Holiday Expository Writing
by mskp
Students brainstorm, plan and write what describes them using symbols on a stocking.
You can also alter this and have them do a tacky stocking for a character in a book they are reading.
After, I purchase stockings at Wal-Mart for $0.97 and students use fabric paint and crafts to enhance their descriptions of the symbols that make them unique.

Time Capsule Project
Welcome to TWOSday - 2/2/2022. For this project, you will create a Time Capsule which will allow you to select a few primary sources from your own life. A time capsule will allow you to reflect back on what life was like in 2022. What was popular, historical events, your personal preferences and other important events/items in your life. The next date in history will be 11 years from now on 3/3/2033. How much will you have grown? In which ways will our society have changed? The purposes of doing this “Personal Time Capsule” are: -To provide a record of your life and who you are now -To anchor in time your current views, attitudes, philosophy, and outlook -To analyze your personal characteristics and the relationship to your future -To create a document that, years from now, will have significant value to you
Popits Multiplication & Hundred Chart
Are your students obsessed with the popit phenomenon? Make it a meaningful manipulative - turn it into a hundred chart on one side (great for multiples) and on the other side make it a multiplication table. We purchased 10x10 popits and the students used Sharpie to create their own manipulatives.
