Onomatopoeia

Alex has a third grade hat parade next week. In order to prepare, he was given a vocabulary word. He had to make a sign, write on an index card, and create a hat that represented his given word.
Alex's vocab word was onomatopoeia. We had so much fun discussing an appropriate way to create an onomatopoeia hat. I grabbed a hat at the dollar tree. (He wasn't thrilled that I didn't get a fancier hat) We found examples of onomatopoeia online and we printed it out on card stock. The words were added to the hat band and on pipe cleaners, sticking out of the hat. Alex added glitter glue for some extra bang! (get it?) 

He was very proud of his creative work and I am too. I enjoy watching his creative side come out during educational projects.
