Thank you for the wonderful comments on the first half of the pictures.  I am working on a slide presentation for Parent Teacher Conferences which comes in a couple of weeks so this just helped it along.
Earning Marbles For Good Behavior has helped me in the classroom a great deal this year.  They earn marbles for good behavior, but also loose marbles for uncooperative behavior.  Every child has a notebook for Journaling which they do often and for almost every subject.
There are always Worksheets to do on almost all the subjects also.  Gym Class is the favorite class for most of the students.  They are taking a test on doing sit ups in this shot. Here the children are Measuring mass of an object.
Science Class has to be very accurate and they are learning to be good investigators.  Social Studies right now is dealing with a lot of map skills, and learning what their orientation is on this earth. Stopping For a Drink on the way in from recess is a necessity.   Classroom Treasures , each child has these three items close at hand - a book, a water bottle, and their tennis shoes.


 
  • Jo, I have really enjoyed this series. It has been a long time since I have been inside a grammar school, and I am fascinated at how much and how little things have changed. All your students look so intent in their work! Each of these photos is good, but gym class was my pick, probably because of the intense movement in the first little girl. Nice job.
