My students are investigative and creative learners. They also love to use their Leader in Me skills while completing tasks. First they will pair with up with older peers from another classroom. Then they will select a book or nursery rhyme song they want to turn into a character (this time of the year we are transforming pumpkins into characters). One of the peers will read the book or sing the song to their peer. Students will begin with the end in mind as they target a character from their story or song they want to recreate. They will synergize and collaborate with their ideas as they create the character and use supplies. Students will then work on public speaking skills as they read/sing and show their pumpkins to other grade levels. The festivities will end with a healthy Autumn snack for all. This can be used at different times of the year with different themes.
