Which kid doesn’t love building and creating things?! My students cannot get enough of these Build it & Write activities!
⭐️⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My students absolutely loved writing with this resource. The graphics are cute, my students liked acting out the cut pieces before writing…they wrote soooo much more when using this resource. I also am grateful for the differentiation within this resource as I taught a first & second grade split class this year. Thank you!!!” -Nicole D.
To Use:
Simply print! NO PREP, independent work packet, so it’s perfect for centers, morning work, or at-home learning! Students pick the pieces they want to build the picture, color them, cut & paste them on, and write about it! They can also draw more details if they’d like.
2 versions included:
LEVEL I :
*picture word bank
*4 pieces
*dotted lines around most pieces for easier cutting
*sentence prompt to trace

*larger word bank
*more pieces
