Classroom Project #1: My first project to accomplish was name popsicle sticks. I saw a great idea on the KinderTastic blog, which I have been wanting to try out. In order to keep track of which kids have been called, the sticks are painted two colors. Once a student has had a turn, their stick gets turned over so the other color shows. I love this idea, because you don't have to carry around another container and you don't risk losing any.

Basically you need two bottles of acyrlic paint, a ruler, a paint brush, and popsicle sticks.
Finished Product:
Next up I will be cute-ifying the little Target bucket with "Lucky Duck" clip art and a label to hold these fun sticks. Once I have a confirmed class list, I will be adding the kiddos names to the sticks.
Classroom Project #2: Although I am not a huge fan of worksheets in kindergarten, I do think that some times worksheets have there place! Instead of having pages and pages of completed sheets, I plan using an awesome idea I found on Classroom DIY- dry erase boards made from report covers and duck tape.

Thanks for stopping by!!! Happy Monday and Happy Crafting!
Cute stuff! I love how you painted the sticks two different colors to help determine who you've called on. Great idea? I think I'll have to do this, too!
ReplyDeleteI love your sticks, the two colors would be helpful instead of two cans. Thanks for sharing, it is so fun getting new Ideas from other teachers.
