What I’ll Miss Most of Summer {Five for Friday}

August 9, 2013 By Rachel

It’s my last official Friday of summer!  
<insert self-pity party>
Don’t get me wrong, I’m so excited about the upcoming year!  But I will miss my time off!  I’m linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching‘s 
I’m going to make it a theme by listing 5 things I’m going to miss about summer!

#1
Sleeping In
There is nothing better than when your sleep is sweet... zzzzz
If only school could start at 10:00 because this is how my mornings are going to end up…
Sleep, what's that...lol
True. Story.

#2
Pajamas found on facebook
Seriously!  It’s one of the reasons I love pajama day at school.
Pajamas my life in an e-card
#3
Lunch Dates…they’re just so perfect!

#4
Nick@Nite
friends
I laugh all the time at this show no matter how many times I’ve seen it!

#5
And last but not least…unlimited potty breaks!

You know what I’m talking about…

Happy Friday!!

      Gosh – it seems like I may have said this just the other day, but your post totally cracked me up – #5 even garnered a LOL! Today's my last day before returning to school on Monday, too – so I share in your pity party. 🙂 ~Deb

      Every one of your Five made me laugh out loud.
      My Bladder gets sooo confused during the summer that I just hold it anyway. Drives my husband nuts.

    How long is your students’ attention spans? I o How long is your students’ attention spans?
I only have about 10 minutes before I lose them! 🤪
And I don’t know about you but my lessons are typically longer…so I try to mix it up every 10 minutes with a Think-Pair-Share or some kind of movement

    6 ways to get your students participating in your 6 ways to get your students participating in your lessons!
1️⃣ Think Time - giving your students time to think about the answer keeps your over achievers from answering all the questions 
2️⃣ Movement - Stand/Sit if this is your answer
3️⃣ Turn & Talk - Everyone shares their answer with a partner
4️⃣ Hand Signals - Perfect for multiple choice questions
5️⃣ Think-Pair-Share - Combines the think time with turn & talk 
6️⃣ Repetition - repeat important information to help it stick

    Coming back from break is a lot easier than the fi Coming back from break is a lot easier than the first day of school!
Less teacher talk 🗣
More student talk 👥
1️⃣ Give your students time to catch up with each other. Even adults like to chit chat about what we did during break!
2️⃣ Review procedures by playing a fun game. Charades is a great way to act out procedures to see if other students can guess what they’re doing!
3️⃣ The halfway point of the school year is a great time for students to set goals!
What’s your favorite thing to do after a break?!
