Character Rocks: An End of Year Student Gift
3. The next step is to write the words. I came up with the adjectives for each student before starting. I like to write the words big and bold. I used a sharpie paint pen. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t paint over a few of my words for some re-dos!
5. Once it’s all dry, I brushed on a clear glaze. I’ve used a spray glaze in the past and some of the words smeared. This year I used Triple Thick at the recommendation of a Michael’s employee, and I think it was a little too thick. It worked though!
There you have it! Here are some examples of rocks created by other teachers.
These awesome super-hero rocks are by one of my teammates. He ends the year with a super-hero unit, and the kids think these are the coolest!
These are amazing with their very personalized touches.
