----------------------------------------------------------------
How can you use these task cards?
⭐Have the task cards available in makerspaces, centers, tubs, busy boxes, morning baskets, as a reward, or available for early finishers to complete using ANY available materials. Students can even draw their creations instead of building them!
⭐Use one card or slide a day during morning time. Have students fill out a STEAM / STEM worksheet or slide, and discuss 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 that also 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 completing these challenges.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!
**Please note that early learners may need some assistance from parents or teachers in reading the challenges.**

BACK-TO-SCHOOL LETTERS FROM THE TEACHER:
- This back-to-school product includes a letter that teachers can send home to parents and a letter that teachers can send home with students (each letter contains a different message).
- The letter to parents comes with a boy, girl, and gender-neutral version (the pronouns are changed throughout the letter). This letter has three color background options and the corresponding backgrounds and clip art in black and white. Including all versions of the parent letter (gender, color, black and white), there are 12 pages.
- The letter to students comes with three color background options and the corresponding backgrounds and clip art in black and white. Including all versions of this letter, there are six pages. Note: This letter does not require gender options since the teacher uses the pronouns "you" and "I" throughout the letter.
- THE BODY OF THESE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE! All versions of each letter have editable text boxes in the Greeting Field and the Signature Field. You can edit these two places on each letter if you choose. If you'd like to print the letters as is, you may write in the student's name and your own signature. Just for reference, the font is Miss Kindergarten by Kimberly Geswein and the size is 14.
- BOTH LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I have NOT copied a letter that I found online and retyped it. This is important because you may want to mix things up and send a new letter home this year.... none of your parents will have seen this one (at least in 2016, as it was created in June 2016).
