I have a very diversified group of students. I have some really high kids and some very low kids that are struggling to read. I have a few that are just learning the English language. I have kids with behavior issues that need extra attention and help.
They are excited and eager to learn and I want to provide as many opportunities for them that I can.
I am looking for different strategies for them to engage more in their speaking, reading and writing.
My Project
The microphone ball will be a fun way to get my kids speaking and answering questions. It will help my lessons be more engaging and interactive. My ELL students often have a a really hard time communicating and feel embarrassed. I think the ball will really help them feel that they are not "on the spot" and they will focus on the fun of using the ball. The ball will also help all the students be able to hear each other speak and the answers to questions that are asked.
I have some really little kids that aren't able to reach the floor when they are sitting at their desks.
The bouncy bands will help my students hold still and focus more on learning than swinging their legs.
The Original Bouncy Bands for Desks (Black) - Children love bouncing their feet and feeling the tension to relieve their anxiety, hyperactivity, frustration, or boredom.
