I can't have an activity table (I don't actually have a room, but travel from school to school and work in undercover areas with fold-up tables so I have to tote everything with me every day) so I have an activity folder - it's tough finding new sheet work for the early finishers that still allows for some creativity ...

I change them out for different seasons, months of the school year. For example: October, I will draw an evening sky with clouds and crescent moon with the prompt to draw a picture of themselves trick or treating. At Christmas I draw a mitten shape and prompt them to add patterns to the mitten. New Years I draw the year in bubble numbers and let them add their own designs to the numbers and background. Sometimes it is just a shape or line and I prompt them to turn it into what ever they imagine. I put 2 -3 out each week. They are by far( next to rubbing plates ) the most popular thing on the table. I have many that I have made over the years and save one original in my file cabinet so I don't have to keep re-drawing them if I need to make more copies. The kids will also use them as a starting point for creating their own original pieces. They are welcome to use anything from the scrap box to also cut and glue. :)Mrs. Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750438627381465213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040901756770397802.post-46902754547205534992012-07-15T07:54:42.963-07:002012-07-15T07:54:42.963-07:00Thanks for sharing!

Drawing books, books to read, free draw,tesselation and symmetry stencils, rubbing plates and various imagination sheets. I rotate in and out different activities so there is always something new to do. I'm always on the look out for something new! Good luck finishing your sticks!Mrs. Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750438627381465213noreply@blogger.com
