Animal Classification

My students are really excited to create their animal classification game boxes. We will start creating them tomorrow or Friday. I did this activity last year and it worked out perfectly. I got the idea from the time capsule project we did last year. The students are going to make a mini box containing 3-D characteristics of their animal classification group. Then the groups will get to mix up their pieces and then sort them to play the game. I always find it interesting to see who takes the leader role in each group.

Famous American Museum

My class is finally having our Famous American Museum next Friday. The kids are really excited. We are presenting 6 Famous Americans and are inviting the parents, grandarents etc. to come in. The students are dressing up and memorizing the facts they learned about their Famous Americans. Although the project took way longer than planned - I'm still proud and excited!
