You'll need:
- the printable page from the Pond Coloring Club (free)
- crayons
- scissors
- glitter or sequins (optional)
Have your students warm up by doing some scribble coloring on the back of their page. Big strokes and patterns are lots of fun and also support emerging handwriting skills. Hanging in a display the craft star will turn and twirl - it will be nice to see this bright warm yellow.
After coloring or painting you can add a layer of white glue and sprinkle some glitter or sequins on. Allow plenty of time for drying if you are including this step.
I hope your class has lots of fun learning about meteorites and practicing their scissor skills!
Here is a star themed math warm up you may like to play this week too!
5 Star Math Warm Up
- put a collection of 5 stars in the play area
- players take turns to roll 2 dice
- when a total of 5 is rolled, a player may claim a star
- play until all 5 have been claimed
Variations:
- play for subtraction with a 12 and 6 sided dice, rolling for a difference of 5 (e.g. 2 and 7)
- all players can attempt to claim a star when a 5 is rolled (put one star out at a time)
