TRAVEL
By ~EJ

I have done this before: Cover your board with a map(s) (city, state, whatever)for the background. Photocopy the front of one of your novels or stories for your grade, a multiplication fact card (or whatever appropriate
for your grade), vocabulary words (2 or 3 printed on a card) or whatever. Put these on the board. Then get premade (or make your own) cars in different colors. Write each child's name on a car. Put them like they are "traveling" over the board. Title it "Traveling Through ___Grade".
Reading Destinations: Have precut sheets to make Destination Booklets. After a child reads a book,

they have to fill out the sheet (with predetermined questions: Where did your story take place, who were the characters, etc.) Then create booklets to see "where" the students went. OR make it into a b.b. by having them illustrate a sheet of "where they went". Hope that makes sense.
