Want to make sure that information you give the kids actually makes it home? Make it into a challenge! Last Wednesday, I gave out copies of the calendar for this year and told the kids that if they could go home and take a picture to prove that it made it, I would give them an extra 100 daily grade. I also told them they'd get bonus points if their picture made me LOL. I wanted them to be as creative with it as possible. Boy, they did not disappoint.
Here are a few of the stellar pictures I received:
Some even went all out and made gifs and short videos!
Last but not least, this excellent example of trolling...
Submissions were e-mailed, or messaged to me on our chorus Instagram account. I loved these pictures! Not only were they extremely entertaining, but I also learned about the kid's pets, younger siblings, interests, and just how creative they can be.
