Back in third grade and students are eager to see what their teacher has learned. What cool things are we gonna write about or do to help us think. The first thing I decided to share was the boo boo map. This would give them a new focus for ideas and who doesn't have at least one really good boo boo! Well, someone had "borrowed" my masking tape. No problem. I ran up the hill to the office...no masking tape in the stash of supplies. What! Now what am I gonna do for a band aid? Never fear, if you can't come up with something kids will not let you down. On my desk, I had a collection of post it notes and tabs. Someone had given me a set of tabs that were paper like post its but short and harrow....perfect band aids...AND they come in colors! (Just like band aids right?) Kids loved them! Easy to draw and write on. Nice size for small fingers and big pencils. May be a little large but perhaps we can trim or compromise. We just had to have some band aids and this fit the bill today. Yep, looks like I am making a weekend run to Wal Mart for more "band aids"..I think they are the Wal Mart brand type things.
Our people have faces....some teacher at the first of the year showed them how to place face parts on a head and hair. They remembered! Kids are neat!
