Investing in Learning by Gathering Resources

I'm gaining momentum with a bank of learning strategies

Prediction Relay (Prediction Pair)

This is an activity that can be utilized with an assigned reading in class. First pair the students and then prompt them to create a prediction of what the text is about. Then have the students take turns reading for five minutes back and forth. Afterwards they can check their original prediction and then record four main points from the passage.

I think this approach would be effective for guiding students through a reading.

The Inquiry Institute

I had the pleasure of attending a NAAE Inquiry Institute this past week. 

I liked how the learners were a mix of current and pre-service teachers.

I liked how we ran through inquiry based activities that we can use in our classes.

I LOVED how this got me excited to integrate fun activities into the classroom.
