In recent years, yarnbombing and other guerilla art activities have become more popular - and easier to organize thanks to the rise of social media. This page displays examples of this type of art.
Are you looking to spice up your morning meeting routine? Using a printable or Google Slides quote of the day is the perfect addition to any classroom wanting to include an inspirational morning message in their responsive classroom. There are 180 child-friendly quotes of the day that can be used to teach multiple life lessons during your morning message of morning meeting, or any time throughout the day. The 180 Quotes of the Day are included in 3 formats: PDF (for print & go, 1 to a page but can be printed as small/large as you want) Google Slides TM - 150 Google Slides (8.5x11) JPEGS - To add to your own slides/presentations *The old version is also still included for those of you who downloaded prior to August 7, 2023.** How to Use a Quote of the Day for Morning Message: During your morning meeting, you should have time set aside for a morning message. This is the perfect time to add in a quote of the day. Start by reading the quote aloud to your class. Then, have the entire class choral read the quote of the day together. After, give your students time to discuss what the daily quote means to them with a partner. Then, they can share out to the group, as comfortable. Throughout the year, students might refer back to old quotes or relate them to books or other lessons they learn during the year. How to Display the Daily Quote for Morning Message: The options for displaying your daily quote are limitless. Typically, I display the daily quote each morning near my calendar. We then vote on if we want to "keep the quote" or if we'd like to put it away. We keep about 10 quotes at time, and if they "keep the quote" then we have to retire an old quote. It becomes quite a fun activity with students! Alternatively, you can use the included Google Slides or JPEGS to insert into your daily slides and display the quote of the day each morning. Many teachers also decorate the hallway by adding one quote each day, until the entire hallway is decorated! 150 vs 180 Quotes? The choice is yours. There are 180 quotes included, but I like to use 150. Then, during the last month of school, I give my students a homework assignment to bring in their own quote of the day. Students LOVE finding the daily quotes and love sharing them with the class even more. These can be from a book, movie, something at home, or ANY quote that they would like to share.

Well folks, it's about that time. Perhaps for some, you are already back. The first week of school....ahhh....it's exhilarating, it's fun, it's busy....and....it's downright exhausting. What am I going to do without my mid-morning nap? And my mid-afternoon nap? Hopefully, I have some ideas for you to use here to ease that transition back. I think setting the tone with Morning Meeting is the most important part of the day. It is the one area of the day that I have more flexibility with and it a time for students and I to connect. In following with a Responsive Classroom approach Morning Meeting in my classroom has 4 components: 1. Greeting 2. Share 3. Activity 4. Message Sometimes, the 4 components may become a bit intertwined based on time and the nature of the activities. I allocate about 30-40 minutes for Morning Morning and it always incorporates a read-aloud as well. Usually, the read aloud is a picture book of some kind. Let's break down the four components and give you some ideas for each... I keep greetings very low key at first, as students are still getting to know one another and the classroom rules. Therefore, physical contact is limited and is gradually built up, depending on what your class can handle. Here are some ideas: 1. Name Game: Everyone sits in a circle. Start with your arms Criss-crossed arms to make an X across your shoulders and then uncross them and tap your thighs. As students to repeat this motion. Once mastered, start saying student names as you go around the circle "My name is Mrs. Pettersen, Mrs. Pettersen, Mrs. Pettersen. My name is Mrs. Pettersen and what's your name?" The person to my right says his/her name and we repeat "His name is Justin, Justin, Justin. His name is Justin, Justin, Justin, etc. This continues until everyone in the class has had a turn. The last person is the teacher "Her name is Sara, Sara, Sara. Her name is Sara and we're all here!" The kinesthetic motion helps students to remember names. 2. Walk and Greet: Teachers says greets each student by walking up to each student (not in order) waving and smiling and making eye contact. Ask students "What did you notice?" when you are done. You are looking for students to notice that you made eye contact, that you gave a friendly wave without touching and that you smiled. This exercise models for students how you expect them to greet one another for morning meeting. Tell them so. 3. Ball Roll: Roll a small ball to a student after you say good morning "Good morning, Sam." Sam responds and I roll the ball to him. Then he rolls the ball to a student. It is important to review rules and expectations with the ball before beginning this activity. 4. Mirror, Mirror: Greet a student with a motion and have them repeat that motion. If you are silent, they are silent. They then repeat the same motion to a classmate of their choice. 5. Mirror, Mirrored: Play the same way as above, but this time the after the student mimics your motion, they make up their own motion for a classmate to follow. Greetings continue with each student making up their own greeting motions. 6. Hola!: Greet one another in a different language. Instead of saying "Good morning, the teacher greets a student with a greeting in a different language such as "Hola, Lila". Lila then does the same with another classmate. Switch it up as the year goes on with different languages. 