WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: BACK-TO-SCHOOL

I am once again linking up with Miss DeCarbo @ Sugar and Spice for another Wordless Wednesday.  "In the world of teaching, a picture can say it all!"

I am back at it.  On Monday, teachers reported for Back-To-School meetings.  After a long day of working in the classroom, [Mrs. Ehle] and I decided it was necessary to spice up the workroom with a bulletin board makeover!!  …just a little way to spread some positive energy as we head back to school. 

AND, you have to love how adorable this board looks thanks to all of the fabulous products CTP has to offer. Be sure to check out some of their new, trendy products [here].

 

What do you do to improve the mood and spread positivity around your school building?!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: OUTDOOR EDUCATION

I am once again linking up with Miss DeCarbo @ Sugar and Spice for another Wordless Wednesday.  "In the world of teaching, a picture can say it all!"


Last week was Outdoor Education!!  My 6th graders and I ditched the classroom and made our way to Camp Lutherhaven for an two-day camping extravaganza.  The weather was fantastic!! 

While on our Outdoor Education adventure, we learned how to use a compass, got creative with nature, learned a bit about probability, and went on a pretty spectacular scavenger hunt.  We also enjoyed tether-ball, kickball, volleyball, night hikes, canoeing, archery, a whole lot of sunshine.  …and I SURVIVED!! 

Check back later for a post all about our trip 

to Camp Lutherhaven for Outdoor Education! 

What EXTREME field trips do you take near the end of the year?  Is any one else brave enough to take their fabulous students on an overnight adventure?  Do you know any classes that have an "outdoor education" experience?  What activities should I work into NEXT year's trip?

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: WONDERFUL WORDS

I am really excited to be linking up with Miss DeCarbo @ Sugar and Spice for my FIRST Wordless Wednesday!


Every week we learn a new Wednesday Word, a unique vocabulary word to incorporate into conversations and spot in our reading.  As they find these words in their independent reading, they can redeem them for Jolly Ranchers. *cough* BRIBERY *cough*  We LOVE Wednesday Words!!

(Yes, this student has decided to illustrate each of our Wednesday Words…)

How do you make learning new vocabulary words exciting and applicable?  Share below!!
