Mood Tracker

By

 







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!!

By
 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! 🎄

My Little Garden

By
Based on a story my fourth-graders read in class about a girl who wanted a garden in her small apartment, I had the class think about what a garden needs. Students first wrote what a garden needs to grow strong and glued this paper with their answer on the back of a green paper. They then made flowers and stems to create their garden. We folded 2 slips of paper to make the stem so the flowers would pop off the page. It was facinating to see how each garden, despite having the same elements, was so diferent.

How are you today?

By
No matter how old my students are, we always start the class by me asking them how they are, or sometimes them asking each other. To help with this opening routine, I made this feelings wheel and now when I ask my fourth-graders how they are, they use a clothespin to attach to the image of how they are feeling. Recently, I've been choosing a mini-teacher and they have to choose 3 students and ask them how they are. They then show the class the student's answer on the feelings wheel and ask the class how he or she is. The class has to give a complete answer, he or she is excited, for example. In a classroom where I can't use screens, this wheel has been a great helper.
