I too do, SSR (Sustained Silent Reading), spelling/vocabulary activities--one that my students like is -- a clear shower curtain made to look like the key board of a computer. One student has their vocabulary/spelling words on index cards, he/she says the word and the other student uses a small stuffed frog (my room is a frog theme) to hop the correct spelling of the word. If he/she is right, then, gets to go on to next word, if misses, then the students change places. I also implement modified folder games for some of my grammar teks. One that I just completed was on contractions, my students still have difficulty with some-- especially who'd, who's, I've, she will. So I took the lower level matching folder game one step higher. After locating the pairs, the student must write sentences using each contraction he/she has chosen. This will show that me that they can construct sentences using the correct form of the contraction and hopefully this will transfer their writing. I also do reading task cards--a card with teks that gives them a specific tek to work on and complete a project. Example--read a book. Then, sequence the story into at least six (6) main events. After that, they must complete a project showing their work--a project can be a sentence strip showing sequence using clip art/their art to demonstrate sequence, or computer program called Insipration where they would make their own sequence project.

Hope this gives you some ideas. If you would like to share ideas I would be more than glad to do so.

Teaching with Smart Centers Book

by Gretchen

Jul 2, 2008

If you go to this site you can click on shopping and it should get you to her book. However, I would only use it as a spring board to get you started. You will be able to come up with so many more on your own. They are great in the classroom.
