CHOICE and VOICE!

I have learned that when you give kids choice and voice on how to show their learning - GREAT things happen. Today we wrapped up our learning about landforms. I gave students 3 choices to show what they know. They could either make a flip book, create a draw and tell or make a video(the video is still in production and will be posted later). Kids could pick to work in a pair or independently. It was the most productive morning. Kids were spread all over the room, talking about their work and producing (and doing it independently - while I pulled reading groups!). My teacher heart was BURSTING! Ask your student what they picked!
