Let’s lift each other up—one postcard at a time. 💌🌟
🌟 New idea for building community in our schools! 🌟
I created postcards for teachers to leave positive feedback when visiting colleagues’ classrooms. 📝💌 The purpose isn’t evaluative—just supportive. Imagine dropping by, leaving a kind note, and spreading encouragement and positive vibes.
To get your own editable copy, please go to the Members Only page of our website. Not a member yet? No worries, join or renew at clta.net/apply-or-ren.... BONUS: I've included a dept. version so that you can use with your department and get to know each other better!
I actually leave it up to the students to decide if they are answering or asking the question. Some teams like to ask the question to the next person rolling the dice. It's a fun activity and easily edited so you can ask questions about the topic/theme/chapter you are on.
Whichever numbers they roll, they use the number on the left and the number on the top. Where they connect, that's the question they answer and/or ask their group.
Happy Thursday! We're heading towards the end of our Back to School Members Only Week! Have you enjoyed all the freebies and ideas? Here's another class activity to help you build those relationships! I usually print one copy per group, and then give them two dice.
