In Florida, fourth graders take a big writing test in February. What better way to count down and get my students excited than with this countdown paper towel roll I made! It's actually a great reminder for me too! Maybe this visual will put a little pressure and excitement in all of us!
Each paper towel sheet is a numbered day counting backwards from the day of the big event. At the beginning of writing time, we tear one more off until we get to the last day...
And I wrote them a special message for the day of the test.
This could be used for many activities: Countdown to Christmas, a family vacation, last day of school. Can you think of any other ideas? Please post them-I'd love to hear from you!
I saw this quote on Lessons With Laughter (my new bloggy friend) and knew I had to make a poster for my classroom. One, because I love sparkles {it's my favorite color} and two, I think it's a great message for anti-bullying. No one should ever feel any less because of someone else...so it's hanging in my classroom! I had to bling out the word sparkle with some jewels!
