The Months – Painting and Dots with First Language Lessons

We have been having more fun with our First Language Lessons enrichment activities!!!
I hope you have too!
Today is a fun (not too messy) paining project for “The Months” poem. Your kids will have a blast dotting their papers for each of of the different number of days in a month. This poem is introduced in lesson 43, but I would do this activity around lesson 50… before lesson 57 when you do the cumulative poem review.

Lesson 43: The Months activity

(materials – printable on white paper, pencil, one piece colored construction paper, 3-5 Q-tips, 3-5 colors of tempura paint, glue stick.)

Younger children

1. Print The Months copy work printable on white paper.
2. Trace the poem.
3. Dip the Q-tips into the paint and make 31 dots in one color, 30 dots in another color, and 29 dots in a third color.

Older children

1. Print The Months copy work printable on white paper.
2. Write one word of the poem in each day box on the calendar. (Note: Poetry lines won’t line up properly with the poem.)
3. Dip the Q-tips into the paint and make 31 dots in one color, 30 dots in another color, and 29 dots in a third color.
