Extra Activities

My first graders were able to explore all the extra activities available IF they finish their assignments early in class. Give 'em a taste and they'll be more likely to stay on task during projects to get that privilege!


K'nex were a hit! Notice that someone (upper right corner) missed the direction NOT to color or draw in the drawing books! I let out a loud "eeek!" right after snapping the pix & quickly redirected her...


Oil based clay was enjoyed by many - laminated 12 x 18 construction paper keeps the mess off the table.


Legos are the most popular!


Here we have the drawing books used the way they were meant to be used...


Someone donated these tanagram pieces - need to get more...


I found these foam shapes at the dollar section in Target. Kids seem to like them...


No drawing books needed here!


A good time was had by all...

  1. I like all these ideas! I may use them for centers the last two weeks of school. Usually the last two weeks I don't do formal projects but let all the kids explore a center that is set up. Great Ideas to add! Thanks.
