Lorax Bookmark - Freebie

By A Teachers Sidekick

This is a simple freebie bookmark themed around Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. There is a colored version and a black-and-white version if your students would like to color it. It comes with the quote from the book, "I am the Lorax, and I speak for the trees!".

I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.

Special Thanks to Plearn for supplying the Lorax Clip Art. Go check out Plearn’s Store!

Library Skills: Orientation Task Cards

By Amanda G

Task Cards for Library Orientation! Designed to enhance library skills, these engaging cards guide students through essential library functions.

36 Library Scavenger Hunt Task Cards

This pack includes 36 scavenger hunt cards and a printable answer sheet allowing students to record up to twelve answers.

This is a great way to introduce/remind students of the different parts of the library. You may also wish to do this as a challenge, having one student choose a card and find the book - record how long it took them, and make this the “time to beat” for following visits.

A simple but effective activity that gets students engaged in locating information within their library.

How to use:

* Print, laminate and cut each card.

* You have the option of having students write their answers on the printable (included), a mini whiteboard, having them physically bring the book to you OR if you have the technology, use tablets/smartphones and have students take pictures of their answers.

* A activity came be done as individuals, pairs or teams (no more than three is my recommendation)

Library Skills: Text Clues Task Cards

By Amanda G

This pack includes 24 scavenger hunt cards and a printable answer sheet allowing students to record up to twelve answers.

I designed this set with the library in mind but you can easily use this in your classroom.

The purpose of this scavenger hunt is to familiarize/support students in using text clues to determine the subject of a book.

How to use:

* Print, laminate and cut each card.. You will need a pile of picture books and a selection of nonfiction books. Make sure you have books that will answer each of the task cards, and some extras that don’t match any. You may also wish to select books that could meet the requirement of more than one task card.

What others are saying:

  • Thanks for providing these - students felt like detectives! (Leeann Denham's Library)
  • Great idea! Love your library ideas! (Keep 'em coming!) TY!!! (Sunshine Sprouts)
