Something old...something new!
Reading
Write letters, words, numerals, shapes, or anything you want to reinforce on windows or mirrors.
*Let children wear sunglasses and identify the information with a pointer.
Writing
Let children practice writing letters, numerals, spelling words, etc. on classroom windows.
* How about rainbow writing? Make giant letters, shapes, words, etc. on windows. Children can take the markers and trace around the figures with different colors.
Reward
Use these as a reward or when children finish their work early.
Reminders
Use the classroom mirror as a message board to write words of encouragement, reminders, or to celebrate accomplishments.
Special Days
Let children decorate classroom windows for holidays, seasons, themes, or other special events.
Brainstorm!
Write a word or theme and invite children to add their own thoughts to the window.
Sign In
Children can write their name or a special message when they come to school each morning.
Graffiti
What an open-ended art center this could be throughout the year!
Note! You could even have “window washer” as a classroom job. I found it was best to wipe off the marks with a wet towel before using a window cleaner.
