Shaking up my upper grade incentives by adding tin

Shaking up my upper grade incentives by adding tiny erasers, scooby snacks, jibets and the ultimate- get your desk decorated with our @sharpie oil based paint pens. The trophy 🏆 is for capturing the flag in our last class vs. class PE competition. It rotates weekly between classes based on sportsmanship, cheering friends on athleticism. The trophy sits on their desk all week with pride.

This week we researched, across multiple sources, all about a 🐩dog breed that they randomly selected. ✏️ They drafted and today was peer editing 🎶 musical chairs 🪑. This is where they met with 5 different editors and each editing round focused 🕵️‍♂️ on a specific skill: is your thesis statement clear and anchored with textual evidence, did they have a quote, correctly cited with correct punctuation, etc. The students were on task, active participants and I was so proud! 💻 Tomorrow we start creating our google cite with some help from my friend @historyfromthemiddle. Where they will start creating a portfolio of work from this year, across subjects… and maybe into their 7th and 8th grade years. #cantwait #iteachmiddles #iteach6th

Cutting out bulletin board pieces and feeling so grateful for my “new” class. This year I will be teaching almost all of the students I had during the year we were distance learning (2020/21). I’m so glad to have this gift of an opportunity to teach them in real life after having them remote- streaming into my home, hearing my dogs bark, meeting my family, delivering them desks that my family built for them. That year was so hard, but the class community we created was amazing. I can’t wait to see what we can do- from at home in 4th to IRL in 6th. LET’s GO!
