Social Studies Lesson Plans

Family Glyph

We are working on "families" in social studies and making a glyph is at the math center.

I wrote out a list of steps for the kids to follow as they make their glyph. They are making a house.

These are some of the steps I made up:
If you are_____ years old make a _________color house.
If you have a sister or sisters make a ______color roof (brother or brothers, if you are an only child)
If you are in first grade make an orange door.
Make one yellow window for each member of your family.
Make a tree for each pet you have.
Put a walkway if you like math.
Put a chimney if you like to read.

I drew little pictures next to each line so the early readers can get it too.
At that center I have all the construction paper they need and they bring their own scissors and glue.

These come out so cute. I think that you can assess so much from these. Fine motor skills, following directions, sequencing, spatial relations, organizational skills.
