Its exciting that our first Teaching Ideas Tuesday launched without a hitch – I’m featuring my teaching ideas to use this week from last Tuesday’s linky party. I hope you find something fantastic that you’d like to make or teach this week as well.
These are just the top 5 teaching ideas that I had time to highlight, you’ll see many more on Teach Junkie and featured on our facebook page. So a huge thank you for those who took the time to link up their fabulous teaching ideas!
4. Autobiography Writing – This is such a generous and well thought out set of printables to teach autobiography writing. This is the perfect time of year to put these together too as part of an end-of year memory book collection. You’ll love this 30 page set from Christi. {Free download}
6. Camp Read a Lot – What a fantastic way to get your students reading {no matter what grade} by hosting a week long event of reading fun. Turn your classroom into a “Camp Read a Lot” and fill your week with different reading days, and add a little ambiance. Check out these great tips for making the end of the year fun with such a great themed reading week.
7. Poetry Roundup – Creating student based centers is one of my all time favorite things to read about. Here are 6 different centers that are all poetry related and they are complete with objectives to meet for 6th grade. This is a perfect collection and it’s all in one place {squeal} so I know you’re gonna love it. {Free downloads}
9. Ideas for a Mother’s Day Performance – Find tips on presenting, preparing and inviting moms into the classroom or school building for a Mother’s Day event. You’ll like these gift ideas as well as poem or song to sing too. Stress free and fun sounds like a good game plan to me.
10. How to Get Students to Reflect on Learning – I love this idea so much that I also featured it on our facebook page this week. I love ideas that are simple and effective. So here’s a great tip that you can use to have students reflect on their learning and see quickly who gets it and who doesn’t. Mel explains it perfectly in her quick video too. {Free download}
Are you wondering what was the most popular {or most clicked on} idea from the party was? Well… it was Using Sticky Notes as Formative Assessment.
