Z - zorro

This week, we made foxes out of the letter z!  Similar to the giraffe project, all you need is a worksheet with a head and tail already on it.  I created this one on word, by using a drawing I found on google and erasing the body, then adding "zorro" on the top in grey font, so the students can trace it. I prepped the project by providing pre-stamped out letter z's the student could then just glue to the paper. Lastly, the students may color in their foxes and add arms and legs. Allow the students to have fun with this project. You might end up with a watermelon-eating fox! (see student work below)

What you need:
- worksheet with a fox head & tail and the word "zorro"
- orange construction paper
- letter z stamp (or you can cut out a bunch of Z's by hand)
- crayons
- gluesticks

Student Work

Monster Body Parts

For my first grade class learning about body parts, we made little monstruos and labeled the body parts.

Suggested Items:

- yarn

- pom poms (small and big)

- googly eyes

- feathers

- felt

- foam cut-out shapes

- stickers

- liquid glue

- construction paper

Directions:

- prepare several trays students can share of miscellaneous materials (pipe cleaners not suggested as they are hard to glue onto the paper)

- split students into groups and give a tray per table (this is a LOT easier than trying to hand out supplies to each individual student)

- let students create a monster by gluing materials onto their construction paper

- label the different body parts/describe the monster

- collect projects and set them out to dry
