Johnny Applessed

Janelle and I are starting Johnny Appleseed for the fiction genre next week. We are excited to be making a lapbook for the theme of Johnny Appleseed. We are starting with an acrostic poem. We will also create a tree for the lapbook. While we are reading the book, each time the kids read the word apple they will place a red fingerprint on the tree with paint. They will complete a coloring page for the front of the lapbook, a picture search (like in the Highlight Magazines), A small booklet telling Johnny's story. I will attach those items soon.

 I have added the pictures I did for the lapbook but I can't figure out how to turn them around. Sorry.

 
 

Amelia Bedelia Lapbook

Amelia Bedelia Lapbook Ideas. 

We are studying characters this week. We are reading Amelia Bedelia Under Construction and Teach Us! Amelia Bedelia. We will make a lapbook using these worksheets (cut of course). I will cut the idioms up and the students will choose two to explain and illustrate. The picture booklet will be cut in a circle and then have three pages placed behnd it (stapled). The kids will write three different things that Amelia did in the book to explain her character. We will also do a homophone lapbook with construction paper. They will choose two sets of homophones - the examples are board and bored; stake and steak. On the outside flap, they will write the two sets of words and illustrate on the inside flaps. The bubble map will be used to describe Amelia Bedelia. All of this will be glued into the lapbook. The students will decorate the front with their favorite scene from the book.
