Cookie Sheet Learning

Okay, this is pretty simple. Get a cookie sheet and magnet letters and numbers...then you can attach worksheets or whatever to help the kids practice sight words, math, or really anything you need to review. The magnets can just attach to the cookie sheet and the review can be done over and over!

Puff Ball Erasers!

This is just a random idea: hot glue those little puff ball thingy's or whatever they are called to the end of a dry erase marker and viola! You have an eraser already attached that the kids won't lose when they are writing on little whiteboards!

Summer Sites!

Okay, I love this. Here is a sheet of 10 educational websites that kids can go to during the summer or even during school that will help them review what they learned and keep it in their minds! They are all free and completely safe!

1 Minute Active Activities

This is a great idea! You put small one-minute activities on Popsicle sticks and when the class needs a little break or something to get the wiggles out you draw one and have the class do what it says! They can be things like:

  • Dance Party!
  • 20 jumping jacks
  • Seat switch!
  • Pretend jump rope or hula hoop!
It can really be anything you can think of that gets them active or lets them loosen up a bit!
