Free Online Grade book, Lesson Planner, and More!

        In a couple of weeks I will being teaching 5th grade. I am super excited about this, but decided I was in need of some new ideas for classroom management and was looking for a different way to keep students engaged. I started thinking about music and what keeps people interested. When we know the words and can interact with the songs, watching a concert for hours goes by in an instant. Googling various words and looking extensively on Pintrest, I found whole brain teaching. This idea is phenomonial, easy, and best of all it looks like most of their information of how it works is online and FREE! I love free stuff :)

        I am going to try this with my fifth graders this year! I will be posting how it goes. I am excited to see the results and hope that it is a fun way to keep my students engaged and results it them being able to remember the information.


        If you are interested here are a couple of videos of whole brain teaching in action. The first two videos are how to get started with WBT. Teaching the students the rules and procedures for it. The last two videos is it being used in actual lessons. I love how enthusiastic the kids are... looks like so much fun!



       I have a rock star theme in my classroom so I have created posters of the procedures, rules, and the two score boards.
