Measurement: Using the jumping idea above, have the students use a tape measure to measure how many inches they jumped. Have other students use their candles to see how far they jumped. Make a starting line on the floor with masking tape, and have them jump and mark it with masking tape. You could also have them take turns seeing how "nimble" they are by seeing how far they could jump. Provide them with a response sheet to write their answers on. Have them cut them out and use them to measure specified objects in the classroom. Nonstandard Measurement: Provide each student with a construction paper page full of taper candles. You also need to vary the number of candles you cut out for each color. If you’re working on the numbers 1 – 5, then each color should have no more than 5 candles. How many candles you cut out of each color depends on the numbers you’re working on. Graphing Activity: Using the Ellison machine, cut out candles from assorted colors of construction paper. Note: This is not the way the creators of the TLC materials designed them to be used. For my students, I always provide a finished piece for them to look at, and do another piece with them to show them how it’s done. This picture is the one she did for a model. My TA cut out all the pieces for the students and we did a following directions activity by having them put the pieces together to form Jack. When we did this project I had not gotten my TLC book yet. Jack Be Nimble: This is a picture of a knock-off TLC Jack Be Nimble. Insert a toothpick in the cherry and push the other end through the top of the banana to create the “flame”. Set the half of a banana in the hole of the pineapple vertically to create the “candle”. Place the pineapple ring on a small paper plate. Once everyone’s jumped the shortest candle, graduate to the next larger size and repeat the procedure. Have your students each take a turn jumping over the candlestick while reciting this rhyme: Set up the candlestick and the shortest candle. Gross Motor Activity: You’ll need a candlestick and graduating sizes of candles for this activity. After everyone’s had their turn, they can do it again while the class inserts the jumper’s name into the rhyme in place of Jack’s. The students take turns jumping over their candlestick while the rest of the class recites the rhyme. Stuff the center down into the top of the “candle”. Once the filters are dry, pick them up and pinpoint the center of the filter. Keep adding water to the filters until the colors all bleed together. Putting them on brown paper grocery bags or newspaper would be a good idea. This will make a mess as the marker will bleed through to whatever it’s laying on. When they’re finished coloring the filter, either spray the filter with water or sprinkle water on them with your hand. They don’t have to color in the whole filter just add enough color so that when it’s sprayed with water the colors will bleed together. Warn them that if they color too much in one spot it will create a hole in the filter. Have your students use the washable markers to add color to the coffee filters. Write each student’s name on the bottom of the paper plate and hot glue the toilet paper roll to the middle of the paper plate to where it’s standing up vertically. Have the students paint the outside of the toilet paper roll white. You’ll also need a white paper plate and a coffee filter for each student, along with white paint, yellow, red, and orange washable markers, and a water source. Reread the rhyme with each student’s name.Īrt Project: Collect enough empty toilet tissue rolls so that each student will have one. Have a second set of words so that students can match the words to the text.Īfter the students are very familiar with the rhyme, print each student’s name on a (3) 3x5 index cards and insert their name over Jack’s in the rhyme. Be sure to use a pointer and track as you go. Pocketchart Activties: After introducing the nursery rhyme and going over it several times, read it in a pocketchart.
