First Hour Friday
We learned many new tools to use with our students in the classroom to improve strenghtend their memory of topics and to keep energy levels up. Using the on-line stop watch you give kids specific time to get through information. You also set a certain time for each partner to make sure that all students are sharing their information. Getting kids up and moving around on a regular basis keeps their energy levels up. Keeps the brain functioning and moving around instead of hitting a lull. I also think it is a great idea to get kids working with new people instead of always talking with their friends - moves us out of our comfort level in a positive way. Constant repetition with either writing it or saying it stores it into your long term memory, so you have a better chance of remembering it.
