Healthy Food Coloring Pages - Fruits and Vegetables
Health, P.E. & Health, Strategies, Reading, ELA, ESL, Language Development, Pre-Reading, Speech Therapy, Special Resources, Elementary, Pre-K, Homeschool Resources, Coloring Pages, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables, Projects, Activities
Healthy Food Coloring Pages - Apples, Blueberries, Pumpkin, Tomatoes, Broccoli, and more! These giant fruit and vegetable images with nice thick borders will be a joy to color for your students, regular education as well as SPED (special education). Since each page contains only one word on top of the page and one word (two max) at the bottom of each page, these pages can be helpful with speech therapy sessions as well. Coloring helps develop fine motor skills. Each fruit and vegetable page contains a small example on the top left-hand corner of the page to aid students with choosing the colors. There are 30 unique fruits and vegetables in this food coloring pages pack. They include: Fruits: Red - Apple Orange - Cantaloupe Blue - Blueberries Orange - Orange Purple - Blackberry Red - Raspberry Green - Avocado (Can be considered a vegetable also) Yellow - Banana Orange - Cantaloupe Red - Cherry Purple - Grapes Green - Kiwi Yellow - Lemon Green - Lime Orange - Peach Yellow - Pineapple Purple - Plum Vegetables: Purple - Cabbage Yellow - Squash (No border due to glitch with color of squash greying out). Orange - Pumpkin Red - Chili Pepper Orange - Sweet Potato Orange - Carrot Purple - Carrot Blue Purple - Asparagus Red - Tomato (Can be considered as a fruit as well). Red - Beet Green - Broccoli Yellow - Corn Yellow - Sweet Pepper These coloring pages can be used as task cards, either full size or you can shrink the size when you print. Students who are early readers or learning ESL (English as a Second Language) can benefit from the extra-large words on the pages. A single color and name of fruit/vegetable is on each page with matching borders (except for yellow squash which has no border). Students can sort the fruits from the vegetables. Students can alphabetize the pages. Students can color the pages (even older students enjoy coloring) as something to do with their hands and to keep their concentration while the teacher is teaching a lesson on food, health, or nutrition. All fruits and vegetables have matching borders except for yellow squash due to a glitch in the program I used to create it. 31 pages including cover sheet Downloadable printable pdf

Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities for Grade 8
Reading, ELA, Grade 8, Activities, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
During their final year of middle school, 8th graders engage in preparing for high school by refining and enhancing skills acquired in previous middle school years, while also acquiring new (and frequently more challenging) abilities. In numerous ways, 8th grade serves as a transitional year since students are anticipated to have mastered middle school skills and start evolving into “high-schoolers.” In particular, 8th graders are anticipated to be self-sufficient thinkers and doers, evaluating and articulating what they understand in both their written and spoken communication. In the 8th grade, students further develop various skills acquired in previous grades, particularly focusing on aspects such as text evidence, language, and comparisons across different genres of text. Nonetheless, 8th graders deepen their text analyses by exploring the details and writing structures while evaluating how these aspects influence the text. This ebook contains an in-depth guided reading lesson plan complete with activities, which takes around 90 minutes to complete. Proposed responses are also included.
