Dreams for the future activity!
Students reflect on the previous year and highlight some of their achievements. They also set goals for the year ahead. Goals in school..goals for their future...and goals in helping others. I used this is my Advisory class and a recycled sculpture contest came out of it (for the whole school to participate in), after reading how one girl in my advisory wanted to help others by doing this contest in school- to help the Earth!

Character Traits Reward Certficates ~ Fairness
Based on Character Counts's six pillars of character development, I created these certificates to give out to our students at school. All of the students who earned the certificate put their certificate into a drawing. At the end of the month, if the child's name was picked, they could receive a gift certificate to Barnes and Nobel for $25! They loved earning these!

Holiday ornament lesson using area of a circle!
This fun hands-on activity is a great way for students to get hands-on, solving a real world problem where they have to cover three circular 2-d ornaments using the formula for area.
I gave each of them three different sized cut-outs of circles to be measured and for them to solve. They loved it!

Averages on the track!
This activity is meant to be used for a class outside on the track. I used this with my math intensive classroom of eight students. Students are timed three times when walking or running a short distance on the track. They were each asked to keep track of their time and log it on this handout. They then were asked to find the average for the entire class. Great kinesthetic lesson!
