Fun-End-of- the-Year Projects

I have 4 days of school left! We have been doing some fun, but still educational activities at school this past week. I had the kids bring in some cardboard and fabric to make books. They all wrote stories along with a dedication page, copyright page and an "About the Author" page. Then we sewed the pages together and used the cardboard covered by fabric to make a front and back cover. It was so fun to watch my kids sew! I have to say many of my boys were better than the girls! I haven't gotten pictures yet but they are coming out really cute! We also have been reviewing symmetry and patterns in math by creating tessellations. Here are some pictures of my favorites. Also, we made class shirts where every student could draw a picture of themselves so that the whole class is represented on everyone's shirt!

Wow. I tried Tesselations with my third graders. I really wish I taught a little more in the upper grades now. There is no way they could have pulled off a finished product that cool!
