Back to School Crafts

September 9, 2013 By Rachel

It’s time to link up with Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made-It!
I’ve been waiting to share these with y’all!  It’s a few projects I finished before school started!
#1
 I actually made this one for Rebecca from The Third Wheel during the Back to School Blogger Exchange.  I made them for my teammates too, but I forgot to take a picture of them!  I actually got this idea from Joanne at Teaching in High Heels! It was her Monday Made-It at the beginning of summer!
#2
 I put together these printables and frames to create a gallery wall behind my desk.
A closer look
#3
Crystal Light containers filled with scrapbook paper and labels to hold Popsicle sticks labeled with songs!
Be sure to stop by 4th Grade Frolics and check out all the fantastic products!

      I messed up the link.

      I LOVE your decor behind your desk – Did you create the things inside the frames?

    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

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?!
