Mood Tracker








I saw this idea on Pinterest to be used as a card and I adapted it to be used with students. It's for them to track how they feel each day so they have to each create their own. The students can customize their trackers and draw whatever they like to be colored showing their mood of the day. They can draw hearts, balloons, flowers, an animal or a light bulb like I did. Encourage them to use their creativity. The mood tracker can be used every class or at home every day and then shared with the class when it's complete. Depending on their level, they can share why they felt sad or happy on that day. They key for the different feelings can also be adapted. The class can add more or fewer feelings, just be careful with the space you have to write. I was able to fit in exactly 31 bulbs.
To make the tracker fold the paper in the middle, then fold each side back once. Watch the video to see how easy it is.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas!!

 Last days of class and everything is Christmasy! I used paint and markers to liven up my students' paper portfolio envelopes with a holly ribbon. The kids loved them! They then added their own Christmas theme decorations to their portfolios. We also made holiday bookmarks which were pretty easy to make with leftover craft paper from the year. And look who I got to take a picture with at the mall! 🎄

Easter Part 2

Here's one more craft I did with my 4th-graders. They dipped their fingers in paint to make the little bunnies or eggs. We did the paint one day and the next day after the paint was completely dry, they added the details and wrote "Happy Easter"!  We folded half of a craft paper in half so it could stand up on a table. I had told them they could use it to decorate their houses for the holiday. This was fast and easy.  

My Best Shot

Back to school for our second semester. Of course, we talked about what the kids did on their vacation. We brainstormed everything people do while on vacation and put all their ideas on the board. Next, I asked them to think of one of their best moments and imagine they had taken a photo of it. Then, we folded half of a white sheet in half, they drew their cameras and on the inside they had to draw their "photo" and write a sentence about it using the past. The sentence had to start with, on my vacation I_____. Last, we added string to their cameras so they could hang it around their neck like a real photographer and each student got to present their work to the class.
