Winter Clothing File Folder Freebie



I have another file folder I put together this past week for you guys! This one is for non-identical winter clothing matching and again, you can use this as an opportunity to work on FFC, expressive/receptive labels, and even wh questions. I am also linking you to the file folder for the book The Jacket I Wear In The Snow from Making Learning Fun which has all the clothing items and their respective "shadows". We've been reading the book and one of my students immediately recognized the file folder pieces and associated it with the book - very cool! He said, "It's just like the book!". My heart melted like a snowman in the sun...

Winter File Folder Freebie! (Non-Identical and Identical Matching)

 

Brrr the polar vortex has us all thankful for some time off this week at my school! In the spirit of the weather, I have two freebies for download to use with your students. One is a non-identical matching activity and the other is an identical matching activity. Although you shouldn't use the same file folder during multiple instruction sessions for matching (since the students will be able to memorize the placement of the materials rather than learning the matching skill), it is still nice to have it on hand for independent work tasks and can be a useful tool for teaching tacts for winter items. You can also use some FFC training with this! (ex. "Find the one you drink" or "Which ones do you wear?")

All you need is the coveted laminator and some velcro. Just print the identical matching pages twice :) I should also mention that I made the "non-identical" activity and my awesome co-worker made the "identical" one. Teamwork, woot!

Hot Chocolate Weather!

The past two days have been SNOW DAYS for us! So I drank about 15 mugs of hot chocolate (glorious) and decided our Friday cooking activity this week should be hot chocolate! I mean, the drink is so amazing that a song was made about it (don't you love Tom Hanks?).

 

In today's download, I give you not only a visual recipe (with ingredients needed and the steps for the cooking activity) but ALSO a skill building curriculum sheet that gives you ideas to make the activity meaningful. That way you can simultaneously run language programs AND make warm chocolatey memories (that's what my hot chocolate packets say. which is weird. but whatever.). Enjoy :)
