Construction Rock Your School Day

2/27/2021

0 Comments

 
Rock Your School Day is a fun day to join thousands of educators from around the world as you ROCK YOUR SCHOOL! The movement encourages educators to join in the movement to create an outside-the-box experience for students and staff. Themes can vary, but the captivation is key!  We chose to capture our students attention this year with a construction themed day!

This was their welcome to the construction zone!

Teachers were dressed in our construction gear, ready to rock our school! We're blessed to have amazing teachers and staff that are willing to go the extra mile to make the day exciting for our kids.

We borrowed traffic cones from the county to line the hallways and printed plenty of construction signs for the walls.

Starting our day

Once students settled into the classroom, they got another surprise. A local excavating company gifted them each their own construction helmet to wear on our special day!

Our cafeteria staff went completely above and beyond to make the kids' day special!  The day wouldn't be complete without a toolkit lunchbox and tasty treats; the kids really liked taking home their own toolbox at the end of the day.

Students BUILT thier own ice cream sundaes in the cafeteria to celebrate and take a little break from the days work! This was definitely my favorite part of the day! 
Check out this staff lunch!  What a fun surprise from our cafeteria staff!  Our principal made a cookie delivery, too!

We even got a visit from some local construction workers. The kids enjoyed checking out the machines and equipment and see how helpful our community helpers can be. 

Construction writing and literacy

Picture
During writing time, we wrote about what we would build if we were construction workers and completed a simple craft to go with it.

The kids worked so hard on these.  I just LOVE this hallway display! This craft pack is available for download, and multiple writing prompt choices are included.

Construction Book and LIteracy Activity for Kindergarten

Picture
Our fun read aloud for the day was Little Excavator by Anna Dewdney! It was such an adorable story to read on this special day. She is the same author that writes the Llama Llama books! My kids love her !  After reading, I passed a little clump of "dirt" to each student.  When they were opened, little clumps of "dirt" (Whoppers) were inside, along with a letter!  Once students found their matching uppercase/lowercase letters, they ate their treats.  Then we made CVC words with the letters and wrote them on dry-erase boards.

Stem activities

Picture
For some fun STEM activities, we "played" in the dirt. We matched objects to letters written on brown paper and build structures or words out of marshmallows and toothpicks! 
Picture
Picture
We also guessed which material would build the tallest structure and then tried out our hypotheses! Some kids were surprised to see that they were right!

We had such an amazing day and can't wait to celebrate our next Rock Your School Day adventure!
