Summer is flying by and we are already thinking about the first week back to school. We love coming in with a plan and this new BTS craft and writing activity is perfect to schedule in for the first days of the school year.
Not only have we included writing prompts which makes this a useful tool in getting an idea of the writing levels of your students, but we’ve also included border options so the trucker hat crafts that students create can transition into a beautiful bulletin board! Look how cute!
We are LOVING the trucker hat trend and knew we wanted to to create a craft that utilized this trend. Students are able to create their own unique trucker hat with different patches that are included in thte craft. We used Astro-bright paper, but students can color their own hats or you can use bright, bold colored paper as well. Once students have created their trucker hat, teachers have the options for different differentiated writing lines or a blank space under the hat to use for a writing prompt. This would be a great first writing sample to put in a student portfolio once it comes down from the BTS bulletin board!
Since trucker hats are so popular right now, we are truly thinking this back to school craftivity will work for all elementary grade levels. Kinder and 1st graders can write a simple sentence for their writing prompt or just color a picture. Middle elementary grades will be able to brainstorm with their teacher their dreams and aspirations for this year and even upper elementary grades won’t be too cool for this trendy craft! So teachers, put up the bulletin board borders and letters and then you will ready to display the first craft of the year when school starts! Get ahead of the game and take the pressure off the first week with this adorable trucker hat craft and writing!
