Annual Treasure Box Family Project

The Treasure Boxes started arriving last week. I went ahead and let those students share their project. They were so excited!
Students are working on many skills during their presentation.
1. They learn to speak in a loud clear voice.
2. Everyone must introduce themselves.
3. They must share two mediums (art supplies or other items.) they used to decorate their treasure box.
4. Tell who helped them with their project.
5. Students are encouraged to speak in complete sentences.
6. Students learn how to respond to compliments.



Here are just a few so far...

Students also have responsibilities as the audience.

1. Students are learning what makes a good listener.
    Look at the speaker etc.
2. Students learn to take turns.
3. Students are learning how to ask questions
4. Students are learning how to give and receive compliments.

I can't wait to see the rest of the projects as they come in! You are all doing a fantastic job! Please keep student made books in these treasure boxes all year. These will be great practice for reading sight words and building confidence in these young readers.
Treasure Box project continued:

This past Friday morning was filled with more sharing of wonderful treasure boxes and creative ideas. Thank you to all the family members who helped with this project.  However, this project is one that continues all year. Now that you have the box, you have to fill it with the treasures that your child will bring home. BOOKS! AND treat them as such. Ohhh and Ahhh over these books, ask your child to read them to you. They will follow your lead. 

Read, read read. 

Did I say read? 

If you and your child have not made yours yet, It's not too late. The share chair is always there!
