One kid could be the dependent clause acting out "When the moose walked through the bog". The next kid is the comma, arching his back forward to create a comma curve, and then the last kid is the independent clause "the frog jumped off the lily pad". When they are acting out the moose or the frog, they say the sentence while speaking and acting like the animal. It is absolutely hilarious!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305522819110461626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147741456737476069.post-31641995530440786082017-10-26T15:39:52.619-04:002017-10-26T15:39:52.619-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305522819110461626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147741456737476069.post-88713507955647470642017-10-11T02:41:48.293-04:002017-10-11T02:41:48.293-04:00Hello - thanks for your note.

I like to use sticky notes and ask students to use them to place ideas on several open ended questions posted on the walls around the room.<br /><br />Could you maybe tell me about the game Sig Fig Says? I realise this is your colleague's idea, but here's hoping. A web search didn't illuminate it.

One of my favorite moving activities is to put students in an inner and outer circle standing up. The circles face each other so everyone has a partner. The partners discuss a question, share their writing, do an activity, etc until I call for one or both circles to rotate. New partners do it again. <br />I'm glad you linked up with Spark Creativity! Hope to see you there again next Tuesday!

We dance, we stretch, or just wiggle when we feel the need to move. Some of my students have requested to work standing up and I'm fine with that as long as they stay in their area. I just put their desk on the side or back of the room so they are not blocking anyone's view. I teach 3rd grade and have 28 students.

Those days when the energy just feels BLAH. I'll just interrupt the lesson and tell them to get up and move around, the look at me like I've sprouted a second head. I love it! While not full body, I also have some bags of "think putty" that I found at a teacher store that I let the "fidgeters" play with during class to help them at least move their hands.

Sometimes I have the whole class stand and each person can sit once s/he has participated or answered a question. Another thing I love to do with my morning classes is find Wii Dance videos on YouTube and we either dance to it as a class for a brain break or I turn on a fun song and we do stretches together to wake ourselves up before we begin something that requires us to sit.Stephaniehttp://superseñoritasspanishstuff.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147741456737476069.post-19805941567077926032016-02-08T22:21:29.900-05:002016-02-08T22:21:29.900-05:00Hey Room 213!

I think we often think that physical activity across the curriculum but you did an excellent job of showing how any movement is valuable! Since I teach PE my kids are moving most of the thing and I don't have to be super creative about getting students to be active. However, in my health classes I've had to really think of ways to keep kids moving most of the time. I really like doing learning stations as it also challenges kids to think and take ownership of their learning. <br /><br />I will definitely be sharing this post and linking to it on my blog! <br /><br />Thanks!!<br /><br />JanelleProject School Wellnesshttp://www.projectschoolwellness.com/nutrition-scavenger-hunt/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147741456737476069.post-75885769690759992472015-11-07T02:10:09.349-05:002015-11-07T02:10:09.349-05:00These are some excellent ideas!

Half the class gets a vocabulary word, the other half gets the definition or a picture representing that word. They have to find the person whose card is their mate.<br /><br />I also do a game I call "Vota con tus pies"or Vote with your feet. I ask an opinion question and use a powerpoint to post 4 different possible answers in each of the corners to represent the corners of the room. Students choose how they would answer and go to that corner. For example, if I posted "My favorite birthday present this year was..." and put in the four corners of the slide "gift card, books, technology, clothes", the students pick and go to the corner that best suits them.Robynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147741456737476069.post-10118539973879932832015-10-03T04:47:05.212-04:002015-10-03T04:47:05.212-04:00You're welcome!You're welcome!Room 213https://www.blogger.com/profile/04994184250569494671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147741456737476069.post-15183121043932644492015-10-02T20:15:55.991-04:002015-10-02T20:15:55.991-04:00These are great!
