What a CRAZY week and weekend!!! We are finished with our state testing and school fair. Yahoo!!! This past week consisted of finishing up state testing, teaching students a dance for the fair performance, painting a picture for the fair silent auction, (see picture below), making over 50 candy apples for the sweets booth, and practicing for the teacher fair performance! Yes, I am one of 11 teachers who actually dances in front of the parents and students at the fair!!! I think the best part of dancing would be attending all practices after school!!! enjoying the fair candy apples for the sweet booth silent auction: each student painted a different picture on the canvas End-of-the-Year Linky Party With state testing & the fair behind me, I can start preparing for the end of the year. I am linking up with Clutter-Free Classroom and sharing my end-of-the-year ideas. I can't believe May is right around the corner!! Where did the school year go? I still need to put together portfolios and make a power point presentation. I love making a power point from all of the pictures I take during the school year. I must admit that it takes over a week to construct because I always find a way to mess up something! It never fails that every year I make some kind of mistake!!! For the portfolios, I save the students' work all year and use sheet protectors in binders. I like to put the work in order from the first to last day for the parents. I put all work in sheet protectors. The parents appreciate the organization of the work so much because it saves them the time of doing it over the summer. Also, students complete a summer writing activity. This writing activity is my favorite one of the year. The creativity that flows from the students' brains is amazing! Students are asked to write about a summer trip they have taken already or plan on taking. After editing the rough draft, students write the final copy of the essay on sunglasses. Students glue glasses on large white construction paper and draw a picture around the glasses. I was amazed the first time I did this with my class. I did not instruct them to draw a person. The end results were more than I imagined! summer writing summer writing end-of-the-year presentation set up Click (HERE) to grab your sunglasses template. What a post!

This bulletin board from All About Children childcare center incorporates two of the best things about summer - ice cream and sunglasses! It's a sweet design, created using student crafts, that's sure to be a hit. Don't forget to grab the FREE template at the bottom of this post! Ice Cream Cone Craft To duplicate the original craft, simply cut ice cream scoop shapes from white art paper, invite students to use paint daubers to color the scoop, then attach the cutout to a triangle shape cut from light brown/tan construction paper. Easy peasy! Of course, there are other ways to go about the project; Create the scoop and cone shapes using an ice cream template or coloring page. The more detailed shapes will make the cones stand out more when arranged on the bulletin board. Instead of paint daubers, have students make puffy ice cream cones. All you need is shaving cream, glue, food coloring, and sprinkles! This, of course, would lend a more authentic ice cream look! Sunglasses Craft Download the sunglasses template below and have your students use them to create their own pair of sunglasses. There are four different shapes to add a bit of variation! Also, while you can simply have your students cut sunglasses from brightly colored card stock, we think it might be fun to try to provide a unique art experience. For example; Use Crayon transfer art to create a design on the glasses, then cover with muted watercolors for a wax resist effect. Complete the project in small groups and {safely!} paint with melted crayons! The results are sure to be stunning! Summer Is Sweet In Preschool! Background: White bulletin board paper. Title: "Summer Is Sweet In Preschool!" Border: Summer themed trimmer or complimentary color/patterned border. Decoration: Fill the board with your students' crafts!

UPDATE! Barbie went to high school and can now do inverse trig functions with her zipline engineering! Geometry students found angles of depression using inverse trig functions and Pythagorean theorem to find the length of cable they needed! The handout and more photos can be found at the end of this post! Math and Science classes could have been sponsored by Mattel this year with all the Barbie involved! You can read about our super fun Barbie Bungee adventures here or over at my awesome partner science teacher's blog where we dropped Barbie from the top of the football stadium bleachers. After doing Barbie Bungee with our students this year for scatter plots, we leaked the plans that we would also be doing Barbie Zipline. Students had really been looking forward to this and as soon as they saw the unit divider for their notebooks was Pythagorean Theorem, they erupted with excitement and questions! The lesson started with this video to get them thinking about the criteria of what makes a zipline fun but safe. Most line, height, and speed! We reminded them that just like Barbie Bungee, we wanted to give Barbie a thrill without killing her! Students were also given a budget to work within to get their business started. After looking at all the ways other teachers have done this lesson, I liked how Andrew Stadel at Divisible by 3 did it so I used his plan to guide me...along with talking out every detail 47 times and adjusting throughout the day with my amazing co-teachers! Here is the handout for their notebooks where I combined all the things I stole found and changed it to a fun font! Students had to get their designs approved by our super awesome maintenance guy or amazing library media specialist. Our library media specialist gave them a tough time and even had some redesign their zipline before she would approve it! One group forgot to take their money with them to pay for the permit and she charged them interest by the minute while they {ran} to get the money! I love that the whole building was involved in their learning. We walked through the criteria together and they had to come up with three designs. One that would be instant, certain death for Barbie, one where Barbie may get stuck or lack a thrilling ride, and a ride just right where Barbie goes a safe, fun speed. Students worked hard on their designs and stood in line to get them approved! I gave them the height (leg) of the launch which was the catwalk at the cafeteria. They used the tiles on the cafeteria floor to measure where the zipline should be held (leg). The hypotenuse was the amount of cable needed and they had to calculate that as well. I let them have a walkthrough of the cafeteria to make any last minute adjustments to their design and that was Day 1. For Day 2, launch day, the science classes timed the Barbies going down the ziplines and calculated the speed for each group. We used feet for the design measurement so students could use the tiles but for the speed we had them convert to meters. It was awesome to see mathematicians launching their Barbies while the scientists collected the data below! I love when our powers combine! In the videos below, you can see the launch and the students timing and calculating below. I love everything about this lesson and the Pythagorean Theorem! I am so happy so many want to try this in their classrooms! Here is the link to the interactive notebook page I used. Please make it your own and let me know how it goes and how we can make it better! Yay math!
