Glow Day!

-

Glow Day has quickly turned into our favorite day of the year! It's an opportunity to amp up the fun and engagement for ANY content area. We were inspired by Hope King and heavily relied on experience from @AdventuresofMsSmith. After researching how they pulled off a glow day, we took some of their ideas and made it our own. We hope YOU do the same as well! So we started with a Teachers Pay Teachers pack of Glow Day math centers from @AdventuresofMsSmith . Her Instagram highlights helped this process tremendously. We also gathered inspiration from Hope King's blog post on her Glow Day.  We also have Instagram Highlights if you'd like to see videos detailing how we pulled off each station and gathered materials to make this possible! These Glow Day game station ideas can really be used in a lot of ways and for any subject matter. We started with her pack and then added a couple stations of our own to make the day cross curricular. Once these supplies are purchased and the

                      A few years ago, I saw Miss 5th's idea for a March Madness book tournament and LOVED it! I decided to adapt her idea and use it in my 4th grade classroom as well! It has become a hit every year and one of our favorite things to look back on! In this post, I'll detail how I incorporate it in my classroom and I'll also link Miss 5th's pack about the tournament on Teachers Pay Teachers.           On the first day of March when students walk into my classroom, they'll hear "Are You Ready For This?!" playing with the lights off (Double Teamed vibes anyone?!). I'll have some fancy lights on and sometimes I'll bring in a basketball to dribble. We have to set the mood! This is what gets them bought in from the very beginning! Once their curiosity is peaked, and they're wondering what is going on, I introduce them to the March Madness Book Tournament!  The Sweet 16          Each student picks a book to enter into the tournament.

Class Jobs

 Class Jobs- Saving Teacher's Time Every Year      One of the best kept secrets to classroom management (and teacher sanity) is student jobs. Something taking you too much time? Make it a student job. Don't have the patience to do something trivial? Make it a student job. Can't ever remember to do something? Make it a student job. The best part is... students LOVE it! They feel a sense of ownership over the classroom and gain experience with real life situations. Logistics     We have students fill out job applications at the beginning of every quarter. Check out the job applications we use by clicking here! We go over all of the jobs and job descriptions so students know what they're applying for. They apply for three jobs at a time, in order of preference, and give reasons why they'd be good at those jobs. They are allowed to put down one job that they absolutely DO NOT want as well.      We try our best to fulfill everyone's wants, and take their reasons and
