Despite the myriad of technological innovations that have transformed the educational realm over the course of the last few years, there are a few stand-by tricks that teachers can rely on to deliver from year to year. These tried-and-true classroom activities have stood the test of time and are there to help you when you are short on ideas, whether it’s a math lesson or dealing with parents.
Today on TeachHUB.com, frequent contributing writer Janelle Cox, herself a seasoned educator on the East Coast, points out a few of these clever tips and tricks in our centerpiece article for today. Janelle’s ideas include:
- Open House Scavenger Hunt
- Homework Pass
- And More!
Janelle sums up today’s article like this, in a paragraph with the subhead “Remembering Names:” “If you find that students are always forgetting to write their names on their papers then you will find this tip especially helpful. Place a rubber stamp next to the basket that students place their paper in. If a child has written their name on their paper then they are allowed to stamp their paper. This fun reminder is a great way to get students to never forget their names on their papers again.”
