Instructional Ideas

• After they're done cutting and pasting the school-related items, ask learners to point to each image and tell you what it is
• Have kids use these images to tell their own stories; they can cut them out and paste them in the order they choose, and narrate or compose short stories to go along with their images

Classroom Considerations

• See the materials for five additional school-themed cut-and-paste activity pages; make sure to check that the files are set to fit to page when you print so that you don't cut anything off

Pros

• The images are in full color
• Each picture is surrounded by a dotted line to help guide kids through the cutting process

Cons

• None
