I was planning on posting this weekend about all of our upcoming projects in October...spiders, bats, pumpkins and all...but, I forgot everything on my desk at school! Don't you love when that happens? So that post will just have to wait :) Instead, I will share one of our Columbus Day activities with you.
It is sort of a take on a ship in a bottle. I let the kids be creative and design their own flags. Then we add our poem onto the back. The poem is below:
Enjoy!
So cute!!! That's a great idea, I bet my first graders would love that! I see you live in South Florida, where? I live in Boca, work in Margate.

ReplyDeleteohhh very close. I REALLY want to teach for Broward County public schools. How long have you been teaching?
ReplyDeleteHopefully next year they will start hiring teachers again in Broward. Our class sizes are starting to grow!! This is my fifth year teaching.

We do something similar, but we add plastic wrap over the top to make the "glass" of the bottle. Thanks for the poem - love it!

Caitlin, could you send me the template for the ship and the bottle? I found your site and am loving it! I have to do a Columbus day craft for my son's 1st grade class and love your idea. Thanks!

Would you mind emailing me the template for the ship and the bottle for your Columbus Day craft if you have the time. I adore your blog! I have taught for years but this is my first year and kindergarten so I need all the resources I can get....my TpT cart is FULL of your products right now...I'm so excited to try them out. Thanks for your time and I understand if you don't have time :)

I, too, would like a template of the ship and the bottle. I know it's too late to use this year; but I definitely would like to use next year. Thanks ...
