Tema: Comida

Go ahead and let your students play with their comida! They can play with their paper bag puppets: una caja de cereal, un carton de leche, una botella de soda, una lata de sopa, un helado, pan, and un pescado. At least one puppet from each food group! And speaking of food groups, they will love creating their sandwich book. Each page features a different food group and space for them to write five food items from that group. We have included food word flash cards and a whole page of flash card fun and games!

Staple the reproducible hamburger cover to sheets of blank paper and cut out to create a shape writing book. Have the students write and illustrate a page each day they learn about a new food group. The class can discuss what makes for a balanced meal and then draw it on their reproducible paper plate.

Also included is a mini-storybook about eating well that the students can read themselves! If the text is too simple, cover it up and allow the students to create their own story to go with the pictures! Shape stationery includes a can of soda, box of cereal, bottle of juice and ice cream on a stick. 

Your students will beg you to let them count, add and subtract with their very own gum ball machines, complete with gum ball manipulatives.  When you are finished in the classroom, the students can take the gum ball machine home for more learning fun with the family!

There is so much more in this unit, such as graphs and mini-book covers! Two unit completion certificates are included: one to send home and one for display on the classroom "Wall of Fame."
