GOOD IDEAS #9

IDEAS FROM VIRGINIA AND TENNESSEE IN 2012!  WHAT FUN TO GO DOWN MEMORY LANE!


Let’s Look Important!  (Diane Ringer)
(Use this idea instead of criss cross applesauce.)
Would you like to know how to look important?  
Put your right hand over your heart like this.  (Demonstrate)
Put your left hand across your chest and fold your arms like this.  (Demonstrate)
Lift up your chin and smile importantly.  Now look at all my important people!

          
VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
What child will be able to resist "looking important"?

Song Requests  (Heather Cline)
Make a box for song requests.  Children write their favorite song on a sheet of paper and put it in the box.  Pull requests each morning and sing.

VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
This might be fun for older students.  Ask them to email you their favorite song and you could put their suggestions on paper and save in a bag.


Weightlifting Count to 100 (Amy Gibson)
Pick up your weights and count 1-20 as you do bicep curls; 21-40 for shoulder press; 41-50 tricep press; 61-80 butterfly press; 81-100 overhead.  
Wipe brow!!!

VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
Exercise bodies and brains at the same time by weight lifting as you count, say the alphabet, read sight words, and so forth.


White Board Clipboard  (Suzi Burton)
Attach a large butterfly clip to individual white boards for each child.  Voila!  Clipboards!



VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
Don't you think a white board and markers should be a part home or school supply lists?
