There are 3 main Spring-tastic Activities:
Vocabulary:
Introduce the vocabulary words with the real-life photo posters included relating to each section. You could post these posters around the classroom and have students travel around to match up and define the words in their flip flaps or use as a center activity. These posters are excellent for a bulletin board display too.
Reading:
Next, have students read the informational articles all about Spring. Have students complete the comprehension and connection questions, mystery flaps, organizer, and other activities. Go for a walk and complete the Spring Scavenger Hunt. Students could work with a partner, in small groups, or even as a center/station activity to read and complete the activities.
Hands-on Activities:
Have students complete the Flip-Up Booklet. Students can build the flip-up book page by page. I usually have them do one page at each center or station. They can use the articles as a reference source to help them complete the pages of the flip-up. Lastly, they cut, color, and assemble the booklet. Flip-up books can be glued or stapled inside their interactive notebooks, file folder, or a 12×18 piece of construction paper folded like a book cover.
