Below is my newest file. I try to make things fun while still making sure we are working on our Common Core skills. Last year we filled out applications to be elves and hung them around the room. I really loved the activity but realized I did not so much like the application I had found. So, I created one that is a little more age appropriate for my third graders. They will fill out the application and then write an opinion letter stating why they feel they would make good elves for Santa's workshop. When we finish we turn the letter/application into the body of the elf and add a head, arms, and legs. (Pictures to come after they are done.)

Happy December Everyone!! 

Discovery learning, Independent research, Challenging extension! All this with an A- Z Book of Learning.

The A-Z Book of Learning is a great way to extend a lesson. It is also a great way to challenge early finishers or you can assign this as a team project for the whole class. Students research a topic by looking for words that start with each letter of the alphabet and relate to the topic. Through written expression they tell what each word means, how it relates to the topic, and its importance. Then they show a picture of the word by drawing or printing it off of the computer. Some words will be easy but some will require deep research which is where the discovery learning comes in. Watch your students independence grow as well as their knowledge of a topic while having fun and being creative! Click on the link below to find the A-Z Book on TPT.
