Attitude & Interests Reading Survey
The Perfectly Organized
Desk I
made this poster to give my third grade students a visual reminder of how they
can best organize their desks. Once
their desks were organized, it allowed for more instruction time and less
frustration for the students. I did a
random daily desk check; if that student’s desk was organized, s/he
would get to use my over-sized teaching pencil to fill out their homework
assignment sheet at the end of the day.
Ask
students to give one example of how they could demonstrate respect. Compile the student responses and create
three categories with specific examples.
On the bulletin board students move the Post-It note with their name
to a different category to show what form of respect they will focus on. Have students
reflect and change weekly.
During
transition or free time, students can write any question on a slip of paper
and drop it in the “Ask the Teacher” box. Present a few answers each day or as time
fillers. You can write the answers on
the back of the question slip and tape them to a vertical surface in the classroom
for students to check back on if they like.
Students will ask many impressive, inquisitive questions!
I made these posters so students would have a visual for various
animal walks that increase proprioception. Proprioception
activities push the muscles that work.
Any activity that makes the student work against effort or resistance
increases sensory input through the muscles or joints. Proprioceptive
activity is a great way to calm students down or make them more alert.
Interactive
Sight Word Bulletin Board The
students will correctly show they can identify sight words by matching each
sight word with its corresponding picture.
The students will form complete sentences using the sight word cards at
the bottom of the board. “Molly’s Pilgrim: A Family Heritage & Bullying
Unit” (Nov – Dec 2006) I created and implemented an exciting, hands-on,
exploratory unit for my third grade student teaching classroom on pilgrims,
family heritage, and bullying. The
lessons incorporated Bloom’s Taxonomy, as well as the multiple
intelligences. Lessons were also
differentiated as our classroom contained both English Language Learners and
Gifted students.
To kick-off this exciting month-long unit, I surprised the
students by coming into the classroom as a lost Polish traveler, frantically
asking the students, in Polish, where I
should go!
Students enjoyed hearing and learning a few Polish phrases!
Sharing my Polish heritage!
