from learned in 7th grade. Fun, right? And after receiving numerous emails requesting templates to make some of the foldables shown above, I decided to make a few tutorial posts. You see, my students are AMAZING artists and therefore none of the above projects required templates. Just instructions. So here they are.

Tavaly nagyon sokat küszködtem a felszíni formák tanításánál. Végül a Dombor Dínó lett az, ami alapján sokan megjegyezték a formák nevét és színét, valamint a rájuk jellemző tulajdonságokat. Forrás A gyerekek tavalyi munkái Éppen ezért az idén "ő" lett a teremdekorációnk egyik része, persze most még nem végleges, mivel az osztállyal közösen szeretném majd befejezni. Szókártyák és képek kerülnek majd a dínó köré, hogy még szemléletesebb legyen a dolog. A nyomtató segítségével poszterként nyomtattam ki, majd kartonra átmásoltam és befestettem. Krepp papírból van a háttér. Aminek pedig még jobban örülök az az, hogy pár napja találtam egy nagyon jó kis ötletet, mely még jobban szemlélteti a különböző felszíni formákat. Landform Flipbook-nak nevezte el a készítő, (bár ezt a kifejezést mi más vonatkozásban használjuk) nem tudom, mi lehetne a magyar megfelelője, de nem is az a lényeg, hanem hogy nagyon látványos. Ahogy lapozunk, úgy tűnik szemünk elé a megfelelő felszíni forma rajza és neve, érzékeltetve a magasságot is. Ízelítőül néhány kép, a teljes flipbook itt látható. Úgy gondolom, hogy ezek után nem lesz olyan gyerek, aki mégsem tudná megjegyezni. Legalábbis remélem. Aki most lesz harmadikos, az gyurmázhat, mint mi tavaly, vagy tépkedhet, de akár meg is eheti a felszíni formákat. A Pinterest-en találtam ezeket az ehető ötleteket. (Sajnos csak egy képnél tudtam rákeresni a forrásra.) Forrás És végül ehhez a földtani sütihez mit szóltok? Szintén a Pinterest-ről.

As you are going to discover, I adore foldables. Many of my postings will show the foldables I use in my classroom. Here is my model for plant parts. To create it, a regular sheet of copy paper (or in the case of my model, cardstock) is folded in half, hotdog (or lengthwise) style. Cut marks are made every 2 3/4 inches, but don't cut it yet, as it will make drawing the flower more difficult. Using these marks, draw a flower in the top section, making it large enough to fill the space. In the next section down, you will need to draw a leaf or two and a bud. The following section is the easiest--just continue the stem and establish the ground line. In the bottom section, draw roots. For my example, I drew fibrous roots because these are the roots my students most easily recognize. Color your image and label the parts. Now, you are ready to cut the sections apart. Inside, using the cuts as a guide, my students and I fill out the information needed for each plant part, in particular the job of the part. We fill all this out together to ensure students have complete and accurate information. Once the foldable is ready, students use them to study from and to self test. Tip: reluctant artists may find free hand drawing a flower intimidating. While I encourage them to try to do it on their own, I do have traceable images they can use if the stress of drawing is too great.

Bottle flipping, bottle tossing, the bottle flip challenge, water bottle toss challenge, or water bottle flip challenge - regardless of the name, your students are most likely familiar with it and driving teachers, parents, and community members a little crazy flipping their half filled water bottles and trying to land them upright in the classroom, cafeteria, at recess and outside of school. Here is a video of my husband demonstrating (sidenote, I'm really terrible at it!) Just this morning I watched a group of students walking to school stop and attempt to flip a bottle they had placed on an upended recycling

Last week we played a great Phases of the Moon card game. This week I reused the graphics for another fun activity. I designed flip book pages, so my son could make his own "animation" of the moon moving through eight phases. I handed my oldest son three copies of the pages, which he cut out using my personal paper trimmer. Even our 5-year-old got in on the action. Once the pages were all cut apart, the 9-year-old sorted them into piles. With that completed, he looked at the reference sheet and put the piles in order. With the cover page first, he began pulling one page from each pile, placing them after the one before. Next we used the three hole-punch to make holes in the left side of all the pages. Finally we added a tiny rubberband and paperclip as the binding. Now came the fun part: flipping the pages to see the moon change! My son thought this was the coolest! Download the free 2-page PDF of these pages from Google Drive here. And then flip out! This idea was inspired by an activity in the book Science Crackers Awesome Astronomy by Raman Prinja.

First, I need to admit that I traced this image. I didn’t like any of my free-handed, dissected flowers, and just like I tell my students not to get hung up on their drawings, I had to allow that the stress of drawing this image well enough was getting too great. (I’ll also admit that I am rather proud I can follow my own advice!) The base of this poster is just a piece of regular copy paper or cardstock. The folded flaps are regular copy paper cut into 2 ½ inch x 4 inch pieces. (Okay, I discovered that trick after making my model. My model only has a ½ inch flap to glue to the poster, but this made coloring it a trick. My students, instead, create a folded piece, with the info written inside that they glue down; this is much simpler that writing on the poster itself.) Each of the flap pieces, 9 in total, need the flower parts labeled on their fronts. For younger kids you could simplify this by omitting the parts they don’t yet need to learn. Again, we fill out the information as a class to ensure students have correct and complete information to study, and once the poster is ready, students can use it to study and self-test.
