GOOD IDEA #29

I'm almost out of ideas and I'm almost "out of June"!  But don't worry because I've got other surprises for you in July.

Rhyming Chant (Tina Ponzi)
(Slap knees and clap hands to get the rhythm.)
When I say bat, you say cat.
Bat – cat
Bat – cat


*You can also use this chant for opposites.
When I say hot, you say cold.
Hot – cold
Hot – cold

VIRTUAL CLASSROOM

This would be a great way to develop phonological awareness and oral language online.

Read with Me If… (Betsy Martin)
This idea makes it seem like the students are special and they “get” to read with the teacher!
Read with me IF you…like chocolate ice cream
     like broccoli
     like to play outside
     have brown eyes
     are wearing blue
                                                                             
VIRTUAL CLASSROOM

What a great way to encourage children to listen and reread big books.

Virginia is our state.
