Get to know your teacher.. it's a guessing questionnaire. (What's my favorite color, what's my favorite food, how many children do I have, how long have I been a teacher etc.)When done I provide the answers and give treats to all the participants. Afterward we design "All About Me Posters" answering some of the Same questions and illustrating them( except how many children do I have lol) and display them outside outside the classroom, after each student has shared their Posters. It's really fun and the kids love it!

I need some ideas for my last hour class. I teach reading only and I have this class first hour for reading and then last hour again for “communication skills”. I plan on some days doing prodigy, maybe passion projects, and maybe reading groups. This class has a lot of sped kids. By the time last hour comes, they are all over the place. I need things to keep them from going crazy, but want it to be purposeful also. Any suggestion?
