This year I wanted to not only decorate my room but work on organization as well. Usually I am surrounded by a mountain of papers, supplies are in several different areas and when I get overwhelmed I start stuffing the file cabinet full. Then I have to buy more supplies because I can’t find anything.
students who are not proficient in English, I have the words displayed in both English and Spanish and either a word definition or a picture illustrating the word or phrase. I had well over 100 words or phrases, but left space in case I had overlooked something. I am already making some scavenger type activities for students to complete using the definitions on the word wall.
The first one is the post-it activity that I have blogged about before. This year I asked the students to give me their definition of success, what they need to do in order to be successful and what I need to do to help them be successful.Of course, I worded the third one badly.

It begged for an inappropriate comment, or two. I got them. Even though I explained to students that I meant this to mean what I needed to do to help them be successful in class every day, they still gave me some odd answers. I expected it, and I wasn’t disappointed. Some of the answers were “twerk”, “play pokeman” “never assign any work” “watch movies” “sleep” “bring donuts”……

Everything looks great! Good luck for this coming school year!
