Sometimes we need to teach a little less academics and a little more on social skills! I like to send this letter home every once in a while. Students do not have to do their 20 minutes of reading over the weekend but they do have to do something kind!
Our school sends home this "teacher wishlish" for Christmas! The parents love being able to get gifts for the teachers they actually need and the teachers love getting classroom material they are out of!
Use this exciting page to help encourage students while they are organizing a draft about an essay discussing whether or not students should be allowed to bring cell phones to school.
There are several ways to use this handout! Use it as an interactive way to hold class discussions over a book you have read. Do you do book clubs in your room? Give this handout to your students to engage them in their reading groups!
