Hanukkah Craft

Hanukkah: Create a Hanukkah craft during your Holidays Around the World Unit, Christmas Around the World Unit, or during Hanukkah with this 3D Hanukkah craft by Robin Sellers. This is my latest 3-D Craftivity.

This craft creates a 3-D Dreidel that has four sides. On each side the students will color, cut, and paste a Hanukkah symbol. 

The four symbols used are the Star of David, the Menorah, Gifts, and Coins.

 I have also included a low-ink poster for each symbol to use when discussing the meanings of the symbols.

You can find this craft at my teaching resource store {HERE}.

Columbus Day Activities: Classroom Columbus Lessons

It's almost Columbus Day. Are you ready? I'm ready to teach about Columbus Day in the classroom and I've created a few Columbus Day activities that I think you'll love.

I have some great Columbus Day activities for kids. This Columbus Day resource includes a Columbus Day math clip it activity, a Columbus Day craft, Columbus Day prompts, and Columbus Day coloring pages. Click on the image to learn more.

Kids love my clothespin activities. This clip it game lets students use clothespins to match the number to the Christopher Columbus images.

For older students, I've created this lesson that teaches students how to write a haiku. There are instructions for writing the haiku and they tie in with the four Columbus Day craftivities included in the pack. Click this Columbus Day Teaching Resource image to learn more.

I hope that one of these Columbus Day resources for kids is just what you need to teach about Columbus Day!

Thanks,
Robin

Johnny Appleseed Activities

Who doesn't love teaching about Johnny Appleseed in the classroom? You can cover social studies, science, math, and language arts all with Johnny Appleseed units. I wanted to share a few ideas that I use with Johnny Appleseed that are all in my new Johnny Appleseed Unit. This Johnny Appleseed unit is full of great activities and fall printables.

You can teach about Johnny Appleseed all fall while the apples are ready. Check out my apple craft. The kiddos color and cut out the stages of an apple tree, glue them to the apple patterns, and then create a foldable apple for a fall craft.

Then you can add in a little math and fine motor skills for Johnny Appleseed Day with this math clip it game. The students use their fine motor skills to clip clothespins on the correct number.

Plus, I love to write about Johnny Appleseed. I created these writing prompts so that the students can draw their response for pre-k or write their response for older students. I like prompts that are open ended where there is no wrong answer. It lets students become more creative writers.

Then, I added a few coloring pages. A is for Apple, but J is for Johnny Appleseed and W is for Wagon. I encourage students to have fun with these and use any colors that they would like to create Johnny's clothing. 

I'm selling this 20 plus page Fall Apples and Johnny Appleseed Unit at my TpT store {Here} and my TN store {Here}.
