We have traded in our "Word-a-Day" bulletin board. This didn't make the students happy. Now we are looking at related words. Yesterday was...optimum, optimist, and optimism. Then later in the day we added "optimize" because it fit the situation. As for the bulletin board, it is now a "SUCCESS" board for those hitting their targets in Scholastic.com/CoreClicks (reading skills), TenMarks (math skills), and Junior Ninja challenges (math multi-step problems). It is amazing what they can do when they challenge THEMSELVES. I literally saw the lightbulbs go on for 3 students today as they called me back to their desks to tell me "I get IT, now." Look I got 100%. They'll be "Showing Off" for the principal tomorrow. Watch out world...sparks lead to fires. They make me so proud.
