Earth Day Activity for K-3 students in English and French.

Making these fun and simple no prep headbands are always a HIT with the littles. A quick no prep activity is just what every teacher needs. Copy, cut and paste. Students can wear these all day on Earth Day or build their activity badges and complete them at the end of Earth Week!

How to use this:

Set it out as a self-guided activity with materials, pencils, glue sticks, and scissors for students to use.

Create the headbands as a whole class activity and watch as students help each other measure the headbands together.

Teacher assisted for the littles, and you can easily cut and glue (or staple if that is easier).

Directions:

-Colour the earth and one set of the activity badges

-attach black line versions of the badges two to each side of each piece of the band

-colour a badge as students earn the badges by completing the Earth Day activity: recycle plastic, turn off lights, composting, and putting things in the recycle bin

-with all badges coloured in, students can mount them on their headband and complete the Earth Day band

What grade level is appropriate?

I personally feel that this resource is ideal for any students from K-2 although those in Grade 3 may love these headbands too!

This unit study is at the level of your middle schoolers - in Core French (FSL) - both for content and maturity. I was finding materials that matched their comprehension were babyish and they'd be disengaged and frustrated! My material is engaging, animated, not babyish but at their (beginner!) level.

These slides and activities will easily get you through roughly 5 or 6 Core French classes at the 4th - 8th grade age.

This 32 page document provides you with:

• 16 'teaching' slides:

• These will prompt discussions with your students and teach them step-by-step how to make a birthday card (en Français). Students are prompted to answer the questions: "Quel âge as-tu?" "Quelle est la date de ton anniversaire?" and "En quelle saison est ton anniversaire?"

• A message du matin is provided with prompts to find les "mots amis," les "mots familiers," and les "lettres fantômes!" I push this a step further with les 8 étapes a l'oral by then getting the students to say their own age, one another's age and then I assess their oral language as they work in partners.

• Within the slides, you can edit to add your students' information for their birthdays and the seasons in which they have birthdays!

• An oral activity for your students to guess YOUR birthday ("L'anniversaire de mon enseignant") (I usually give a prize to the winner and then everyone wants in on this fun activity)

• 12 pages of printable activities that follow this same theme, like:

• Linking images to words,

• Writing the numbers for written numbers (and vice versa),

• Drawing candles on cakes,

• Counting en Français,

• Expressions like: "J'ai ___ ans," and "Mon anniversaire est ____," and "Son anniversaire est ____," etc.

• A birthday calendar for the students,

• A kinesthetic fill-in-the-blank activity,

• A cut-out/decorate cube for asking questions to a partner.

• A Google Doodle activity,

• A family age/birthday diagram.

• Etc.

• Cover page + Credits + Video Links & Lyrics.

Do you teach a foreign language to your students? This packet contains two center activities that help teach colors in English, Spanish and French! It is differentiated so that students who need more help can use the colored word cards and those who are more advanced can use the black and white cards. The first center activity, the students match the color name to the color splat on the color mats. There are color mats available in English, Spanish and French with word cards available with each color. Use Velcro on the word cards and the blank spaces to allow the word cards to stay in place. The second center activity is a matching/memory game where students pair the colored splat card with the correct color word. This center is also available in English, Spanish and French. Pages 3-4: American English color charts Pages 5-6: English word cards in black and white Pages 7-8: English word cards in color Pages 9-10: British English color charts Pages 11-12: Spanish color charts Pages 13-14: Spanish word cards in black and white Pages 15-16: Spanish word cards in color Pages 17-18: French color charts Pages 19-20: French word cards in black and white Pages 21-22: French word cards in color Page 23: Color cards for matching/concentration game Pages 24-25 English word cards in black and white Pages 26-27 English word cards in color Page 28: Spanish word cards in black and white Page 29: Spanish word cards in color Page 30: French word cards in black and white Page 31: French word cards in color

Product includes: 

• Black and White presentation page with weather, pictures and I can statements.
• Journal page to help students write their name, the day, and the date.
• Journal page to help students write day, date, and weather.
• Journal pages include vocabulary lists. Once students know how to fill it out, they can work independently early on.
• 8 weather terms on the presentation page

• Differentiated Learning: Suitable for learners of different proficiency levels, with options for scaffolded or extension activities.
• Printable and Digital Formats: Accessible in Google Slides. Google slides can be downloaded as images to be used as digital worksheets or downloaded as a PDF. 

How to Use:

Bell Ringers - Daily Journals for French class.

1. Day 1:  Show them the presentation and model for them.

2. Day 2: 

3. Print, copy, and have them ready for students as they walk in.

4. Saving on paper? Copy machine never works? Download the slide as a png and have students write on them on a touchscreen device or their own papers. My students use the app Chrome Canvas on their Chromebooks. I loan styluses to students during class. They aren’t too expensive. Some students just write with their fingers.

5. Day 2:

6. The Calendar Talk - Daily Journal Writing is designed to help students start reading and writing immediately to discuss the day, date,  and weather. Students can also begin speaking in the same class period with some guidance. Depending in the class, in the first few days, students write independently but you answer the questions out loud so they can hear pronunciation until they feel more confident to read their answers.

