For the rest of the month I am focusing on the one thing that gets me through: The beach. I can't wait for summer break to start so I can go there whenever I want! But until then, I'm dreaming of those days from work and creating fun, beachy activities for my students… articulation sand castles!
Grab some blue and tan construction paper…then some extra scraps for flags in any color you choose!
Aaaaaand rip and rip and rip! These are our fave ways to create a craftivity!
Glue the ripped paper on the blue!
Then add words and a flag! Easy, fun, and great for homework! Woot woot! 🙂 This activity also goes well There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Shell!!! Check out my other sandcastle post with that book HERE.

Love it, just prepped some pages from your Old Lady/She’ll book companion. Now I want to do this! Might do for categories or verbs for the language kids.
Sara says
Ooooh I LOVE the sand castle idea! PERFECT!!! 🙂 Thanks dear!!!!
Emily says
This is such a great idea! Cute, interactive, and a great way to practice! I don’t see many kiddos for artic. right now but am thinking of using the idea to write words within a specific category. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love this sandcastle idea. Another great book to do with sandcastles is “The Sandcastle Contest” by Robert Munsch. I love the old lady series but the kiddos are getting sick of her eating all of these crazy things. Thanks for the neat ideas.

I just saw this two years later and have been doing it ALL WEEK with all of my kiddos, regardless of their goals – I made it work for everyone! I love this idea!
Melissa says
Found this on Pinterest and used it with my kiddos several weeks ago during our beach theme!! So much fun! I even adapted it for my grammar kids!
