We participate in monthly challenges as a whole school. They are a great way to bring the school together! We post data and results in a central location near the front office. The challenge for October is called ~ Counting Pumpkins! Each class received two books, one fiction and one non-fiction to keep and use in the classroom. Literacy is really important in our building so whenever we can make a connection to literacy, we do! Here are the two books each classroom received:
Each classroom also received a packet to help guide them through the challenge! I found HUGE pumpkins at a local market and I got one for each classroom. I also provided metal trays (the kind for a turkey) from the dollar store for each room to help reduce the mess!
Here is the link to the packet! It only costs $2.50 for the 10 page packet. Why not see if your school would be interested in doing their own school-wide challenge?
Love to see that someone teaches science like I do. Love to check out how you add trade books to your curriculum, too. Would love to see how your district includes science into the school week. I teach K-5 science to 21 sections of kiddos, only one hour a day. You have been a great inspiration!
