I like your idea. Normally I do a Friday "If you were paying attention in class" quiz and I could easily combine enrichment activities with that. <br /><br />EveEve Heatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342106467437789200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4239061985324296356.post-18401865870956712362009-12-13T08:25:36.314-05:002009-12-13T08:25:36.314-05:00I'm seriously considering making this a weekly...I'm seriously considering making this a weekly event.<br /><br />Last unit I pulled together enrichment activities from the unit - file folder games, coloring sheets,crosswords, modeling clay, quick computer activities and if the students were finished with their notebooks that what they did.<br /><br />My goal in January is to make this a regular event, and hope that the enrichment activities will be so appealing that it will help other students focus more on getting their work completed on time.<br /><br />About how often do you do yours?Mendyhttp://mrsgannon.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4239061985324296356.post-27591495754277285962009-12-05T06:10:10.253-05:002009-12-05T06:10:10.253-05:00Caroline - There isn't any one website with co...Caroline - There isn't any one website with coloring sheets. I usually type in whatever unit we are in and coloring sheets after it in a google search and switch to image view of the search. <br /><br />It was nice to see you so excited after the conference. I know you will love notebooking. It also helps that your headmaster is supportive. I like that you modified notebooking to fit your set of children and school. <br /><br />Would love to hear how notebooking is going as you progress through the year, please keep in touch.<br /><br />EveEve Heatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342106467437789200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4239061985324296356.post-79247363718827936552009-12-03T23:05:10.995-05:002009-12-03T23:05:10.995-05:00Would love to know the website with the science th...Would love to know the website with the science themed color sheets to which you are referring! I attended your workshop in Myrtle Beach and appreciate the extra time you spent with me answering questions! You recomemmended I start 2nd semester...I must admit that I couldn't wait! The week before Thanksgiving break I notified all of my parents to send a composition book, two packs of colored pencils (one for the classroom and one for them to have at home), and a bottle of Elmer's glue. I am allowing my kids to take their notebooks home, but will dock them two points off of their "Notebooking Quiz" each time they don't have it in class. We have been notebooking for four days now and so far, no forgotten notebooks! **knock on wood** Being in a private school, I have much more conscientious parents than I did when I taught in public school, and keep in weekly contact with them on-line...giving that "Notebook Quiz" as an easy quiz grade has them hooked into helping them stay on top of my darlings! Thanks so much for sharing...as I told you at the conference, you are my new BFF! I am so excited and my headmaster loves this, too!Mrs. Harrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106166780281431888noreply@blogger.com
