5th Grade Goals Freebie and more!

I meant to share a file with you all that I used this year with my students.  Every year I ask my student to write long term and short term goals for the new school year.  I have had to come up with clever and creative ways to present it because I have been getting bored with it myself.  The good thing about this assignment is that we can look back at their September goals and see that most of the goals, if not all were met before April.

Some of my student set goals that are interesting and amusing (not elementary at all :-))and when I read them I just chuckle.  Some I become dazed with after reading-  The SHADES of TEACHING, it comes in all hues lol.

Here is the publishing paper that was used this year.  My program has a great image of loose leaf paper.  I thought is was retro and cute at the same time with the added touches that I made to a blank canvas.


They look great displayed and backed with neon paper.

My students in the past loved The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, and it seems like my new students enjoy Jeff Kinney as well.  Here is my ode to JK.  I got the idea from Sarah at Everybody is a Genius.  She is an interactive notebook wiz, and there is an assignment that she had her students do as a way of decor yet creativity with numbers.  I tweaked it a little of course.  The purpose is to think about numbers in a different way, how do you use numbers daily, or the numbers about you.  They wrote on their notebook similarly to a cover.  I immediately had an idea how to use it when I read the post from Sarah.  I can't find the actual post- it was during the summer.  When I find it I will post it then.

I gave my students a huge number five on paper, and they were to think of creative ways to write number about them.  They loved it, and I enjoyed reading them!  We are going to have a publishing showcase this Friday.  Here it is, it will be available at my TN store.
