Back to School Bash!

Have you bought our Back to School Bash on TpT? If so, please make sure to redownload the file. We have added several new ideas to the file!

Here are some of the new additions:

A Transportation List

The Back to School Bash includes a Powerpoint file of the posters. You can customize what you want your transportation posters to say! All you do is write each student’s name on a clothespin and then put their clothespin on the appropriate transportation list.

Specials Schedule Posters

The Back to School Bash includes a Powerpoint file of the posters. You can customize what specials you want to include in your posters!

 

Birthday Celebration Bulletin Board Display

The Back to School Bash includes a Powerpoint file of the these posters. You can add the birthdays of the students in your class.

 

(The owls that are shown in this picture, are from a previous post: Whoooo’s a Good Looking Kid?)

 

We still have our favorites that we have been using with our students this week, including the Teacher/Student Venn Diagram and the “What Smart am I?” lesson.

The Teacher/Student Venn Diagram is a fun, interactive way to learn about student and teacher responsibilities in a brand new classroom with a brand new teacher! Students make a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the role of the teacher and the student!

Nicole and I both displayed ours differently!

Super Smart Students: Celebrating Our Smarts!

The posters in our files used to look like this:

and now they look like this:

This lesson is inspired by Dr. Howard Gardner, a psychologist and professor from Harvard University. He developed the Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory in 1983.

Gardner believes each person has their own unique profile of the 9 intelligences (8 are described in this lesson) and no two people are the same!

This lesson shows students that we are all smart...in our own special way!

I place all the posters on butcher paper and keep this up all year long as a bulletin board in my classroom. I actually hear students say, "I am people smart" and "I am self smart so I want to work by myself!" I also show this to the parents at Curriculum Night and explain how I differentiate my lessons based on the needs of my students.
