Wake Up Your Brain: March

(0)
While working on Wake Up Your Brain, your students will be enhancing their problem solving, common sense, and inquisitive thinking skills. Teachers: -Do Wake Up Your Brain first thing in the mornings! -The Wake Up Your Brain Grid Page (slide 1) is clickable. Simply click a photo you want the students to do, then it will go to that photo. -Project the photo on the board or wall. -The students will write their answers with dry erase markers on their desks (or dry erase boards) so this will be completely paperless. -The class will discuss their answers after most are finished! There are five key components to Wake Up Your Brain. Solve Problems Ask Questions Build Inferences Make Connections Construct a Plan Solve Problems: Students will look for any problem that MIGHT could occur in the picture. Then students will solve that “problem.” Ask Questions: After studying the picture, students will ask questions about things they want to know. Then students will determine a way they could hypothetically learn the answers to these questions. Build Inferences: Students will study the picture and write three inferences about the picture. Then students will write something they DO NOT know about the picture. Make Connections: The students will connect the picture to their life in some way. Construct a Plan: Students can change ONE thing in the picture. What will they change and how will they change it? If students have trouble, just tell them to do the best they can! We are practicing our thinking and there is no “right” answer!

Teaching the different types of poetry can be hard! I have the hardest time finding resources to teach my kids about Lyrical, Narrative, Humorous, and Free Verse Poems. I cannot find the right poems, or poems with questions, etc. I have created a product to help with that issue! In this product, you will find and entire lesson (or even unit) on teaching about these 4 types of poetry! Included: All Four Types of Poems Include: –Anchor Chart/Student Journal Page (with original sample poem and criteria for each poem.) –Task Cards (with a checklist) and a sample poem. Includes answer keys. –Comprehension Checks (include another original poem, comprehension questions, and answer keys!) The students will love these new and original poems, the task cards, questions, and learning about all of these different types of poems!

Have you ever envied the math teachers that get to do all of the fun hands-on lessons? I know I have! Being departmentalized, I always miss the hands-on experiences from Math and Science. I am bringing Hand-On Reading (The Bundle) to you! Skills Included: Main Idea Summary Author’s Purpose Sequence Cause and Effect Character Traits Text Features Compare/Contrast Inference Point of View Included in Each Skill: -THREE levels of task card passages. (2nd, 3rd, and 4th) -Instructions for the students. -Instructions and Pictures for the teacher. -Rubric included on the task card for easy assessment of mastery. What is Hands-On Reading? Reading lessons that will allow students to read a passage, construct a graphic organizer with their hands and some simple supplies, then complete their graphic organizer. All supplies are reusable so you are not wasting the supplies. The kids will be highly engaged and will love working with their hands. Building the graphic organizers also makes the graphic organizer more meaningful to the students.

Life-Size Board Game Bundle

5 Resources
We all know that engaging students is important. But do you ever struggle with unique ways to engage your students? I know I do. One night, while laying in bed, I came up with a fun idea for teaching certain concepts. Life-Size Game Boards. Pretty cool huh? To make this happen, you will need to do a little prep. However, it will be very worth it! Make sure you have large dice, cups and the board game tiles. (I linked my affiliate links for these in the preview and the actual product if you need them!) Print the clip art people, laminate and cut them out. Using binder clips, clip them to the cups. (See example pictures.) Lay out the game board tiles in any formation that looks like a game board. Print, cut and laminate the question cards. Use masking tape or packing tape, tape the cards to the tiles. Edit the cards (the students will draw a word from the pile each turn) to match the words you need. Students will roll ONE die, draw a card, and do the task on the board. If the student lands on a blank square, have them choose any task on the board to do. If the student gets it correct, they stay on the board. If the student misses, they go back to the beginning! First student to the end wins! I have done these games before, just not on a life-size game board until now! I just love it! The game cards (not the game squares) are editable. Games Included: Vocabulary Character Traits Text Features Poetry Comprehension EDITABLE Version
