My classroom theme this year is Monuments Around the World.
I made seven signs that hang up above my tables. They are color coded so I can call a table by color, and they each feature a famous monument...so I can also call the
Eiffel Tower table. Using something besides the color to call a table switches it up a bit, and creates teachable moments. In the past I have used
artist names, works of art, planets, sea creatures, and even zoo animals!
In conjunction with my signs - I put together this super basic
PowerPoint that displays each table color and sign, and then lists a few facts about the monument. It has been a good introduction to the monuments and the kids have been receptive to learning about their team sign.
