Item #1: Teacher Challenges Solved

tagteacherchallenges.jpgMotivation-to-Retention challenge: Don't know what it means to personalize the curriculum.

Solution: When we personalize something it means that we make it our own. Using creative visuals and photos help us to see ourselves being successful with the lesson. The Independent Practice Activity is the perfect place to ask students "what part of this lesson have you connected with through your personal experiences?"

SUPPORT GO GREEN! Recycle Bin... We are interested in making the most of what resources and supplies we have available to us. Here's an idea that is inexpensive as well as fun! Re-use transparencies as page protectors or photo protectors. Use the whole sheet or cut to size over a transparency. (Be sure to check out our article about using transparencies in the e-magazine The Scrapbooking Classroom, vol. 2, issue 4.)