7. Days 3-5: Continue discussing responses after the journal each day. This will help them with writing and speaking.

8. Days 6 and on (or when you know they are ready): When used consistently, students will be able to speak with the phrases very quickly. Have them sit in groups and discuss their journals as you walk around the room. I often keep track of points on Class Dojo and give them a goal to shoot for.

9. Scaffold so that students will be able to talk without the journal eventually. You will be surprised at how quickly they are able to use the words and phrases on their own.

10. Use the words and phrases that they have learned in other activities.

11. Add the questions and answers to write stories as a class or individually. I tell students to include the day, date, weather, etc in all of their stories.

12. Ask students what another student said work on other perspectives, i.e. I, you, he, she, etc. 

13. Student A: C’est mercredi.

14. Student B: Elle dit, «C’est mercredi.»

Whether you teach Spanish, French, German, or Mandarin Chinese, this is the perfect lesson to get your students thinking about the purpose of studying foreign languages!

This product features an engaging "Language Talk" activity that will have your new students thinking, writing, speaking, and moving on the very first day of school. In this activity, they must choose between 6 different quotes about the purpose of learning languages and articulate why the quote aligns with their perspective. I use this lesson every year to set the tone for what I expect in class - it is a great way to gain insight about their current attitudes towards speaking another language while they get to know one another with a higher level thinking activity as opposed to the same-old, same-old icebreaker.

Product includes:

• Comprehensive Lesson Plan
• "Language" Sheet for students to fill out
• 6 Corresponding "Language Quote" signs to hang up around your room

French Jour du Souvenir Pyramid Cards - Reading Task Cards

Improve reading fluency, build student confidence in decoding skills, set a path to self-guided learning, and engage students in fun Remembrance Day themed reading fun!

These NO PREP, easy to read decoding task cards are ideal for the K-3 classroom in French immersion, Core French, or Modern Language setting. Aligns perfectly with the Science of Reading and can supplement any reading program. Foster a passion for French language acquisition with materials that engage and ignite a love of learning in your students.

Pyramid Reading Fluency Cards Remembrance Day/Jour du Souvenir

These pyramid readers are a favourite of mine in the classroom! They are easy to print and insert into clear folder so students can be independent in minutes. These cards are great for making a quick learning centre, a great way to check reading fluency on the fly, or to do a deep dive with those that need the one-on-one attention.

What to do:

I make 4 copies of a few cards for centre activities, a few sets for a clear folder binder for ‘shoulder to shoulder, knee to knee partner reading, and a set of cards for a quick quiet reading session if we are getting too silly in class.

Once my students became independent with these reading cards, I made smaller versions and put them on a ring so students can quickly grab them when doing silent reading, editing their writing, or gathering ideas for a journal entry.

Science of Reading:

These cards coincide seamlessly with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Vocabulary included:

Le soldat place la couronne ronde.

Le coquelicot est rouge et noir.

Le garçon porte la couronne pour la classe.

La colombe est une signe de la paix.

La combattante travaille dans un hôpital médicale.

Le chien travaille sur le champ de bataille.

Le cheval aide les soldats depuis cent ans.

Le soldat joue le clairon à 11 heures.

I would love to know how you are using this product in your classroom. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have anything to say about this resource. I love helping teachers as much as I can. A product review also is a great way of letting me know, and leaving a review earns you extra credit for more amazing TeachShare products!

Here's what a few teachers are saying about resources in my store:

Jennifer H. stated: ***** Extremely satisfied

My board has moved toward a strong literacy/phonics focus in Gr. 1/2. This resource was great because it fit in so perfectly with what students had experienced in English and what I needed to teacher. Loved it.

Julie G. said:

***** Extremely satisfied

This has been a fun way for students to review their letters. I love that each page gives students an opportunity to write the letter, find the letter and find the sounds. Merci!

How we use this in class:

I like to set up a variety of centres in my classroom once we are able to consolidate our learning. With concepts from the Science of Reading, we have looked at all the sounds present in the pyramid reading cards. I make copies of the cards and insert into plastic pocket pages that I keep in a binder. I place reading cards into the binder so they face both directions so students can sit across from each other. The students now know that they read each card that is in front of them, wait and listen while their partner reads, and then turn the page. Once they have read them all, they turn the binder and read all the alternate stories that their partner read. My students LOVE this activity and it builds their confidence for when they come to visit me at our small group table and we do our activities around these same sentences.

Effective ways for multiple uses of this resource:

I like to create resources that I can use in many different ways in my classroom. This one resource gets added to my centres:

-whole group reading

-small group reading

-partner reading

-quiet reading

-small group decoding and encoding

-find the sound activity

-writing prompt

-journal writing

-draw the story and label

-close sentences

-build a story from a sentence

Who can use this resource:

Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple texts to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.

Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in reading and confidence in reading strategies.

Texts are designed to build a number of common French sounds and get more challenging as they go on.

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

Science of Reading:

These texts are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven passages on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!
