Elephant Life Cycle Story and Comprehension

 Today I want to highlight my Elephant Life Cycle Story and Comprehension pack.

It's comes from my Elephant lapbook, but I decided to make it a separate offering as time could be a huge factor when choosing lessons for your Elephant theme.

Inside this mini pack is a 3 page text passage on the life cycle of the Elephant followed by comprehension questions and a wordsearch.

Just click either the cover or the worksheets to go to my store.

It's only $3.00.  

Thanks so much for visiting.

Elephant Comprehension Test Time

 Today I separated out the Comprehension Test Time pages from my Elephant interactive lapbook.  This will be particularly handy if you only need a small extra item for your Elephant unit, or if you want to cover some interesting facts about the Elephant but are short of time.

All the questions relate directly to the written text on the page.

Inside are the following 4 pages:

Art - Roosters and Elephants

We did Art twice this week~!!

First up, we tried an oil pastel drawing / coloring of a rooster.

The example and instructions are on the left.  My example for the girls on the right.

At first I wasn't so sure about the oil pastel thing, but I really like how it came out in the end.

 We also did a poster sized painting of an elephant.

I discovered that I could print poster sized pictures on hubby's laptop.  So.........

I went and got me a piece of clipart.  Put it in word.  Turned it into a pdf.  Then I sent it to print 8 x A4.

After that I taped it together.  Added a sun, clouds, and ground.  Then it was ready for the girls to paint.

And voila~!!

 I think that the photo doesn't really show how big it is in real life.  It was definitely a two child job.   I hope we can do some more poster sized pictures soon.  

Thanks for visiting.

 

Elephant Freebie

Wow - where do I start?  How's all that noise with Jessica's giveaway.  I'm still trying to get through ALL the window shopping.  That is one amazing giveaway~!!

Today I'd like to thank all my new followers and share a little freebie with everybody.

We did an Elephant unit not too long ago and so I thought that you might like a copy of my little Elephant labelling worksheet.

It also comes with a "Can, Have, Are" chart too.  :o)

Just click on the picture to grab the file.  :o)

Thanks for visiting~!!

Normally we do ART on Wednesdays.  Can you guess what the girls wanted to do today?  Yep, more Elephant stuff.  Go figure.   

This is what Phebe did.  It's an elephant card.  They LOVED doing that dot stamping sooooo much that they were super happy to continue with a bit more.

 This is what Chloe did.  It was actually her idea that we use these little elephants and make a card.

Thanks for visiting.  :o)

The Elephant - Part 2

We started part 2 with another book.  A previously read book, but a favorite.  A living book as we follow the life of a female elephant.

 Then we did our - can, have, are charts.

This one is Chloe's.

 This one is Phebe's.  It was afternoon and the girls were getting tired so Phebe stopped here.

This is what Chloe ended up with in the writing department.  She probably could of done a bit better if she hadn't been a bit tired, or if I got her to work on it a bit more at another time.   Technically this is a first draft - so from that point of view she did pretty good.

Thanks for visiting~!!

The Elephant - Part 1

Today I made the most cutest little elephant labeling worksheet and was soooo desperate, excited to use it.

But first we had to pay the obligatory stroll through a book.  Beautiful, beautiful illustrations.

And very much in a similar format as to our Penguin unit - I thought that we should start with a paper craft.

This one is Chloes ( 7 ).  I just used some clipart ( from KPM ).   Then I gave the girls some colored ink pads and 4 little dot stamps ( they were all different sizes).  The girls also used a black marker to highlight the outline.

This one is Phebes ( 5 ).  Even though it is such a simple project - they really had heaps of fun enjoying themselves while stamping away with their little dots.

Then we did a labeling worksheet.  Now darlings....as an educator.....and a lover of paper.....this is what I made this afternoon, and was in sooooo much hurry to try it out.  If you'd like to try it out ( a can, have, are chart ) you can find it for FREE --- HERE. 

This one was done by Chloe.

This one was done by Phebe.

I do hope that you can come back to see part 2 soon.  :o)  That's where I'll be doing show and tell for the - can, have, are chart and a writing journal page.

Thanks for visiting.  :o)
