Lesson Reflection Ball

I have spent the past few weeks thinking of easy things that I can do to make class a little more interesting. One of those things that I decided that I was going to do was to create a Lesson Reflection Ball. Can anyone name a kid that doesn't like to throw things in class? Didn't think so.

I just went to Wal-Mart and grabbed a rubber ball for $2.50, and started coming up with some questions. There where many different colors to choose from! It was bigger than I thought it was going to be, so that meant more questions, but I finally came up with 35.

Beginnings and Word Walls!

I cannot believe that the school year is almost here! Teachers go back in 17 days..wow! Where has my summer gone? Of course, always a teacher, I have been working on decorations for my room, and I decided that it was time to update my science word wall! I have added SO many more vocabulary words. I now have 128 vocabulary words for my word wall. I knew that my students looked at them so much last year, and they were fascinated with the pictures. When I'd ask a question that they didn't know, they would look at the pictures on the word wall cards to try to figure it out, so I knew I'd have to keep this curiosity going, so I created more! If you have already bought my science word wall cards, you will be able to print the update for free. If not, you can download them at TpT. They are perfect of 7th Grade NC Essential Standards.

TpT is also having a sell on August 4th and 5th. All of my products will be 20% off!
