We Rock! Rocks & Minerals Lapbook

This is the second year I made the rock and mineral lapbooks with my kids. This is a fun project that I use to wrap up the science chapter. I give the students only one or two pieces to work on per day. This helps with staying on our deadline AND less loss of pieces. I also give each student a manila envelope to keep all their pieces in them until they assemble the full project. This was another item I have ready for Open House.

The cover (designed any way my kidlets wanted to make them):





The Inside (my kidlets were encouraged to glue in their pieces in any way they wanted):




The elements inside. I noticed that I left off a picture of the vocabulary cards. They are inside the white envelope.

All About Me: Figurative Language "Foldable"

All year we worked on Figurative Language to the point where our class could hardly read a paragraph in a book without one of the students shouting out some sort of figurative language that they found. For a culminating activity, I purchased this really neat figurative language project off of "Teachers Pay Teachers" which was made by "Working For the Classroom". The kids had a great time making them even though they were time consuming. They were a big hit at Open House.


Here are some inside photos of the project:
