I am falling down happy to join up for this month's edition of the Pick # hosted by Pawsitively Teaching, Just Reed, and Inspired Owl's Corner!
I am back to school already and so my focus is "hooking" my students to keep them wanting to come back tomorrow! In other words, I am all about engagement!

This pin leads to a post that is chock-a-block full of great ideas to make word walls come alive! I especially liked the ideas of adding visuals along with definitions to the words on the wall and creating word art. I am definitely going to be trying those right away!

This pin leads to a post about getting students excited to read new books by doing a "tasting". It's all very well explained and looks like tons of fun! I'll bet this event would be one that students would talk about all year!

Last, but not least, I am going to be trying the Super Improvers League. It's a whole brain teaching concept where you track progress on a goal and students move up the ranks as a result. It's very motivating for the students to have a goal to work towards and actually track visually. Of course, there are also various privileges awarded for moving up the ranks, but that's part of celebrating success, right?
Thanks for stopping by!
