Grade:
Pre K
Submitted by:
Beth Cruce, a teacher at West Market Family Education Center in Anderson, SC.
Objectives:
Language Development and Recognition of Classmates
What You Need:
construction paper
laminating film
hot glue
small mouse cutout
picture of each child's face
What You Do:
Displaying children's art is very important in preschool classrooms.
At the beginning of the school year we make an art "frame" for each child from construction paper.
We cut out the middle of a large sheet about 1" from the edge all the way around.
We laminate it and attach it with hot glue on three sides to a second uncut sheet. These are stapled to the bulletin board.
When a child completes a project we slip it into the open edge of his "frame".
Because children this age cannot always read the names,we identify each frame with a small cutout of a mouse.
We cut out the face of the mouse and replace it with a picture of the child's face.
We glue this mouse to the child's art frame.
This bulletin board stays up all year, but changes as the children design new art work.
