This was the front board that kicked off our Nature Journaling adventure!🌿

I found short videos to better explain each career and we have been watching them any time we have 2-3 minutes.

My students have already selected their favorite job and written it next to their name on their nature journal.

The highlight of our day was spotting deer!💗I definitely got my steps in as I walked around the entire building with each of my 3 homerooms today.

They were so into nature bingo and their excitement made up for the heat.

My EL teacher and I also realized this worked so well for our newcomers and language learners because of the illustrations on the bingo cards. They were able to figure out what each square was and they talked nonstop as they participated in conversations with their peers!

The link to the nature journal I’m using is in my bio.🌿

Today was the 1st day of our post-testing schedule and the students LOVED it!💗

They were deep into predicting and inferring with our podcast, made scientific observations and diagrams with our nature journal, and dove into their roles for book club.

I had kids in each homeroom express their excitement for our new schedule and it made all the planning and prepping worth it!

I think we’re going to have a fun, smooth end of the year.💗

This year I used a new method of tracking our goal

This year I used a new method of tracking our goals as a class and it ended up being one of my favorite class management tools I’ve tried.

At the beginning of the month, I would set a goal for my homerooms and they would earn stickers on their class sheet as they met the goal daily.

Some months our goal would be 30 second transitions, others it would be kindness, often it was work habits, effort, or following directions.

Every class with a full sheet by the end of the month earned a reward day.

In April, students earned the reward day independently by completing their entire reading test prep sticker sheet.

Let me know if you have any May reward ideas I could try out!

Keeping up with building community keeps behaviors

Keeping up with building community keeps behaviors down and keeps kids from checking out for summer when it’s still WEEKS away. (😭 I hope you’re out before me- June 15)

Anyway…

Here are some ways I keep the engine running and stick to a routine.

Drop a number in the comments if there’s one you’d like to hear more about.

Don’t be shy, let us know how you keep your class community thriving until summer!☀️

Flashback Friday📓 I’ve always loved a good interactive notebook, but I used to be in deep.🤣

I’ve kept most of my notebooks from over the years and use them for ideas from time to time.

Do you use interactive notebooks?

3 ways I can see myself using this 3D printer in t

3 ways I can see myself using this 3D printer in the classroom ⭐️

1⭐️ Fidgets- There were so many fidget toy templates on the site. I could definitely see having students groups explore the site to pick their favorite fidget and then voting to select one to print and add to our breakfast club fidget bin🍳

2⭐️ Characters- Students would love to print their own characters to write about at story time or a class mascot.

3⭐️ Diorama- There were so many animal templates inside the online library. My team loves a good project and this would be a cool way to add some tech to our habitat dioramas.

⭐️Bonus- Students could earn or join a lunch STEAM club and create their own project ideas for using the printer.

Thank you SO much @scholasticbookclubs for the coolest addition to my classroom. 💗

If you’re interested in adding a 3d printer to your class, you can check out more @scholasticbookclubs

⭐️I’m always looking for new ideas, let me know how you would/do use a 3d printer with your students!
