People Who Help Us–project style

God’s People in Community – People Who Help Us
 

This is the theme for one of our major units this term.  It’s a fun topic and the Little Learners usually love the visits from community helpers who come into our rooms to share information about their jobs with us.
 

This year I am having the Little Learner’s be responsible for presenting their information

 project style. 

Today I showed them many different possibilities just so they understand that they can choose how the information is presented.  They were so excited with the idea that they have choices.

I instantly followed this session up by having them prepare their template and titles…

you know I couldn’t give them total choice…

guess I am a control freak after all. (surprise, surprise I hear you shout)
 

How???

A sheet of cardboard was folded in half, then in  half again so there were 4 equal sections 

Next the card was opened and the outer left and right sections were folded inward ensuring that the opening was at the centre.
 

I printed a title identification sheet and the Little Learner’s wrote their names, coloured the letters and cut off excess paper.  The two sections of the title were then pasted on either side of the centre opening. 
 

Yes… I did have to adjust a couple so that they met up precisely. {How do you think I’ll fare over the next few weeks as they will be totally responsible for their layout?}
 

A closer look…

Looks a little dry now but…
 

fast forward a few weeks and it will be covered inside and out with tid bits of factual information and illustrations.  It should be grand indeed.
 

Happy Thursday!
