Research & Poetry Boxes

 

If you're looking for a fun project to display that incorporates both research and poetry, why not try a box project? Each of my students selected a famous person to research. Each student then decorated a box of his/her choice with decorations that suited the person (based on research).

 

Students then wrote poems on their boxes as well about their research subject. This accompanies a written piece and is a great project to display at Open House or Parent Night. You may even want the students to place something inside the boxes such as index cards with notes, etc.

Here's the Scoop!

If you're looking for a sweet new way for kids to practice and display grammar or punctuation rules, why not try this? We made giant ice cream cones to display comma rules AND write research facts at the same time. Every student chose a famous person to research. He/she then had to write facts learned from the research using the comma rules we had studied in class.

 

I cut out patterns for the scoops and the cones. The students then traced the patterns onto colorful paper and used corrugated brown paper for the cones. We did use poster  board for backing so that our cones would have some support when students decorated the scoops.

 

These made a cute bulletin board display when finished!
