Sparking Student Motivation with Theme Moments!

I'm linking up today with Joanne to share something that I'm sure we all do...

Celebrate!  

Going to be honest and say that sometimes the basic curriculum is just so boring... maybe the writers of the textbooks could actually ask a teacher how to spice it up...  

Since I'm bored at times, I'm sure the kids are bored too - which leads to celebrating the different holidays and making everything as fun as much as possible.

You all know that if it's fun most kids will want to do their best (if for no other reason they will lose the opportunity if they misbehave).

Since it's that time of year to reflect what worked and what didn't - here are some of the things we've taken time out to celebrate this year (not including regular curriculum projects):

The Seasons - 

Fall,

  Winter, 

Spring

... and we won't be there in Summer but we are still celebrating...

Holidays:

Thanksgiving, 

Halloween, 

President's Day, 

Chinese New Year,

  Christmas, 

St. Patrick's Day,

Valentines, 

Cinco De Mayo, 

Black History Month, 

Earth Day, 

Easter....

Fun events:

Superbowl, 

Baseball, 

Dr. Seuss' Birthday,

and the 100th Day of School

It really has been a fun year - full of learning - full of patience growing - full of good memories.  :)
