Description

Projects to jump-start a class.

This book provides more than 75 tried-and-true, classroom-tested, teacher-approved projects designed for use in K-8 classes. The projects cover a broad range of subject areas, and they can be adapted to suit students of different abilities and learning styles, including children with special needs and those learning English as a second language.

Easy to set up and simple to complete, these inventive and inspiring projects are perfect for:

  • Team-building exercises
  • Helping to build knowledge and proficiencies based on students' current understanding
  • Increasing cultural literacy and general knowledge
  • Helping teachers fulfill curriculum requirements.

And they're also just plain fun!

Each project is warmly illustrated and features an at-a-glance overview of subject areas covered, time frames and required materials. A special Book Tie-Ins section helps teachers match reading materials to curriculum areas, and additional notes throughout the book provide information on everything from building a classroom library to understanding multiple intelligences.

Projects include:

  • Butterfly Life Cycle
  • Create a Country
  • First Day Questionnaire
  • Hear and Draw
  • Leaf Pictures
  • Play Money Spelling Bee
  • Reading Awards
  • Simulated Spacewalk
  • Bottle Cap Tap Dancing
  • Trivia Quiz.

Great Teacher Projects is a lifesaver for busy teachers with diverse classrooms and their various needs.
