Storing student work all year long can be a PAIN! Filing can take forever and by 2nd quarter those tiny little file folders are exploding with work! I've also tried folding a long piece of constriction paper in half but those don't hold up for very long. This year I've started using paper grocery bags and gallon ziplock bags and I have a good feeling about it!

Ziplock bags can help you organize within the bag.
|
Right now I'm using the ziplock bags for work that the students have chosen as their best work. But I'm already thinking that I can also use ziplock bags to organize work by quarters or subjects!
I also feel that this is a bit easier for students to file their own work!
Okay I've got a promise to keep!
In my first blog post I said my goal was to find more ways to make math fun. As I was looking at the labels for my blog so far I saw NOTHING for math yet. Boy am I slacking. Well we have been doing some fun things in math I promise! Here's one activity we did last week to review place value...
 |
| Each kiddo gets a random amount of base ten blocks on their desk. They count their blocks and write their number on their desk with a dry erase marker (it will remove easily with a wet paper towel or sometimes I use baby wipes). After everyone writes their number I set the timer for 15 seconds and they have that long to find a new desk. |
 |
| They recount the blocks at the new desk they are at. If they agree with the number that's on the desk they sign their name. |
 |
If they disagree, they cross out the number that's there and write what number they counted.
|
This is a quick little review idea that gets students up and moving. Great for students when they need a break after sitting for awhile! Well there you go my first math post! Hopefully my first of many:)
