The big standardized test is over. (Everyone breathe a sigh of relief with me). :)
Now it's time for my kiddos to take their skills and practice being the teacher for a change!!
Each of my students has picked a TEK from this year (except my special education students who are getting to pick a TEK from other grade levels that they have mastered).
They are expected to do a presentation on this TEK, create a visual, make an activity for the class to do to practice the TEK, and write a "how to" paper about the TEK and the real world application.
So far my kiddos have been really excited about it. They're happy for the opportunity to show off their abilities. Plus it's nice to get a chance to be creative!
One of my students even said yesterday, "Aw, I don't want to go to specials. I want to keep working on my project."
I've had several students ask me if they can work on it at home. (Beams with pride).
Shout out to Ms. Richardson who came up with the idea and shared it with me!
