During our second to last week together, I taught my fourth and fifth grade students about the principles of collage (a topic covered in their creative arts curriculum). Using recycled materials, each student created their own calendar. I used the process of making calendars as an authentic assessment of their ability to correctly spell and order the days of the week. Measurement (a math topic in fourth grade) was also essential to creating a beautiful well-organized calendar. Students had to correctly measure the boxes for their calendar using directions that were given in English. This fun project also helped us review topics that were soon to be included on their third term exam including months, seasons, and days of the week. Check out what the students made!
