Open House 2011


One of my students gave me that cute little "p" sign.  She knows I love polka dots so her fingerprints are all over it!  I love it!

Our theme was fairy tales so this book was displayed near the sign in table.  We're also working a "fairy tale" newspaper this week.  It's a work in progress.

Here are the castles that we made.  Each student also created a fairy tale math problem and used math strategies to solve.  Below the castles, each student wrote about if they were the "king" or "queen" of our school.  They also decorated a crown with jewels. 

This was something new that I had never done before, but the families really enjoyed it.  It was an entire wall filled with fairy tales and fractured tales that we've been working on.  These are just a few highlights!

  4. The display is where I normally hang student work. There are laminated pieces of construction paper which are stapled to the wall. Each one has two paper clips so that I can easily slide work in place without stapling or using sticky tack every time. I wasn't sure if the books were going to stay well, but it turned out great!

  9. I love the books on the wall. That is extremely clever. I think I might do something similar above my reading center with a featured author of the week.
