I thought I would share a "blast" from the past project.  These bookmarks are a great way to blast them off into the fourth grade!!  I encourage my students each year at the beginning of the summer to participate in the local public library reading program.  The best part of this reading program is that it is FREE!!!  When students return to school in the Fall, they visit me and show me that they participated in the reading program-I love to give them a prize!!  I think these bookmarks will help encourage them to read over the summer and take part in the reading program.  Here are the materials used for the project:
Materials:
BLAST OFF cartridge for the Imagine-used for the rocket
LOCKER TALK cartridge used for the bookmark, star
SMILEY FACES cartridge-used for the clouds
MICKEY FONT cartridge-letters welded with the Gypsy
Peachy Keen Stamp set-Teacher Says!
Momento black ink
pink and white gel pens
string
1/2 hole punch
red, white, and yellow cardstock
Counting down to summer vacation!  I am truly going to miss my students but I know in my heart they are ready to move forward!
