Makeover Madness

June 22, 2015 By Rachel

It’s been a busy week for this tall drink of water!
Between packing and moving, I was actually able to update one of my TpT products.
I am so excited to finally show you my makeover!
I already needed to update the calendars in my summer planning packet so that seemed the perfect product to start with.
 I love the simplified cover!
 Updated calendars for 2015.  The calendars will be updated every year.
 When I used this last summer, I realized I needed more space to write.
 Color makes everything better!
If you have already own this product, go download the update…now!
If you haven’t…then what are you waiting for?
It’s on sale along with the rest of my store through Monday night!

      I liked the look of your "before" product, but I love the "after" results even more! Definitely very eye-catching and seems like a practical item for many teachers who we all know are still going non-stop during the summer months 🙂

    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?!
