Episode 67 - 3 Ways to Finish the School Year Meaningfully
Manage episode 364071387 series 3444579
May is one of those months that is long and fast at the same time. Somehow everything falls into this month as a teacher and in our personal life.
As the school year is nearing its end, there are a lot of moving parts for us teachers to consider. From grading, to paperwork, to somehow engaging the students who are seeming to get a bit antsy.
It is easy to get lost in all of it, so in this episode I want to share a few ways that can make those last few weeks of school meaningful. All of them involve creativity, which is the perfect antidote to boredom and frustration, and can be tweaked to any age group and proficiency level.
I want to share three activities that will continue those creative juices flowing and will allow you and the students to see how far you have come throughout the school year.
What you will hear about in this episode:
- Keeping our relationships with our students strong
- Structure in the classroom will make for a much smoother transition to summer
- Using quotes to connect to the school year
- Writing letters to incoming students
- Using Flip (formally Flipgrid) as a speaking assignment to help the student become more confident in what they are saying
