College Research Project for Upper Elementary Students: College Awareness and College Week Activities for students in 3rd, 4th, 5th Grade
List of college week activities to get you ready for College Week at your school. Here are my top 10+ ideas for elementary students.
While I was in the throws of coordinating and administering a standardized assessment to about 450 of our students (that was going to be online…for the first time…using only 30 computers), I learned that our district was about to celebrate College Awareness week and that every school had to participate in some way or another.

This College Pennant Research Project allows students to choose a college that is important to them, research important facts about the college, and then decorate a college pennant to market it to others. Perfect to hang up to around the school for college awareness week or simply to promote college awareness campus-wide! This resource contains: ✔️ Teacher/sub pacing guide (entire project takes 4-5 days total) ✔️ Blank college pennant outline (works best if printed on cardstock) ✔️ Graphic organizer for student research ✔️ A suggestion of what should be included on the front/back of the pennant ✔️ Student recording sheet to be used during pennant presentations ✔️ 5 Actual pennant examples to show your students! At the end of the project, you will have bright, eye-catching college pennants to display, and students will have learned important information for 20-30 colleges! Perfect for: Display for Open House/Meet the Teacher Display as a school bulletin board College Week/ Student Hosted College Fair General college awareness around the campus I found that my students became very proud of their school and took ownership after they had done research. The students enjoyed seeing all of the different pennant styles, and it was a great way to practice public speaking for my shy kids. TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kristin P. said, I displayed the pennants in the hallway and the whole school really enjoyed learning about a variety of different colleges. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gwendolyn R. said, This made the project so easy to do. I had done it before without using this activity and this made researching and making their pennants so simple. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jordan E. said, Used this as a college awareness activity during March. Had my students do one for one of their favorite teachers, it was very well recieved. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Angela T. said, This was a fun activity to start the school year off and to motivate my students to want to push through the school year as they start thinking about high school and further into college. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jennifer L. said, My students loved this class project. They learned a lot and it got them thinking about the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amritha P. said, Excellent resource for college and career planning. I was not sure whether all my students will be engaged in this activity but surprisingly, every one of the periods I used this activity, students were super engaged and spent time and creative skills in decorating the pennant.
