If you teach at a
1:1 school, you may find yourself battling the need to become more and more
paperless!
While helping
my little sister (who happens to be a kindergarten teacher) setup her new bulletin boards in her classroom this summer,
she discovered she had a PROBLEM!
The
HUGE amount of bulletin board real estate she was used to putting her Calendar Math display before the fancy Epson Interactive Board was installed had
BECOME NON-EXISTENT! This is where she stapled all 18 sets of ten frames to count the amount of days spent in school each day with her students!
So, what's a
tech-savvy big sis to do? Offer the suggestion to take it
digital - with Google Slides that is! In fact, it seemed like the
most engaging option because it would automatically make this counting routine of her Calendar Math lesson bigger and hands-on. It also
incentivizes students to become the
math leader of the day and
move the counter for the class!
She liked the idea so much, she actually said YES! And, she
requested I redo her outdated, chevron place value chart to keep a visual track of what day of school it actually is without having to refer to the Google Slide!
If you'd like to expand your horizons and try this calendar routine in
DIGITAL FORM this year,
don't worry! My template includes two 6-minute TUTORIAL videos that you can watch over and over again. The first is specifically for Google Slides. And the second, giving the tutorial for the PowerPoint version of this template (automatically included with the Google Slides version).
Since many primary teachers enjoy bringing in
bright colors into their class bulletin boards and wall displays, I created a set of
gold glitter heart rainbow counters. Her school is
leading with heartprints this school year, plus what glam teacher can resist anything with sparkle? Besides, this might encourage her young mathematicians to love math even more with these sparkly, gold hearts!
