Camouflage Mosaic Soldier

Just felt like sharing. My Life Skills class (a few years ago) entered a school competition. Ned, the yo-yo guy, visited our campus. The principal challenged all the students to create their very own yo-yo Ted poster. My students didn't usually participate in the school's projects so I took it upon myself to make it a classroom project. I had two students that were interested in soldiers so this is what we created. Also, I thought it was cute to see such a big guy with a little, bitty yo-yo. Look closely, the yo-yo is behind one of the students.

World History - Archaeological Dig

Why are these Sophomores so engaged? They"re archaeologists of course!

They're using paintbrushes to dig though the sand. When they find an artifact (a piece of a puzzle), they have to try to fit it to the other found pieces. Then, they guess what they think the puzzle picture may be. This turned out to be a very fun project. The puzzle picture was a small kitten. They guessed dinosaur, plant, tree, lion, monkey, and furniture. (Oh, I only put about 1/3 of the puzzle pieces in the sand.) I was then able to explain that many times archaeologists do the same thing. They only get fractions to the puzzle and they have to make their best educated guess.

Measurement Booklet

I'm working on a new booklet for Teachers pay Teachers. 

I can't wait to share it. Hopefully, I'll have it completed tomorrow.
