Distance Learning Compatible: This product can be downloaded as a printable PDF or copied into Google Slides. This will allow you to send the product to your students as an editable document. Download as a PowerPoint to upload to Microsoft Teams.

Terms of Use

************************************************************

How can you use these task cards?

Have the task cards available in makerspaces, centers, tubs, busy boxes, morning baskets, or available for early finishers to complete using ANY available materials. Students can even draw their creations instead of building them!
Use one card a day during morning time. Have students fill out a STEAM / STEM worksheet or discuss and use the Google Slides as a class.
Use them for public speaking practice. Allow students to build and then show and tell with the class or their parents. They can discuss what they made, liked, what they would improve, and how it solved the problem on the task cards. They can practice speaking and listening skills, using loud and clear voices, and giving full attention to the speaker. Encourage students to ask questions to their classmates.
Ideally the goal is to do one challenge a day, but you could certainly allow students to do more than one.

**********************************************************

Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?

I love silly stories that bring humor and adventure to life for kids, but also that force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose wacky stories where they are the main character. Silly scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving, and learning, are all part of the experience when building these challenges.

Most building challenge task cards are independent from each other. “Build a boat,” or “build an airplane,” are common themes among the cards. While those are fantastic, and we have done many of them ourselves, I wanted to do something different and more cohesive and engaging for kids.

The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!

**Please note that while the intent is for these to be independent, early readers may need some assistance in reading the cards.**

**This is not an editable document.**

Early Writers- Drawing Journal- Prewriting Skills- Beginning Writers

By WhatsPoppinInK

This drawing journal was created for my kindergarten students after years of students asking me how to draw people, backgrounds, etc. when we began writing. Illustrations are the basis of students writing at the early stages, and too often we as teachers assume students know how to draw. This was a total game changer in my classroom! Not only were students less frustrated, but I could devote more time to the actual writing because I was not having to help each student with their drawings. This is a MUST in any pre-k - first classroom before beginning writing! This product includes a drawing journal, tips for use and directions for each page, scope and sequence, and a drawing certificate for students. Check out the preview for an example!
