Looking for supportive approaches for your kinesthetic students? Need a hand's on approach for your written projects? WELCOME!
GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS "FOLDABLES"

My #1 read article of-all-time,

is this post from the time I presented at the TN- IRA conference!

It turns out that teachers are crazy-WILD about foldables!!

Guess where I just presented? Another IRA event!!! 

This time I gave workshops for the state of Illinois -- IRC.

GUESS WHAT I FOUND??
JUST FOR YOU!! 
New ideas!!! 

Graphic Organizer 'foldable' examples from Dinah Zike

I went prowling the exhibit hall in search of the Dinah Zike booth.
This woman is obviously the QUEEN of da foldables. 

Here's her website -- where you can learn her approach 
and see her products in detail! 
Some day I'll meet this woman in person.  

I just know all of these images are going to re-charge your battery.
Be certain that you go to her website to learn her approach to this kinesthetic learning opportunity.

LUV me some Onomatopoeia!!!!!
I promised to keep my eyes wide open on your behalf....
and I LUV to be able to deliver on a promise!

These next two remind me of little foldables we used to make when I was in elementary.

They had flaps that you lifted.

We called them fortune tellers and Cootie-catchers.

Now taken from the playground to the classroom!!

I'd be grateful if you'd 'pin' your favorite idea.

I think Dinah would be grateful for the traffic we'll send her as well.

I only get credit for photographing + sharing her ideas.
Now you put your 'spin' on these concepts in your classroom!

Student Reports as Foldables

Here's a peek at my concluding workshop.

I had extra helping hands to catch my enthusiastic participants in action!!

Here's my 'photographer' that captured those participants!!!

It's Carie-the-Kindergarten teacher!!!

Carie was a help in every way. 

She's the amazing dynamo who served 9 years in the Army, 

prior to taking over the reigns in kindergarten. 

She's the one who created the amazing collaborative quilt in response to my picture book, "Red, White and Blue."  

You really need to treat yourself to the series of articles I wrote last year, after meeting Carie.

Here's a snippet of the quilt her K-kiddos created.

I've done some window shopping and have gathered up a LOT of foldable and graphic organizer resources for you. ENJOY!
