3rd Grade Reading Interactive Whiteboard

Do your students need Morning Meeting ideas? Using different Morning Meeting ideas can lead to tremendous growth academically and socially. The fun Morning Meeting questions can be utilized along with your greeting and other activities.  The spring Morning Meeting questions should be used during the month of March with your students but could be used during other months too. 

There are Mardi Gras questions, St. Patrick Days questions, Women's History questions, and Deaf and Hard of Hearing questions to celebrate the different holidays in March. All of the questions are on Google Slides that can be used every morning during your Morning Meeting routine. All you have to do is bring up the next Google Slide each morning for that day. There are 20 EDITABLE and DIVERSE slides just for the month of March! 

Students will create connections and develop deep discussions with the questions.  Therefore, the skills they are learning during Morning Meeting will lead to connections within their reading texts. Students who practice those skills outside of reading will most likely utilize those same skills while reading. 

Additionally, the March Question of The Day will create deep relationships between you and your students! If you have my other Morning Meeting Slides than you understand how powerful these questions can be!  

This is also an excellent resource to use with your remote learners or to assign to your students’ laptops. You could assign one or more slides to their learning management system for morning meetings and writing or reading activities. 

“Morning Meeting is an engaging way to start each day, build a strong sense of community, and set children up for success socially and academically.” -Responsive Classroom

Step 3: You click on the letter that the students say. It will disappear from the

bottom and fill in if it is located in the answer.

No olvides que este juego de mesa se juega con el modo presentación de PowerPoint.

¿Quién no ama los clásicos juegos de mesa? Esta es una adaptación navideña de uno de ellos. Tira los dados y mueve tu ficha. Intenta ser el primero en llegar exactamente a la casilla 36 y no caer en las bombas ya que te harán retroceder. Si aterrizas al comienzo de las flechas avanzarás muchas casillas. Si aterrizas en el primer sombrero, te llevará al segundo sombrero, pero si aterrizas en el segundo, te llevará de regreso al primero. No es necesario saberse las reglas pues al caer en una de estas casillas se activará automáticamente la animación que mueva tu ficha al lugar que le corresponda.

Pueden jugar de 1 a 4 jugadores o grupos de jugadores. Mi consejo es dividir la clase en 2, 3 o 4 grupos. Después de cada movimiento de la ficha, trata de responde uno de los 94 acertijos que aparecerán aleatoriamente al hacer clic en las cartas de preguntas. Cada grupo dará su respuesta por consenso y el grupo que la acierte, o que más se acerque a su respuesta correcta, será el que continúe el juego tirando los dados nuevamente. Si el acertijo es demasiado difícil para el nivel de su grupo, vuelva a hacer clic en las tarjetas de preguntas y saldrá una nueva.

Los acertijos son editables y, por lo tanto, se pueden cambiar con preguntas de las lecciones que se está dando, pero no elimine los cuadros de texto si no desea eliminar sus animaciones.

Los acertijos para niños pueden:

Mejora la comprensión lectora.

Les ayuda a concentrarse y prestar más atención.

Impulsa la resolución de problemas y el pensamiento crítico.

Fortalece las habilidades y conciencia lingüística.

Promueve el pensamiento analítico y el razonamiento deductivo.

Los acertijos también pueden mejorar el estado de ánimo de tus estudiantes, hacerlos reír y darles una sensación de logro.
