End of the Year Blues...

    


      Oh, the end of the year!  Not only do the students get antsy, but the teachers do too.  We know the year is not over, YET, but sometimes it feels like we've all checked out as soon as testing is over.  We don't do it on purpose, but the stress building up to testing takes it's toll.  The best part of the end of the year, is we can start be a little more creative.  My latest resource, Greek Mythology Think Tac Toe, encourages you and your students to dive into a topic that they wouldn't normally have time to learn about (or possibly care about) and be creative, independent, and thoughtful.  


Portion of the Fiction Passage


Portion of the Nonfiction Passage

     The focus of this Think Tac Toe is on Greek Mythology; however, it is SO much more than that. By purchasing this product, you will provide your students with 9 varied activities using project-based learning.  




     Three of the activities allow kids to practice their computer skills and at the end of the week, students have the opportunity to present their projects to their classmates.
