I have my Teacher Librarians OK and the Vice Principal's OK (I had to go to her for the ok from workplace health and safety). She was excited to see that I am not only promoting literacy but numeracy as well and suggested using even more shapes. the items in italics are additional thoughts that I haven't decided upon yet.
for this project I got the cube shape off the internet and everything just fell in to place.
Each student
who reads a book is to fill in 1 square of the cube with their name and the
book they have read. Should they rate the book on a scale of 1 to
5?
One student
should NOT complete the entire cube.
When the cube is complete it will be folded
and shaped by the library volunteers.
Cubes could
be stored in laundry baskets or basket
of some sort for students to sort
through for recommendations to read.
Cubes could
be used to build a shape, such as a cube, in the library. Boys will love building things with the cubes.
At the end
of October all of the cubes will be put into a large container and 1 cube will
be drawn with all 6 students winning a prize.
We could do a draw at the end of
September as well.
Prize could
be all the same (i.e. $10.00 Chapters or movie gift card card) or there could
be 6 different prizes and the first student to show up gets to choose first,
etc. We could do a second cube draw and
each winner could get their choice of a chocolate bar.
We could
print75 pages of the cube to start giving us 450 books read and print more as
needed. OR We could print 100 pages
of the cube to start giving us 600 books read and print more as needed. Should
we print on cardstock or bond paper?
Students
would see the pile of cubes (or shape) growing which would encourage students
to read so they can get an entry in the contest.
Students may
want to read a book that someone has already recorded and recommended.
