How great would this be to create about your subject, grade level, a specials teacher, etc? A great closing activity! I used to have my students FILL an 8 1/2 sheet of copy paper full of all the things we’d learned cumulatively from the past year. they could use their books, their journals, etc. I’d […]
Have each student, on a sheet of notebook paper create different scrabble tiles. Then, go outside and play team scrabble! You can do a theme version, a nouns only, or verbs only version…best adjective wins a prize! So easy and so fun! Tile-y, Amber
Have you let your students create something this year? Have they had the opportunity to show off their high thinking skills? I loved 5th grades angry bird’s animal adaptations that they have up right now. It took something that students enjoy and allowed them to create an adapted animal. Remmeber that our fab fifth graders
A balloon pop is a cute idea for students to do at the end of the year serving as a countdown. Each student writes a reward/activity that they would like to do. Then they turn them into you and you can pick the ones you want to do inside a balloon and blow them up.

We’ve added almost $11, 000 dollars in materials to our classrooms….which is INCREDIBLE. From parents to family friends to district support…it all started with Donor’s Choose
Mrs.Bennet came down this week SO excited about a spelling activity that she had done with her students. QR codes have taken Luna by storm and we’ve seen some great lessons by both teachers and students. Primary students can be difficult, I know some teachers are hesitant to let the little ones get their hands

Our test that shall not be mentioned is a’coming. (yes, the STAAR test…dum da dum dum…) It will be here in just 4 school days. Think teachers are panicking? Think they are stressed? Nahhhhh….not these Lions! Ventured down to 5th grade today to see how they were all doing. Came upon Mrs. Rapp’s reading class
