Fun Friday Activities

from Create Your Balance with Literacy: K-2 Teachers · host Kara M. Rickman

Did you know you can have 4 Fun Friday Activities with your students and still have purposeful lessons? Fun Friday doesn’t have to be daunting. It can be something that you can do consistently each Friday, and it’s something that your students can look forward to! I know that some principals might not allow you to have Fun Friday if your Fun Friday consists of extra recess, play-do, games, and such, so here’s my Fun Friday schedule that is purposeful, and all of these activities follow your standards for sure! My 4 Fun Friday Activities that I like to do with my students are: 1.) What Are We Looking FORWARD To- where my students tell what they are looking forward to during Morning Meeting. 2.) FOCUS POETRY– Have a poem a week that we can sing or read, and have your students visualize their poem in their poetry notebook. 3.) FACT FLUENCY– where my students practice their fact fluency for addition/subtraction using their data folder. 4.) FAHRENHEIT FRIDAY– where my students take part in an experiment/investigation about the science topic that we are covering during the week. Show Notes with Pictures! Connect with Me!
