Project Idea

This week I posted my second free worksheet on Tpt: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Superdog-Plato-and-His-Sidekick-Ollies-Mission-Counting . It is a St. Patrick's Day math worksheet that can be adapted for multiple grades and ways of counting. I am working on a story unit that will be ready for purchase soon.
Today I wanted to share a project idea that I've been doing for the past few years. I've done it with first and second graders. Since I teach in New York City, my class project is centered around NYC but it can be done wherever you live. I call it a year long New York project and it's broken down by month. The goal is to completely explore the city in which you live by the children researching themselves as well as learning from other classmates.

New York Project #1-
This was due at the beginning of October.

Directions: Please make a poster depicting the area in which you live. You may put anything on it that you wish and can explain. Here are some suggestions:

1. glue menus from local restaurants
2. glue magazine or newspaper clippings about your area
3. take pictures and glue them
4. draw your neighborhood
5. make buildings out of contruction paper and glue them
6. take any materials that you have at home and create a collage depicting your area
7. any combination of all the above

Poster must include:
-your name
-the name of the area where you live
-at least two sentences describing where you live

Thank you for visiting! Check back soon!!
