I've mentioned this project/bulletin board a few times, and now that this year's group has done it, presented it, and I've (almost) finished reading their reports, I'm going to tell you more about it! We tweaked it this year, and I'm so happy with the results! We tied it into our social studies curriculum by telling the kiddos (and putting it on the instructions sheet for the parents) that we will learn throughout the year how California is made up of immigrants and migrants from many places, so their first task as 4th grade social studies learners is to find out how their family got here and learn about the country/ies their families came from. This tie-in wasn't as specific last year, and I'm really excited to be able to reference this project throughout the year! Here are the parts: Report - we give very detailed instructions about what should be in the report. I modeled for students that if their family has come from many different places, they could start with something like "My family came from many countries, such as ___, ___, and ___. I am going to focus on my ____, who came from _____." So that the kiddos with many countries didn't feel overwhelmed. Most of my students' parents moved here after they got married in another country, though, so they just had one country to write about. Presentation - The students presented on their family history, one interesting fact they learned, and showed their Mini-Me. Mini-Me - I give them each one of these cute little popsicle sticks. Last year, I let them choose from the boy or girl ones ... which left me with about 25 girl sticks and 8 boy sticks. One of my fabulous teammates suggested breaking off the skirts. Yay for not having to buy more! I broke off the skirts for all of the boys before handing them out and, then had any girls who wanted the skirts taken off raise their hands, and I quickly did theirs. Click HERE to get them on Amazon ... so much cheaper than they were at the teacher supply store! Most of the kiddos did fantastic on the presentation, though there were some who just read their report (totally not following directions)! I did have to have a few re-write their reports for handwriting/neatness issues and a few whose parents clearly helped a bit too much, but overall the reports came out great (especially for the beginning of the year). This is such a great project because the kiddos love it, it gives me a great baseline of their writing (and how much their parents help) and presentation skills, and we get to know about each other better! I'm working on planning some activities for them to compare and contrast their history or country with others. We're definitely going to do a Venn diagram. You could also do a lot of things with graphing and data as far as how many kiddos are from where (just look at all my kiddos whose families came from China!). It also makes a wonderful board that can be left up all year long! I didn't do great at planning os the kids were spaced out. I'm thinking about putting some flags in the blank areas. Now for the freebies! (Click on pictures to go to google docs!) **Note: These documents are a collaboration between my grade level team and myself** My bulletin board letters: The letters are a bit crazy when you look at the document. Just print, cut, (laminate), and put them in this order. It will work, promise! For those of you who don't want the California flag in there, the font is Oh Photo Shoot by Kevin and Amanda. I just put it on outline (in the format font menu) and then put the flag image behind it. Assignment Instructions:
It's always a pleasure to work with a super creative parent on any party. This past Saturday, we helped style a cute rock star themed birthday party for a little girl who was turning five. The mom had been planning on this party theme for a year. She had picked up the fun banners on clearance that coordinated with the whole theme of the event. Thrift stores also became excellent sources to pick up more party items. Like the fun cassette background to the cupcake table. Which was actually a duvet cover. The pillowcase was used as part of the centerpiece for the kid table. The pink polka dot table cover that the mom used for the cupcake table was another sheet. Cardboard paper amps were also thrift store finds. Vinyl records were placed on our glass cake stands and glittery purple ribbon created the perfect serving trays. Tying coordinating purple ribbon around the popcorn scoop dressed it up. The mom made a fun birthday sign which she placed in a black frame, as well as a coordinating number 5 which she placed above the cupcake table. We supplied the drum set, amp, mic and mic stand, guitar, and tambourines to help set the stage for this rocking fifth birthday party. The mom hung twinkle lights behind two black sheets and a silver tablecloth which she was able to pick up on clearance from Christmas! Feather boas, sparkly microphones, and fun glasses not only were great party favors, but also served as great photo props for when the kids sang up on the "stage". The birthday girl's mom made the cupcake wrappers and picked up cute colorful cupcakes from Sam's Club. We made star sugar cookies and iced them with edible glitter that the mom had also made. Tutorials can be found on the internet for making edible glitter. A simple recipe that consists of sugar, food coloring, and baking. A fun activity for the kids that attended was decorating their own guitar using magic markers and glitter glue. Yes, our creative mom painstakingly cut out twenty of those cardboard guitars herself. We provided the black glitter stars for the guitars.

Photo Source: Brittany Thibodeau Cabinets, closets, and drawers aren't the only things a good spring cleaning can help. Sometimes, after a long winter, we need to take a mental inventory and 'dust off' our manners too! As the temperatures rise and excitement runs high, it's more important than ever to remind your kiddos what it means to be a part of and contribute to a positive learning environment! We thought this vibrant spring display, created by Brittany Thibodeau, offered an adorable way to do just that! A beautiful addition to your spring lessons/decor, as your students work together to create the display, as well as review what it looks like to respect others in- and outside the classroom, you'll all get a mini character "check-up" just in time for spring! Blooming With Respect! Background: White bulletin board paper. Title: "Blooming With Respect!" Border: Spring themed bulletin board trimmer. Decoration: Work together as a class to create a hand print flower garden! Using craft paint in vibrant spring hues, take turns painting each child's hand and helping them press it to the white background paper to create a paint print. Once each student has had a chance to add a hand print (or two!), let them dry, then use green craft paint and a paint brush to turn them into "flowers"; drawing a stem and leaves beneath each print. Once fully dry, invite your kiddos to brainstorm what it looks like to show respect inside and outside of the classroom - i.e. "Show I am paying attention by keeping my eyes on the teacher", "Help my friends make good choices", "Keep my hands/body to myself", etc. Print their responses and names onto their hand print "blossoms", then hang the paper on your bulletin board and add a border/title!
We are an SRA Imagine It! School. We are spending this week wrapping up our Look Again Unit. It was so much fun discovering how different animals use camouflage to hide! My students worked on an Animal Report to learn more about one of the animals we have been reading about in our stories. (Thank goodness for a library full of books!). I even have an old set of Encyclopedias in my classroom as a resource - boy did the kids have a look of total shock on their faces when I told them I didn't have internet when I grew up and had to use those big books to look up information. Ah… this generation is so fortunate for google! Here are a few of the completed projects - I think they turned out great:) Here's a peek inside… You can grab your own copy of this report and the patterns/directions for creating the safari guide at my Teacher's Notebook store.

Last year for Black History Month, I really wanted to find a dynamic way to highlight and celebrate the work of some of my favorite Black artists. While my students were all hard at work creating art projects inspired by many of these artists (Tar Beach collages by Faith Ringgold, self portraits inspired by Amy Sherald
Photo Source: thegirlwhokeepsdreaming.tumblr.com Wouldn't this exhibit created for the KI-X: Knowledge Integration eXhibition at The University of Waterloo Art Gallery make a great school-wide display for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day?! Simple, yet profound, the exercise invites students to think about and describe what peace means to them; an important theme that weaves its way through Martin Luther King, Jr's infamous speech and goes hand in hand with diversity, freedom, and equality. With its colorful sticky notes and contrasting lettering the display is visually appealing and, as a school-wide project, the mural is sure to promote a sense of community. Not to mention, the finished exhibit offers a positive message for all who stop to read!
