    Bright Ideas Round Up By Ideas By Jivey!

    Hey friends! It’s time to review the year and all the bright ideas that have been shared!

    But first, here is a new bright idea for you:
    With Ideas by Jivey
    Crates and plastic book bins! When I was in the classroom, my students were not allowed to put ANY library books (mine or the media center’s) in their desks. I didn’t want them getting torn and messed up… I mean, you have seen the way students shove things in there, right? Each student got their own book bin that always went back in the same place in or on the crate, and this book bin held their library books, as well as their reading notebook and reading folder. You’ll notice the crates are right by their tables too- this way, if they have extra time when an assignment is done, they can easily get their book without distracting others walking around the room. When it was time for reading workshop, they had everything they needed in one place to take with them to their book nooks or the guided reading table! 🙂

    I have a few in the round up, too- check them out by clicking on the images below if you missed them (or need a refresher!):

This is why teaching vocabulary in context is SO important! πŸ€“

If your students are just "looking up a list," how many of your students pick the first definition and write it down, then move on to the next word? πŸ“

Or better yet… raise your hand if you have one of *those* students who finds the SHORTEST definition of the word to write! πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ
