Here's a great idea I spotted on Pinterest.... I tried this lesson with my middle school students and they had so much fun with it! I originally used a copy machine to enlarge students' fingerprints. It was cumbersome and time-consuming. But then I figured out a faster, easier, and better way! For detailed instructions with photos, tips, writing prompts, a student gallery, and fascinating fingerprint facts, check out my fun resource on TPT! My pdf also comes with 3 ready-to-use fingerprint enlargements in case you don't have time to take students' actual fingerprints. This can also be helpful for students who arrive late or miss the first day when you work on these. Optional... use colored pencils to lightly add some designs in the background before tracing over your writing with Sharpie. This will personalize your self-portrait even more!

We love these 100th Day ideas we found over at Growing Kinders! During their celebration, Kathleen had her students rotate between five different centers; 100th Day Party Hats Photo Source: Growing Kinders Photo Source: Growing Kinders A party isn't a party without a party hat! A great activity to reinforce counting by 10s, students are provided with the assembled construction paper hats as well as stickers or stamps and invited to decorate/stamp each strip on the hat with 10 stickers or stamps. After the hats are decorated, students can wear them! Here's a freebie for creating your own hats! The file is sized to be printed onto blank index cards. Party Necklaces Photo Source: Growing Kinders Photo Source: Growing Kinders Another great exercise for reinforcing counting by 10s, students first count out 100 beads then string them onto a piece of ribbon or yarn, creating a necklace to wear! Oh, and we love the use of egg cartons for sorting! Counting 100 Legos Photo Source: Growing Kinders Photo Source: Growing Kinders More counting by 10s! Provided with a tub of Lego bricks and a counting mat, have students count out 100 bricks, in groups of 10, and use them to build a sculpture. If students finish building their sculpture before it's time to switch centers, have them draw a picture of it. Here are some freebies to go with this center! 100 Dots Photo Source: Growing Kinders Photo Source: Growing Kinders Catching a theme? Here's another counting by 10s exercise! Students are provided with a starburst counting mat and paint daubers and invited to place 10 dots in each section.

Here is the link to the product from the last three blog posts related to the Birthday unit/How old are you ?. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/How-old-are-you-Birthday-Unit-5197521 Watch the video of the product: The resource is also available here: https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/birthday-unit-how-old-are-you-for-elementary-esl?variant=37622114222244 Review the months of the year using the cards. Review with your students: How many days in each month ? I see that some book’s scope and sequence have the structure using only the birthday month. Have a student come to the front and pick the card of the month of their birthday. Teacher: When’s your birthday? Student: June. Teacher: It’s in June. (Stress the word IN and write it on the board. Grab the month card of June and place it next to the word in) Graph the birthday months of your class. Place the months of the year around your classroom. Have the students look for the Month of their Birthday and stand there. Teacher: This is January. How many students have their birthday in January? Students: one! Continue with all the months. Depending on the level of your students and the scope and sequence of your book, continue introducing the birthday date. But first, review all the ordinal numbers using the cards. I prepared a worksheet for the students to notice the difference in writing the ordinal numbers. Have the students match the ordinal number cards and the words cards as a review. Then, let’s move on to the birthday date. Place the month and date of your birthday on the board and model for the class. Write the word ON. Teacher: My birthday is on August 29th. Have the students find their birthday month cards and say their sentence to the class. Have the students write their birthdate on a piece of paper. As you place the month cards around the classroom. At your signal have the students stand up and look for their birth month and stand there. Hand them their birthday ordinal number. Calendar. I am adding a perpetual calendar template . I can customize the headings to adjust to the country you are at, send me an email: [email protected]) Students can help create the calendar, just glue the proper heading and have the students research the days and complete the template. Ask questions: Teacher: When is Sara’s birthday? Students: It on October 20th. Students write their name in the birthday date box. More flashcards. I thought that extra practice is required for this structure. I made some children flashcards with birthdates. Teacher: When is his birthday? Students: It’s on June 28th. Here is the complete set. Worksheets! Worksheet 1 Questionnaire. Students walk around the classroom asking the questions and writing the answers. Then, they cut and glue the worksheet on their notebooks and write sentences about the results of the questionnaire. Worksheet 2. Dictate how to color each month as a listening exercise. Teacher: Color June pink! Have the students trace the date you say. Teacher: April 11th! Students complete their worksheet. Then, have the students cut each box and write a sentence. Worksheet 3. Make a calendar. Each worksheet has an empty space for the month. Students cut the month of their birthday and glue onto the empty space. They also write the days of the month and their name on their birthdate. Finally, complete the sentences. You can do a show and tell to the class. Worksheet 4. The same as the other worksheet, dictate the color of each month or even better, have an individual student dictate the color of each month. Then, students write sentences using his or her birthday. Worksheet 5. There are Birthdays in the family!Students cut out and glue all the family members and write their corresponding birthdays on their notebooks. I made an extra set of Family Birthday flashcards to review. Worksheet 6. Ordinal Numbers Bingo. Students write any of the 31 ordinal numbers on the 9 squares. Use the Ordinal numbers cards to call BINGO! Worksheet 7. More Family review. Students draw or cut out pictures of their family members and complete the worksheet.
