Hallway Display Idea




This was an idea I got from another teacher and I thought was a great way to display what was going on in the classroom each month.

I love hallway ideas! I have posted some on my blog, but love seeing what other teachers are doing. Thanks!

I love it! Are those 12 x 18 sheets of construction paper? Do you laminate them?

At the beginning of the year did you have them up already with just the month tags?

These would look great in our pod area - thanks for sharing!

Mendy - Those are 12x18 sheet but they are not laminated, some of the pictures hang off the sheets and I plan to give pictures to students at the end of the year. I put them up as the month is finished. I was afraid if I put them all up for the year that it might be an incentive to "doodle" on them as they stand in line.

These look great! I'm really loving your blog. I'm moving from first grade to 4th grade science next year, and will be teaching the entire grade level!!! I'm curious about the "are you a weather whiz?" papers hanging below the monthly posters. can you explain those?

The weather whiz posters were something I did at a training about weather. It was a posterboard that I cut into three strips. I cut windows in them that the students could lift up. On the outside of the window I put a picture or drew a picture of a cloud type (or used cotton balls) and underneath was the answer when students lifted it up. I put them in the hall so they could test themselves when standing in line. It said, "Are you a weather whiz? Take this cloud quiz!"

At the end of the year (when it's so hard to motivate the kids to do anything at all), the teacher could give the pictures out (single pictures) to kids who completed work/did their best--sort of like a raffle for all the kids whose name was in the hat for XXXX. Even if a kid didn't get a picture he/she was in, it is still a great memory and includes friends from class.

Such good material on here. I cannot wait to start teaching this fall!

I'm thinking about trying this out. It looks like you just pick one thing that you studied that month and include pictures pertaining to that one concept. (rather than write several things covered in the curriculum that month, you are just honing in on one.) Do I have that right?

Are you willing to share the monthly tag that you made for the top of each one?

I would share them...if I saved them! Sorry. I sort of made them and then deleted them. I'll try to recreate and put up on the site.

Great idea! I am always looking for something new to present in my classroom. Thanks in advance!

Moon Phase Box

I happened to walk into a fourth grade class the other day and they were hard at work making moon phase boxes. They were totally adorable and the kids were completely into it. The teacher very kindly let me take some pictures (thank you Mrs. Parker!) and add to my blog. Students would need a shoe box and they need to cover the inside and inside lid with black construction paper. Using fishing wire they would hang a ping pong ball in the center of the lid so it is suspended in the center of the box. They then take a flashlight and trace the light end on one of the short ends of the box and then create viewing flaps in the middle of every side (including the one with the light bulb (but that might be slightly off center). It is important that the viewing areas are flaps and not cut directly out (you need to keep the light coming into the box blocked as much as possible). The teacher used a box cutter to cut the flaps and flashlight hole for the children. I probably would

Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Activity

I saw this activity at a science conference years ago and haven't had a chance to use it in a classroom until this week (mainly because I didn't teach weathering, erosion, and deposition). It is a great way to reinforce the definition of the weathering, erosion, and deposition in a highly kinesthetic manner. Basically you break the students up into groups of three. One group is "Weathering" another group is "Erosion" and the third group is "Deposition". Add tape to the back because you are going to stick them to the forehead of the children in each group. The "weathering" students get a sheet of paper that is their "rock" they will be breaking down. At the start of the activity the "weathering" students will start ripping tiny pieces of their "rock" and handing it to the "erosion" students. The "erosion" students will be running their tiny piece of "rock&

Picture of the Day - Activity

I attended a training class and a science coach shared an activity that he does with his students to help them differentiate between observations, inferences, and predictions. He puts a picture on the interactive white board as a warm up (he gets the pictures from a variety of sources but uses National Geographic's Picture of the Day a lot). The picture above is from the National Geographic site. He has the students make five observations. Then he makes the students make five inferences. Finally he has the students make five predictions. He does this every day and it really drives home the difference between those three key inquiry vocabulary terms. I've done this activity with both my sixth and fourth grade science classes and the students really got into it and became proficient at telling me the difference between those terms.
