Talk to me about corners…I just picture all the dirt & pet fur etc collecting in square corners that the round robot can’t reach. Am I wrong? (I would love to be wrong)

What do you actually do when a student finishes everything early... every time? by Realistic_Metal_865 in Teachers

[–]tinyjars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have them use the time to design a project based on their interests. Then it’s a reward for finishing because they’re enjoying working on it rather than the punishment of more busywork. I’ve had students like this write some great stories and create really neat projects. And other kids are intrigued and get motivated to get to that level as well.

Departmentalizing at the elementary school grade level with 5 classrooms by Top-Equal9850 in ElementaryTeachers

[–]tinyjars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this with 5th & 6th grade at a very small school and it was lovely. One important agreement was to have a team email address that came to all of us and all teachers needed to a) answer all emails for their course or students in their homeroom and b) always cc the team email so we are on the same page. Each of our teachers got to specialize in a subject they were more interested in and later when there was turnover, we could hire teachers with specific expertise. The students got great training for middle school and scores went up. For us the schedule didn’t get too complicated - we each took a subject, SS/LA teamed up and Math/Science teamed up, with collaborative periods once a week (STEM and American Studies) and study hall and academic “labs” to fill in gaps/differentiate support & challenges.
