The Reds are on the Radio

Nothing beats driving home from school today and getting to listen to Marty call a game.  I love listening to baseball and having the voice of a Hall of Famer call the game only makes it that much better.  I cannot tell you how excited I am about baseball being back.

This is a new part of my classroom that I am so excited about using.  I stole this idea from Mrs. Buskirk who stole the idea from someone at Berry.  The idea of the board is to have a place to assess what the students know.  For example today after we had spent time thinking about putting the steps of how a bill becomes a law in sequence, the class had to answer a question.  The students took a post-it note and wrote the answer.  Then they brought the post-it note to the board and stuck it in their spot. The board allows me to quickly see who understood and who needs a bit more practice on the topic.  

We also used the board to share our favorite sentences from our at home reading.  This is a way to check up on the students, but I see it more as a way to check on my teaching.  If students are not understanding a concept, the board will tell me and I can reteach.  

I hope you are all having a great week.
