In the past, depending on my class, I sometimes do monthly projects on top of book reports. Much like the book reports, I send home a letter explaining the directions and assign a due date a few weeks before the projects are due. Here is a list I worked from about two years ago:
August Make You Own Name Tag (done in class on the first day)
September Design a house for the fourth little pig
October Make a money timeline (find coins with years related to life events)
November Dress the turkey
December Gingerbread house (done in class)
January NONE
February Design a box for you Valentines (done in class-students bring in box)
March Make a Leprechaun Trap
April Passports
May Passports
June NONE
Passports will be explained later in this blog. It is a super fun project and the only one I repeat year to year.