7. Round Robin: Model how to shake hands using the right hand and how to shake appropriately without hurting a classmate. Then do a "round robin" greet" where the teacher shakes hands with the person to the right of them, that person shakes hands with the person to the right of them and so on until everyone has been greeted. 8. Meet and Greet: Students pull a name from a hat and greet that student. 9. Guess Who: Using the info gained from the share activity below the teacher pulls a name from a hat (without letting students see the name). Give the students clues on whose name was pulled "This student likes to play soccer. She has 2 brothers and a dog." 10. Sing this song or chant it as a rhyme: "If your name starts with A turn around. If your name with B touch the ground. If your name then down and touch your knee. If your name starts with D say "that's me!" If your name starts with E reach up high. If your name starts with F touch the sky. If your name starts with G that wave up here to me If your name starts with H say "Yippee!" If your name starts I wink your eye. If your name starts with J pretend to fly. If your name starts with K then move and start to sway If your name starts with L say "Good Day!" If your name starts with M touch your head If your name starts with N start to bend If your name starts with O bend down and touch your toe If your name starts with P say "That's me!" If your name starts Q touch your shoe. If your name starts with R stay where you are If your name starts with T wave up here at me If your name starts with U say Yoo-hoo!" If your name starts with V say "Who me?" If your name starts X say "Oh yes?" If your name starts with Y please don't cry. If your name starts with Z say "End with me." O.k....I'm just going to put this out there....I don't like Sharing. There. I said it. Not sharing as in....I don't like to give my things to others. No, not that kind. I don't like having a Share time in the classroom. I just feel like it terms into "This is what I have and you don't so I'm going to stand up here and tell you all about it and make you feel bad so you can go home and tell your parents and beg them to buy it for you too" time. Therefore, Share time in the classroom for me has to have a bit more direction and purpose. In the beginning of school, Share time consists of us getting to know everyone so everyone takes home a brown paper bag with this little poem attached. We’d like to get to know a little about you So fill this bag with photos, a small toy, a momento or two. Bring your bag to school on _______ Know what you want to share and say. We can’t wait to see what’s in your bag On your sharing day! Each student gets assigned a day (actually I assign 2-3 students per day) to share their bag and tell us about themselves. This All About Me Paper Bag Activity is a FREEBIE in my store. You can grab it here. During the remainder of the year, share time is a time when students can share something that they made or earned (such as an aware, trophy, etc) or an addition to their family (such as a new family member or pet). If someone returns from a vacation, they can share their travel journal with us during Share time too. 1. Four Corners: Designate 4 separate corners of your classroom. Choose one student volunteer to close his/her eyes. The remainder of the class will walk quietly to a corner. The student with his/her closed chooses a corner number and any students in that corner are out and must come sit down. 2. Four Corners 2: Play the same as Four Corners except students go together to a corner based on your directions "Go to corner number 1 if you have a dog. Go to corner number 2 if you have a cat. Go to corner number 3 if you have both a dog and a cat. Go to corner number 4 if you don't have a dog or a cat." 3. Sticky Numbers: One student is given a sticky note with a number written on it. He/She must ask her classmates questions about the number in order to guess it. Questions may be "Is it greater than 10? Is an even number?,etc? 4. Warm Winds: Students sit in a circle. One students is the volunteer and asks a common attribute such as "A warm wind blows for anyone who likes pizza." Anyone who likes pizza must then get up and switch places with someone else. Last person standing is the next volunteer. 5. 7 Up: Played just like the traditional game. 7 people choose 7 people who are seated at a table with their heads down. Those7 people who are chosen try to guess who chose them. If guessed correctly, they can then be "it." 6. Back to School: Get to know staff in your school with these Back to School Trading Cards. Give to staff ahead of time or place them in the mailbox. Take students on a tour and collect the cards as your tour. Kids just love collecting cards! They can learn who the staff members are, their names, and their job responsibilities at the same time! 7. Would you Rather: Kids LOVE "Would you rather?" games. You can do a few and then ask a student volunteer to do some. 8. Circle: Students sit in a circle. Send one student out of the room. Choose one student volunteer to be "it". This student makes a pattern of repeated motions. the remainder of the class copies the motions. Call the student who was sent out to come back in. This student now has to guess who is it. I am so bad about writing morning messages. As I'm making photocopies, catching up on who watched "The Bachelor" last night, setting out morning work, making sure I have work set for the parent volunteer I kept saying to myself "I need to write the morning message." Well...9 times of of 10 the students were walking in and I was either A. Writing the message right there and then OR B. Still hadn't written in Morning messages have always been my nemesis but I do they think they are so important for my early readers. Soooo... I spent a lot of time going through the curriculum and creating a YEAR's worth of morning messages that I can always have on my computer so I could just pop it on and BAM! There they are ....every day. I never have to write a morning message again! Literally all I do is turn on my SmartBoard and my morning message for each day is right there! When I have a sub, I just leave her my login directions for my computer and it's a piece of cake. I love how it's review for my students. They are editable too so you can adapt them however you want. To pin for later:

