Learning With Owies!

It’s that time of year to haul out the Band-Aide box as children are coming in from the playground with scraped knees and elbows and a variety of other boo-boo’s.

It’s also a nice time to review all of the letters of the alphabet to make sure your students are retaining what you’ve taught them.

What better way to do that than with Band-Aides!

I made a boo-boo alphabet, using that “must-have” first aid equipment that a teacher simply can’t be without, and decided to turn the letters into an alphabet booklet that would reinforce parts of the body, which is a Y5 report card standard.

I had to get a little creative with some of the letters, but I think you’ll find this unique ABC book interesting and fun.

Simply make one for yourself as a teacher’s copy, and read it to your students or use them as flashcards, or print off copies for your entire class and use as a whole group writing/reading center.

It’s also a fun activity to send home for the summer.

A great companion to this is My Owie booklet.

Students cut and glue the matching numbered pictures to the correct boxes in their booklet.

This is a nice way to review parts of the body.

It's also a cute booklet to send home with a child who has gotten hurt on the playground.

Also includes:

• A graphing extension
• 3 skill sheets
• Dr. Simon Says Game
• 2 songs to review body parts
• 9 word-wall word flashcards with 7 picture cards and a cover-card to make an Itty Bitty booklet
• An Accident Report-form letter to send home to parents +
• An art Band-Aide activity to make, to use as a manipulative to use with the songs and game to learn/review parts of the body.

Thanks for visiting.  Do try and pop in tomorrow for more ideas and tips.  How do you handle boo-boo's when they happen in your class?  I'd enjoy hearing from you! diane@teachwithme.com or feel free to post a comment here. Thanks in advance for making the time to do that.

PIN away if there's anything you feel might excite parents or teachers as well.  I think sharing is so important!
