The best time to do this is late January. Ask students to bring in old calendars from home. The cuter the pictures the better. As the years go by you will get a collection that students can choose from. You may even put a wish list out to the entire school the first year, so you get a goodly selection to choose from right away. Glue white construction paper with appropriate grade level writing lines on each calendar section. (Parents can volunteer to do this) Students write sentences/paragraphs about the photos. Ends up being a great project for young students.Friday, January 1, 2010
CALENDAR CREATIONS
The best time to do this is late January. Ask students to bring in old calendars from home. The cuter the pictures the better. As the years go by you will get a collection that students can choose from. You may even put a wish list out to the entire school the first year, so you get a goodly selection to choose from right away. Glue white construction paper with appropriate grade level writing lines on each calendar section. (Parents can volunteer to do this) Students write sentences/paragraphs about the photos. Ends up being a great project for young students.
HOLIDAY REPORT
Have students complete one for each holiday. The pages may go into the Journal/Memory Book or can be collected and made into a HOLIDAY PROJECT book at the end of the year.WRITING RIDDLES
Have students draw a detailed picture of the riddle answer and place behind the riddle. Post in the hallway or make a class riddle book.
POINTALISM SNOWMAN
Use this project to show younger students the art concept of POINTALISM. See: http://okscribbler.blogspot.com/2010/02/pointillism-projects.html
100th DAY SCHOOL ACTIVITY
Our school had each student bring in pennies. The goal was 100 pennies per student. Each class did their own activities that incorporated graphing and math skills that were age appropriate. Older classes partnered with younger classes to help with their projects. On the 100th DAY OF SCHOOL an assembly was held to give the school total and present the amount to the chosen charitable cause. Idea was taken from - The Mailbox.com100th DAY PUZZLE ACTIVITY
THIS IS A GREAT ACTIVITY THAT ALL THE STUDENTS LOVE AND GET VERY INVOLVED IN.
YEAR OF THE FAMILY
I made this a Class Book at the beginning of the year. It helped to have an idea what kind of family your students came from. Make sure you erase 1994 at the top of the page. If you do not want to have "Family Day" for each student, put this on their "Star of the Week" Bulletin Board. You can delete the top portion of the page. Have the students take home so parents can help them fill in the questions. The students can use the page to help them talk about their family. Make sure to make a copy for your class book, before you put the papers away for Star of the Week. See STAR OF THE WEEK in Beginning of the Year.
