Sweet Building Time with Marshmallows

10/20/2024

Time to build the highest structure you can with marshmallows and toothpicks. We learned valuable lessons - fresh mallows aren't as good and old/dry ones.  We also had to sample several marshmallows. Yum!

Every so often I'll bring in giant containers of Legos and let my students build. It's loud, messy but fun.

We decorated for Christmas and worked together to build a Christmas chain around the room.  Scholars earned links for many tasks including points on AR quizzes, completed homework, extra effort and more.  It made the last two weeks of December lots of fun.

One of the strategies I use to help students learn is using a variety of activities that appeal to various learning styles.  I also give frequent breaks and embed engaging and enjoyable "choices" as rewards for completing required work.  Sometimes we do art together but other times I allow students to go to ArtforKidsHub.com and choose their own art tutorial.  These kid-friendly videos walk them through the drawing progress.  They love it!

Back to School - Back to Fun!

Having fun is an important part of learning in my classroom.  Playdoh was given out on the first day of school and is probably the most requested activity.  My students love creating with it though sometimes it ends up on the floor.  Back to School should mean Back to Fun!

Today, most of the class showed up to our Google Meet with customized masks.  This would have been very weird a few months ago but now it's the new normal.  Room 18 scholars are looking stylish.
