Hiatus

I haven't been posting as I am very busy with report cards and planning for my upcoming trip to Europe. I'll be gone until April 19, but I'll be blogging about the trip! Rest assured, I'm still Power Teaching and it's still going great, and I will begin blogging again when I return.

Best of the Forums

I've been really active on the forums on the new website lately, and there have been some fantastic ideas shared so far. Here are a few of my favorites in no particular order (sorry, I can't link to the specific posts, so you'll have to scroll through the thread to find the appropriate post):

1. Tetris and Battleship games for teaching area

2. Silent-Focused-Thinking (SFT) technique for micro-independent work

3. Geometry gestures (including one for isosceles triangle that is one of the best I've seen for anything)

4. Course Questions game to use as a warm-up activity

5. Gestures for animals and their needs

Hope you enjoy them. My ulterior motive for making this list is that it's my To Do of things to use in my own classroom. :-)
