"Fall Into Reading" Portfolio



Materials List

Crayola® Markers
Aleene's "Tacky" Glue®
Construction Paper
Container of Water
School Folder

Real Leaves - fresh, not dried out ( we used silk- lasts longer)
Foam Paint Brush one per paint color works best
Flat Paper Stickers of Choice fall themed
Felt
Scissors
Pencil
FolkArt® Acrylic Paint - Pure Orange
FolkArt® Acrylic Paint - Yellow Light
FolkArt® Acrylic Paint - Soft Apple

Trim a piece of construction paper to the size of the folder.

Teachers, using a pencil, help write "Fall into Reading" on the construction paper and then go over it with markers.

Using a foam paint brush, place a pea-sized amount of paint on the back of a leaf.

Make a print of the leaf by pressing it painted side down onto the construction paper. Repeat as desired.

Decorate any remaining space with stickers. Or cut fall-themed shapes out of the felt and glue onto the paper. ***Tip: Use bigger embellishments first then fill in with the smaller ones.

Glue the entire finished piece to the cover of the folder.

Checklist Placemat

Table your constant stream of morning reminders with this clever place mat, which allows kids to take responsibility for their own must-dos.

Be sure to check out more ideas to help you navigate the busy back-to-school season. CRAFT MATERIALS:
Decorative paper
Scissors
Glue stick
18- by 12-inch sheet of poster board
Markers
Clear Con-Tact paper (or have it laminated at a copy shop)
Nontoxic dry-erase marker
Adhesive-backed Velcro dot

Time needed: Under 1 Hour
1. Cut three 6- by 12-inch rectangles from decorative paper. Use a glue stick to affix them side by side onto the poster board.

2. Write a "Do at Home" checklist on the left rectangle and a "Take to School" checklist on the right one (leave a few blank spaces at the bottom of each list for write-in reminders).

3. Have the place mat laminated at a copy shop or cover it with clear Con-Tact paper. Your child can use a nontoxic dry-erase marker to check off items or write additional reminders. Affix an adhesive-backed Velcro dot to keep the marker in a handy spot on the mat.
