I hope everyone had a great weekend! Today I'm going to share a project that my class finished recently. We call it our long vowel scrapbooks. The children are very proud of their work! Here are the directions:
To prepare: gather as many brightly colored magazines that you can. The more, the merrier! I have my students at four tables and I put an assortment of magazines at each table. You also will need construction paper, pencils, markers, scissors and glue for each child.
1. Have the children take five pieces of contruction paper.
2. Have them write one different vowel on the top of each page (if you want to do this part yourself in advance you can.)
3. Pick a vowel page that you would like to work on that day. For example, we began with long "a".
4. The students now need to find at least five pictures in the magazines that have long "a" in them. They do not need to begin with "a", simply have a long "a" sound in the name. For example- a picture of a face or a cake or a rake.
5. Children cut out their five pictures and glue them on their "a" page.
6. After they are finished glueing, they write first in pencil and label each picture.
7. Then the teacher checks for correct spelling and the child goes over the word in marker.
8. Repeat for all five vowels.
9. Once the vowel pages are complete, kids make a cover saying "Long Vowel Scrapbook by ____" and decorate it however they like.
My students have enjoyed this project year after year. I hope yours do too! Thank you for visiting! Check back soon!!