Robert Frost once said “There are three things, after all, that a poem must reach: the eye, the ear, and what we may call the heart or the mind. It is most important of all to reach the heart of the reader.” Anyone who has read a poem and felt the words deep within themselves knows this assertion to be true. Poetry is uniquely capable of touching the hearts of readers. That's why it lends itself perfectly to the underlying messages of growth mindset. Poetry can be engaging when relatable, and it also makes for an easy way to reinforce skills that students have already learned while reading longer works such as interpreting figurative language, citing evidence within the text, finding the central idea, and close reading. But it also has the potential to begin a conversation with students about their own lives and experiences. Poetry can spark an investigation into growth mindset, too. Everyone can relate in some way! The following poems are ones able to reach even the most reticent of poetry readers while shedding light on the themes of growth mindset. Each person, young and old, has had experience with trying to persevere through tough times when things seem to be working against them. These poems present an easy way to show students who may be struggling that they are not alone, while also building on reading and critical thinking skills. POEM #1: "The Man Who Thinks He Can" by Walter D. Wintle Surely such a short poem couldn’t be so powerful? Think again! This poem focuses on the idea that positive thinking is one of the most important factors in succeeding when faced with something difficult. This poem is packed with fun rhyming, but also offers some more difficult phrases to inspire thinking amongst students in order to feel the full meaning of the poem. If you'd like to give students a chance to analyze this poem and connect it to growth mindset, check out this popular set of Growth Mindset Doodle and Do activities. POEM #2: "It Couldn't Be Done" by Edgar Albert Guest Much like The Little Engine That Could, this poem aligns perfectly to growth mindset. That's because it takes a look at positive thinking when completing tasks. This is such a fun poem because the rhyming makes it seem as though it is a fun nursery rhyme. Reading this aloud is sure to get students engaged and interested in this poem and its underlying meanings. POEM #3 - "If-" by Rudyard Kipling Critical thinking is shall I say…critical! In this poem, the author takes the reader through a journey of understanding the qualities in themselves that may set them apart...such a great growth mindset lesson! The best part about this poem is its use of metaphor to get some points across. This poem is sure to keep students thinking and coming to their own conclusions. Poem #4 - "Hard Luck" by Edgar Albert Guest The grass is always greener on the other side—right? In this poem, the writer confronts the concept that we sometimes think that someone else has it much easier than we do when maybe they don’t. Although this longer poem may take more critical thinking on the part of students, its casual wording, such as using the word “ain’t,” can make for a very fun read-aloud! Poem #5 - "Listen to the Mustn'ts" by Shel Silverstein We complete this list with a well-known and loved author—Shel Silverstein! Although a short poem, it still adheres to the idea of perseverance and positive thinking (hello, growth mindset)! This can be a fun treat to include in lessons to give students a mental break with a favorite! Poetry can be so powerful, and when it's combined with important concepts like growth mindset, its impact is immeasurable! I hope you've found a few poems to share with your students! Great news! Since poetry can be so much fun in the classroom, I've put together a set of 5 exclusive poet-"treats" for teachers and students. You'll receive over 50 pages of poetry analysis, writing, and reading lessons! Sign up to have free poetry lessons sent to your inbox! Yes! Please!

We had our first day of school with students Wednesday and I forgot how utterly exhausting and mind blowing that first day is! We did lots of rules, routines, and procedures but also made time for some fun first week things. Here is what we have been up to! You can purchase these Scholastic Order Form activities from Clutter Free Classroom HERE! I also introduced the students to the Activ Expressions! They were literally asking me about them ALL week long and so Friday, we took a Multiple Intelligence Survey using the device! I adapted this activity from Laura Candler's printable survey which you can download free HERE! You can download the flipchart by clicking the image below. Important Note: You must have Promethean Activ Inspire software installed on your computer to OPEN and use this file! Please do not download otherwise! I also made some labels to go on my Activ Expression bins. You can download those by clicking the button below! I have also decided to implement brain breaks into my classroom this year! We needed a little wake me up on Friday morning so we watched this HILARIOUS parody of I'm Sexy and I Know It, called I'm Elmo and I Know It! I am definitely adding this to my brain break file! I plan on making some brain breaks sometime this week. Stay tuned to find out how I plan on incorporating this bad boy into my brain breaks! I absolutely can't wait for it to get here!!
