Are you ready for Open House?
Our Open House is the last week in May...
just two weeks before the last day of school!
(anyone else counting down?!)
We love Open House!
It is a really B.I.G. deal at our school!
It's a ton of work for one night but our families L.O.V.E. it!
It's a great confidence booster for our kids!
Each child arrives that evening so excited and proud to share all of their hard work with their friends and family.
Over the years it has definitely become easier to prepare for the big night! We have become very good at figuring out what we need to save during the year to share at the end of the year. We will do a beginning of the year blog post in August to help you plan ahead for next year!
If you aren't set for this year's Open House or need something extra special,
we are here to help you!!!
We have a fabulous American Symbols unit that would be perfect for a
Social Science, Literacy, and Art themed unit
that directly correlates with the K-2 standards!
You can customize your American Symbols unit based on how much time you have.
We have 8 American Symbol products:
Each unit includes a Non-Fiction Book, a symbol fact sheet,
a Text Dependent Question activity sheet, a paragraph writing template with writing paper and a craftivity.

If you have time to do 4 symbols,
then Bundle #1
(Bald Eagle, Capitol Building, Great Seal, & U.S. Flag)
or Bundle #2
(Mount Rushmore, Liberty Bell, Statue of Liberty, & White House)
are your best bet!

Each of the craftivities make really cute bulletin boards!
We actually make an adorable American Symbols book! We glue the craftivities and fact sheets onto large sheets of construction paper. Our kids glue scrapbook paper stars to the front cover and viola...the cutest American Symbols book ever!
If you would like to focus on writing, having your class write a paragraph on one of the symbols is a great way to show off their writing skills. This will also be incredibly helpful to you when it's time to do writing grades for report cards!
Another cute tie-in for the American Symbols theme is our
If I were the President... activity.
Believe it or not...this sample is from our TK class!
The self portrait was a directed draw and
the kids dictated what they would do if they were president!

It is also very cute sitting on each student's desk!
We hope this makes the rest of the year a bit easier for you!
Check back with us soon...
