Fourth day of fourth grade

Are you looking for ways to fill five or ten minutes in third, fourth, or fifth grades? Check out my favorite low-prep, creative and EDUCATIONAL time fillers that will make the most out of the minutes that pop up during the school day.

Today I'm sharing one of my favourite tasks for building community in the classroom. Students are able to share an important aspect of themselves (the story of their name) with the class and with me, their teacher. Through this task we are also working on important skills, like reading comprehension, writing, and reflection. Day 1 To begin, I asked my students to write any name they wish they had on a sticky note. They then placed it in a mason jar. I read my class the story "The Name Jar"…

I believe that children learn best through play and exploration. Here's a closer look the March Morning tubs for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades!
