Okay, this is fun.  There are so many things you can do.  Growing up what we did was play spin the bottle, truth or dare, light as a feather heavy as a board, give each other manicures, paint toenails.  If you have a fire you can each write something that you want to be free of, like an old boyfriend, on a piece of paper and throw it in the fire (parent supervision).  This is fun because it makes you feel free.  Lip sink to your favorite songs and pretend you are the singer.  You can make God boxes- these are decorated boxes that you can keep in your room and put notes in when something is bothering you.  It's like you are turning your problems over to God or your higher power.  You can make these out of tissure boxes or shoe boxes.  It's good to share secrets, make cards for each other, assign everyone a secret pal and have them make a card for that person.  You can get a big tub of ice cream, cookies, and pig out.  Some people even play with tarot cards or give each other future predictions.  When someone is asleep you can put their bra in the freezer or you can dip someones hand in warm water while they sleep, this will make them have to pee.  We would also go through the persons closet and help them match cute outfits and show them what looks good on them.  Have fun and remember to not target anyone with mean things.  That's not cool.

Try these steps: \n\n1. Look around you and see if there's an object with interesting helpful, funny or valuable technical features. \n\nThese lists helped me figuring out ideas:\n\nhttp://www.speech-topics-help.com/demonstration-speech-topics.html\nhttp://www.speech-topics-help.com/expository-speech-topics.html\nhttp://www.speech-topics-help.com/visual-aid-speech-topics.html\n\n2. Show how the object works, demonstrate the steps, tell and show what you can do with it, how it is made and why you want have chosen it.\n\n3. And - to keep them awake - let them try the features themselves. React on their comments and questions!

I would make a border from paper dolls cut out from many different colors.  Then I would find pictures of groups of kids of varied ethnic groups working together.  I would cut out the word for "hello" or "friend" in several different languages.  In the middle or as a back drop I would have a lightened picture of the statue of liberty with the poem about "Give me your tired..." darkened and highlighted.  Thanks, this was fun!!!

turn over your ENTIRE house, and before you start, pray to God, our father above.\n\nTHIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TOO!\n\nI lost my Ancient Egypt project - 375 POINTS!!!\n\nI thought I was going to die, and I told my teacher. She trusted me, and let me have the time to do it over again, but I did the original project REALLY well, so I flipped over my entrire house, with a 5 minute break every 15 minutes to pray - AND I FOUND IT!\n\nP.S. - Maddie?

IMO, it should be play with a purpose.  Look for a program that has some structure in terms of what happens throughout the day, but that gives him lots of opportunities to explore, play, and be creative.  Look at the art projects... do they actually look like the kids have been playing and creating or has the teacher cut out a bunch of pieces and then instructed each child precisely how to glue them together (we called them "pat-pat projects" because all the kids did was pat-pat the pieces to make them stick).  Do the kids get lots of sensory experience or do the teachers avoid things like playdough, finger painting, sand, and water because they are too messy?  \n\nIf they work on letters and number, do they do them in fun, creative ways or do they do tons of worksheets?  At this age, they should be playing more than doing seat work.  Honestly, learning the rules of getting along with other children, waiting for your turn, how to wait in line, how to wash hands and put away toys and trash, how to hang up coats and backpacks... those are the skills they need to be working on at 3.  A little academic instruction at 4 is great but even at 4 it should be done through play and exploration.

Give them resources to use to create with.  Give them paints, talk to them about there ideas, play imaginary games with charecters they come up with or at least name, give them instraments and music lessons and see if any of these areas spark interest in them.

Check out this link. They list a few videos which might be really interesting for that age group.\nhttp://www.travelvideostore.com/product_info.php?cPath=97_113&products_id=4810\n\nThis web quest is also good!\n\nhttp://www.iwebquest.com/egypt/ancientegypt.htm\n\n\nAlso check out the link below for The Magic School Bus site This is an interactive site on archeology. Great for grade 4!\n\nhttp://www.scholastic.com/magicschoolbus/tour/tour.htm?archeology

seems like you would have no problem finding this (as this information is prolific on the net) if you were really studying Egyptology. Given the scope of your question, I would say go to worldbook online and start there, like I tell my 6th grade students to do.

I'm a student, but my favorite way to learn math involved making it a more tangible subject.  I want to see what I'm learning.  Can you think of any hands on activities that relate to the subject?  For instance, when learning vectors, have students make a square jello mold and put skewers in as the x, y, and z axis.  Then add more skewers to represent vectors.  You can also hold up a sheet of extra wide graph paper behind the cube or put Nerd candy balls in it before it completely sets to represent points. \n\nI'm not sure what concepts you are teaching so I can't give relevant examples but some other off the wall ones that I've heard are: \n\n- creating jingles for statistics\n\n- getting students to use their arms to show equations of lines (x=y, parabola, etc...personally I hated this one, but I did learn it if only to make the teacher stop making me do it!)\n\n- game shows with groups battling each other -- set up groups of at least 4 and display the problem on an overhead projector. Give each team a piece of paper and tell them to write the answer on the board when they think they have it.  Give bonus points to the team who gets the most questions correct in the shortest period of time.  Also, try to choose the groups yourself and match higher performing students with lower performing ones, but don't let the same student put up all the answers.  A spinoff is a Jeopardy game for concepts (What is the name of the horizontal axis?)\n\nThere are several articles on this subject:\nHelping Teachers to Encourage Talented Girls in Mathematics.\nM. Katherine Gavin; Sally M. Reis; Teaching and Counseling Gifted Girls.; 2005;  p. 147-167 \n\nTurner, Julianne C; Meyer, Debra K; Cox, Kathleen E; Logan, Candice; DiCintio, Matthew; Thomas, Cynthia T. Creating contexts for involvement in mathematics. [References]. [Journal; Peer Reviewed Journal] Journal of Educational Psychology. Vol 90(4) Dec 1998, 730-745. \n\nIf you are interested in acquiring a copy of the Turner article, email me through the link in my Answers' profile, and I will send it to you.

Type up a mock day-schedule. Include things like Ice-breakers to learn student names, review what the students did over the summer, review what they learned last year...things of that nature. Make it colorful. If you want to go all out, make a colorful poster with everything on it.

You could do a presentation about their art. There is quite a bit information and pictures on the site listed below.

You don't need somebody to tell you how to do it. Use your imagination, only you can make something unique, and interesting.\n(a.k.a., do you own homework)

search on the net for uses and photos . then you can use hand made paper for pasting the material onto. you can decorate the first page by writing the topic with glitter or beads this would surely make your assignment attractive . plz try to print directly on the hand made paper it will look nice .
