Mini Books (10 min)

While sitting at a table in a small group, students can make
their own mini book about the theme. Students can work on
sequencing the story, following directions to put the book
together, and labeling pictures in the book. There are two
examples of mini books included in each section.

Table Activities (10 min)

While sitting at a table in a small group, students can
complete worksheets related to the theme. Teachers might
also have worksheets that relate to the theme. Collaborate
with the teacher to find out what kind of materials he/she
has, and work with the students in small groups to complete
the worksheets. Use language scaffolding as appropriate.
Hone in on specific communication goals by working
together and then target individual students’ goals while the
others are finishing minor tasks. Allow students who have
mastered a task to demonstrate to friends how to follow
instructions or complete a task. There are two examples of
table activities included in each section.

Crafts (15 min)

Crafts are great for students who benefit from hands-on
activities. Gather the materials listed at the beginning of
each session and make the minimal preparations. Empower
and challenge students by having them set up for the
activity. Explain what they will be doing, show an example,
and them ask for helpers to gather crayons, paper, glue,
etc. Increase the level of difficulty by including numbers, an
order, or descriptions of the materials. This activity is great
for requesting materials, following directions, sequencing,
and discussing what they did using past tense verbs.

Ask the initial helpers to gather and return the materials.
Have each student stand, present his work, say something
about it, and carry it to their backpack, folder, or cubbie.
