I wrapped up my 22nd year of teaching on Friday! YIPPEE!!!!!!!
The children are the #1 reason I teach and summer break is the #2 reason. Although I have ten weeks off, I changed classrooms, and will be spending a lot of time in my new room this summer.
This blog post is all about activities we did to help us survive the end of the school year. We need to keep students engaged {and busy} so we can take care of all of our end of year tasks. There is so much for us to do and the students are engaged, we can get things done!
We did a really unique project this week that I wanted to share with you … First Grade Superheroes!! This activity was so engaging and really allowed us to celebrate each unique individual in our classroom community.
First, we read this book (these are just a few of the pages):
Next, we brainstormed a few first grade superhero qualities. Then, we made our superhero capes.
Students read what their friends had written on their superhero capes and proudly displayed them on their backs all day!
I also made awards for students. The students loved received awards in first grade! These come in color or black and white. I used black and white so students could spend time making them beautiful and I could work on our end of year slideshow.
