by beanie

Apr 2, 2011

I usually bring along an end of a day reward for a class if they have a good day. What kinds of games, activities, etc. would motivate 5th graders to have a good day? What would they enjoy doing as an end of day reward? Thanks!

Jim O My principal makes a big deal (and I agree) that any games we play should be of the academic variety. With that said, I don't have enough computers for my class, so I depend on some math games. There are tons out there, but I've been using the card games from the positive engagement project since spring break. Easy to teach, materials are a deck of...See More

I have a pretty good idea of some of the things I would like to try, but would love to hear other ideas....See More

Picking up State Tests in the Morning Procedure

by Testy

Apr 15, 2011

Three questions about the procedures of state testing at your school:

First question: How many minutes before school starts do you have access to the state tests?

Second question: Are you alone with the state tests in the morning, or is there a proctor with you before school starts?

Third question: Are you alone with t...See More

judy5ca with a funny one Well, it was funny to me:

The last day of testing I lined the kids up intending to walk the tests and kids over to the office, where I'd leave the tests, and then we'd all go out to the playground as I had yard duty. One of my 5th grade boys looked at the box of tests and politely asked, "Would you like me to carry that for you?" "Sure," I...See More

dan4thgr I looked at book wizard and found roughly 40 books on the Oregon Trail. Go to bookwizard.scholastic.com and put Oregon Trail in the quick search and then narrow from there. This is my favorite find-a-book site, easy and free

dan4thgr Since you teach music, the academy awards show the teacher in this blog does at the end of the year might be changed into the Grammy awards and be held in the day, not night. This will give them plenty of fun work to do, plus have them focus on what they have learned about music and themselves. Might work for you.
