Mr. Bizz’s Classroom Edit display name

https://www.donorschoose.org/classroom/6533509 Customize URL

I try to foster a positive, energetic full learning environment. My classroom consists of 12 tables, with 4 students per table. Throughout each unit, the tables compete against each other for various rewards by answering critical thinking questions throughout the unit lessons. I will give students a few minutes to think-pair-share. Then I will have the students raise their hands on the count of three for their chance to win points. Sometimes, due to the amount of kids, it's hard to determine who had their hand up. By allowing the students to have the interactive sound buzzers, it will make competition fun and easier to determine who goes first. In addition, the white dry erase boards will also give the tables a chance to write down their answer. During the critical thinking competition, if a table wants to challenge an answer, they must hand over their dry erase board to prove they are right. It will also allow for additional think-pair-share engagement activities.
