It's Here, Friends....Our May Choice Board!

 

It's here, friends!  Our May Choice Board where reading, learning, making, coding, technology and music can take you on adventures all month long. 

This month, the choice board is filled with so many new and exciting things!  I can't wait to share it with our students, teachers and families, and all of you. 

You will find the Our May Choice Board here to share with students.  And if you would like to make changes or additions, you can make a copy to edit here.

There are also several choice boards embedded.  

Under the Learn about celebrate special events in May column, there are two including...

...the Cinco de Mayo Choice Board that you will find here in this post and...

...Star Wars Day...May the 4th Be With You Choice Board that you will find here in this post. 

Under the Read column, I have created a choice board for Children's Book Week on May 5-11, 2025.  You will find it here in this post. 

I hope you and your students have a wonderful May and lots of fun exploring all of the choice boards this month.   

Let's Celebrate May the 4th All Week Long With This Choice Board For Creating, Exploring, Learning, Coding, & Fun!

                

This week we are celebrating May the 4th....Star Wars Day! 

On this day, there are lots of exciting, educational, creative and fun ways to celebrate.  We tie in lots of STEAM, art, coding, reading and learning online to this day and throughout the week. 

To kick off our celebration, I created this choice board, Let's Celebrate Star Wars Day With This Choice Board. You will find the link to share with students here.   

If you would like to make a copy to edit, you can get a copy here. 

I also made a version that includes space and planets articles from PebbleGo and PebbleGo Next so our students can research and learn about these topics for Star Wars Day. 

You will find this version with PebbleGo to share with students here.  You can make edits to this choice board here.  If you have PebbleGo and PebbleGo Next, you will want to add links to those articles. 

In addition to the choice boards, we are going to set up different stations and activities for our students.  Here are some of the resources we are going to use.  

The Anthony Herrera Designs site has amazing Star Wars Snowflakes. 

You can download the snowflake patterns so students can create their own.  You will find the site here.

The Star Wars Day May The 4th Be With You site has lots of special resources and information too. You can visit it here. 

I love the cooking and...

...craft activities.  

And this Star Wars Day Activity Kit is packed full of games, recipes and more!  You will find it here.

I hope you have fun planning a Star Wars Day Celebration for your community.  I can't wait to see what you and your students have planned.
