Bulletin board envy?
What a fun way to display student classwork with a flair! These papers entitled, Trapped in a snow globe help our students to be creative writers.
Donuts?
If you had perfect attendance or made the A/B honor roll, we celebrated these accomplishments with donut holes! Just one more way that PBS helps motivate our kids!
Small groups!
What do you do in your small groups? Is it the same thing every week? Do you look ahead and point out words that could be troublesome for our students? Are you progress monitoring weekly?
Quote from Former Indiana Teacher of the Year, Stacy McCormack
Inspire young people to dream beyond their backgrounds--to reach beyond whatt they think they can accomplish and to learn to have faith in their own abilities. When you succeed in any one of these things, pause for a moment, take a deep breath, and realize that you have just changed the trajectory of a young person's life....and thus the world.
