Ideas from Local Teachers: Artsy Tall Tales... When Becky Jarvis is teaching about tall tales, it's fun to visit her classroom at Ophir School in Oroville. Her walls are decorated with colorful tall tale characters that her students have created from adding machine tape and construction paper. Her students write their tall tales on the long strips of machine tape. Then they glue on their tall tale character's head at the top and appropriately matching shoes or feet at the bottom. You can tell that Mrs. Jarvis' 5th-graders really like this activity because many of their tall tale characters are very, very, very tall! Thanks to Becky Jarvis and her class for sharing this great idea! If you have a favorite teaching activity/lesson that you would like to share with us, I would enjoy posting it to this site. More and more teachers and parents are discovering this site, so the more tried-and-true lessons, the better! Just e-mail your ideas, and I'll post them as soon as possible. Thanks, and have fun making more and more discoveries on the World Wide Web! www More Ideas... Gallery of Graphs: Inform and impress your classroom visitors with an array of schoolwide statistics presented through student-made graphs. Brainstorm with students to decide on topics. Categories might include: class enrollments; library circulation data (most-used books by subject, for example); percentage of school day spent on various subjects at the different grade levels; number of participants in specific sports; costs of such items as textbooks, art supplies, etc. Have students collect the data and construct the graphs. Younger students might do picture graphs; older students, line or pie graphs.--Thanks to Mary E. Gerth, Ormond Beach Fla. www School Newscast... Choose a few students to film a newscast for the week's news at school. Have them pick important events that are taking place that week and work as a news team to present the news on videotape. Each student should create a short speech about his/her topic (school events, sports, weather...) One of the reporters can also serve as director, while another student can be the camera-person. The total newscast should be less than 10 minutes long and can be shown to the class and/or other classes on Friday. (Five to six students make an ideal news team. It takes about 20-30 minutes on Monday through Wednesday to write and practice their newscast. Then allow 30 minutes for filming on Thursday.) As the weeks go by, you will notice a definite evolution in the quality of reports and filming. Also, the personalities of the different teams really start shining through! (Note: These news teams work exceptionally well with a parent supervisor. However, some 5th-6th grade teams can do most of the work, practice and newscast on their own.) |
