How to Make a Pop-Up Book

My kiddos love making books, and they flipped when I introduced them to the Pop-Up book! 

 We used one for rhyming that you can check out in the Three Little Pigs post!


 Here's how they are made: 


 1. Fold construction paper in 1/2. 

 2. Cut two slits about 1 1/2-2 inches apart on the folded edge of the paper. 

 3. Fold the flap in on itself. 

 4. Cut as many of these as you have pages in your book 

 5. Glue the pages back to back. 

 6. To create a cover, take one uncut piece of construction paper.

 7. Glue it to the first and last page of the pop up book. 

 8. You're ready to go!!

How would you use pop-up books in class?

Comments make me POP with joy!!

Three Little Pigs Unit-Part 1

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

Last week, my Kinders had a lot of fun with The Three Little Pigs!

Reading and Language Arts

1.  We read and watched different versions of the story and compared similarities and differences.  

Thanks to my teammate, Marsha, for sharing the links to online versions below!

             

             

This picture links to an online version that we read on our Promethean board.

This is an online version of the book from Kizclub.

This picture links to Speakaboos where my secret sweetheart, Anthony Bourdain, reads the book!

Speakaboos also has Judy Tenuta reading.  

Classic Three Little Pigs from 1933.

2.  We analyzed the different characters.  

The kiddos gave me words to describe the characters, and I wrote them on cards.  

The next day, I mixed them up and placed them next to the correct character.

3.  We followed pictorial directions to create a little pig of our own!

Check out those mismatched eyes!!

 I love how even though it was a following directions activity, their personalities come through!  

This is the template cut onto card stock.

Here are the directions.  

I used the Promethean board and showed one slide at a time.
