Poster Perfect
Create a “Movie Style” poster to advertise your favorite summer reading selection. Include the title, author, picture(s), and main characters. Be sure to include a “hook” to attract readers to your book.
You’re the chef!
Create a healthy snack for your family. Write a recipe along with the nutritional facts.
Time to Build
Your mission is to build a structure or design an invention that must include, but is not limited to, 3 index cards, toilet or paper towel roll, 4 paper clips, and a cup. Bring your structure in or take a picture to share with the group in the fall.
Create your own activity. This is your time
to shine.
Summer Scientist Wanted
Conduct an experiment. Be prepared to share what you did, what you thought would happen, and what actually happened. Method of presentation is up to you. (Not just orally.)
Picture This
Make a collage of your summer. You may use any materials you want-pictures, words, postcards, material, shells, sand, flowers … Remember that you are the artist.
“Note Worthy”
Do something musical. Write a song,
choreograph a dance, compose a musical score for an instrument, or learn about a past or present composer. Consider filming your performance. Think of including others in your performance.
Write a review of your favorite summer trip or activity. Use your persuasive skills to encourage others to enjoy this activity or trip. Be creative in your presentation!
(Ex. Amusement park, pool, beach, vacation spot, family activity …)
