LFS and Foldables

As you prep for your new year, let's not foget the focus of LFS and how important it has been to our classroom instructional practices over the past few years. One topic I always liked to see kids using is foldables. I know the tech guy in my is screaming "use the computer", but the teacher in me knows how important manipulatives are for students. So, I found a couple of foldable web sites that may inspire you to use them again or come up with your own. “Foldables” are basically 3 D graphic organizers. Graphic organizers are great tools to help students categorize content in a way to make it more accessible and meaningful to them.
