Fingerprint Stories

We just finished up our Daily Activities unit in Basic English and I had my students do a fun project that I wanted to share with you all! The unit focused on vocabulary words that describe their daily routine such as “take a shower” or “eat lunch.” My students also practiced using sequence words such as “first, second, third,” or “first, next, then,” in order to put those daily routine words in an order to describe their mornings, afternoons, or evenings. So I gave them the assignment to write their own short story using their new vocabulary words and grammar skills, and then they had to illustrate it using fingerprint characters! Some of them turned out super cute and I was very proud of their creativity. Here are some of their finished products (I picked the cream of the crop):

Cute and creative? I think so! This week be praying for my health. I am feeling a little under the weather but am fighting it with all that I have. I really REALLY don't want to have a cold out here, especially because I don't have my delightful mother to take care of me. Hopefully my immune system backs me up on my efforts to fight it off!
