I come from a low income school so a lot of our kids don't have those type of opportunities. I try to find activities that help me learn more about the student instead. kris6312https://www.blogger.com/profile/07504455857565588192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360454747604978991.post-72091043348084866992015-08-14T22:24:45.957-04:002015-08-14T22:24:45.957-04:00One year I read Chrysathemum to my students, but I...One year I read Chrysathemum to my students, but I quickly realized that my students had heard the story three other times on the first day in years prior.

I am adapting! :) I have to say that as an extrovert, I LOVED those games. It gave me an excuse to talk to someone I wanted to, without them looking at me like I was crazy to just walk up and talk. Met several young men that way ;). My daughter, however, dies inside at those games. Just another example of diverse learners!Mrs. Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192764388523871061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360454747604978991.post-74760321544223428662015-08-14T08:02:07.273-04:002015-08-14T08:02:07.273-04:00Thank you for sharing the Chit Chat Cards.

One activity that I always thought was fun was the toilet paper activity where the students take as many squares as they want, then discuss one thing about themselves for each square. I will no longer do this activity because it takes too much time. I like that the Chit Chat Cards will give everyone time to speak.
