Monday Made It

August 4, 2014 By Rachel

I’m stopping by really quick to share my Made-Its!
I needed something to go on top of my cubbies,
so I headed to Michael’s to see what I could come up with!
 I was so excited when I found these wooden boxes with the chalkboard front!
And they were 40% off plus my teacher discount!
Aren’t they adorable!!
I can’t wait to see how it looks in my classroom!
I also whipped up these bad puppies!
Birthday pencils!
The best is the pencils and foam stars came from the Dollar Spot at Target!
Easy Peasy!
Be sure to stop by Tara’s to see some other amazing Made-Its!

    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!

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?!
