There are 12 Landform Foldable Booklets with questions and scenes about each landform for students to read, answer questions, cut, paste, and color.

These Foldable Booklets fit perfectly inside their interactive notebooks and provide a tool for students to come back to review at any time.

In addition, there are also 12 Landform Posters with brief info and a real-life photo so students can visualize and connect to the information. These Landform Posters can be placed in at centers, learning station, or for a bulletin board display.

Teacher Notes:
Read. Connect. Create.
Prep Work: Copy the 12 Landform Foldable Booklets (2 pages) back to back so that the questions are on the inside of the booklet and the passage is on the outside cover of the booklet. **See the directions and product sample pictures for examples.

Landforms Foldable Booklets:
Create a learning station about each of the 12 landforms included in this unit. Be sure to put the foldable booklets and landform photo poster at each station or center.

Each passage gives a definition of the landform and an example of one so students can form a connection to the information. You could have the students work in pairs or group work.

The Landform Foldable Booklets have four questions for students to answer. There is also a related landform scene for students to color also. They can use the Landforms Posters with real-life photos to help them visualize and connect to the information.

Follow the directions included to fold their landform booklets correctly. As a class have them share their answers. These booklets fit perfectly inside an interactive notebook so students can refer back to them at any time.

✔ Depending on the time allotted and age of your students, 12 landforms might be too many. In that case, you could have each student learn about 3, 4, or 6 of the landforms and teach each other about the other ones.

✔ For Elementary Grades – Second grade, Third grade, Fourth grade, Fifth grade

⭐ This product is similar to my Geography Activities Pack with 12 Major Landforms except that passages are shorter and are made to fit on the Landforms Foldable Booklets specifically to fit inside their interactive notebooks. This pack doesn’t include a flip book.

Make a Recipe Book: A Fun Project

Your students will love making this Class Recipe Book Project! Everything you need for this fun project is in here! It includes recipe templates, several front covers designs, parent letter, and teacher directions.

A few years ago, I tried it out, and it turned out so well, that I decided to make copies of the recipe book for each student in the class and send them home as a special gift. The parents loved them!

For the front cover, there are several options included in this pack, OR you can get a picture of each student with a white chef’s hat, apron and some simple cooking utensils like a wooden spoon and bowl. You can find an inexpensive paper chef’s hat and apron at Party City.

To bind it: Print out the front cover, laminate the front and back covers, and bind it like a real recipe book. There are several options included in color and BW for the front cover. Or use one of them as a dedication page.

Steps:
Discuss culture, heritage, and traditions with the class to build prior knowledge. Bring up the importance of special meals related to our culture or just our favorite meals at special times or holidays during the year. Have students share their favorite meal with classmates.
Send home the “Dear Parent” letters and recipe template.
Many parents just sent a copy of their actual recipe instead of having their child complete the template, so I decided to have all the students rewrite their recipe in the template. If they did write the first one out, I checked it over for grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes and considered it their rough drafts.
I reminded the students that this has to be written in their very best handwriting because it’s a gift for our parents.
For older students, you could have them type it up and even prepare a template in Word for them to use, so they all look uniform.
Make sure they complete the part about why it’s important to their family.
Take students through the writing process as needed. Conference with them to add more details, check spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
Be sure to include the teacher’s favorite recipe as well.
Make copies of all the recipes and dedication page for the entire class.
Optional: Take a picture of each student wearing a chef’s hat and apron and holding a kitchen utensil.
Change each picture to Black and White unless you plan to print them in color.
Print out the front cover included in this pack OR use each student’s picture for the cover.
Laminate the front covers and a piece of cardstock for the back cover.
Use a binding machine to bind all the recipe books. Office Max and Office Depot will also bind them for a small fee for each book.
Show students the finished product. Let them look at them. Praise their hard work!
Don’t forget to add one to the class library!

Happy Cooking!
