Substitute Binder

-
I saw this on Pinterest...Love this idea!!!  I have three more weeks before I go back to school, I still can't believe how fast the time went. I promised my self that regardless of the time approaching I will enjoy every minute of summer. Although, I am on vacation, I still like working on a few school projects. So, I am at work creating my substitute binder. Every year my principal asks for lessons for at least a three day absence, so I'm getting a head start.



My sub binder includes a table of contents to direct the sub through the binder. I don't have everything in the binder as of today, but as soon as I receive my packet of goodies from school (school map, seating chart, schedule..etc.) I can add a lot more.



 Here are a few lesson plans and handouts that were added recently.



I also added a comment page for the sub. I'll post the finish product on a later date.

Chris Riggs Heart Art

One of my favorite modern/Instagram artist to teach about is Chris Riggs, his work is simple but edgy and has a great message of love. I decided to use his layering style in a cut paper collage project for my middle school students. I used a video to demonstrate the cutting technique and once they got that, the rest was history.   Supplies needed: 12x18 Black or white construction paper 5x5 inch construction paper variety of colors Scissors Glue Pencil and eraser   Loved how students tried new shapes to create their design.

Paper Weaving

Teaching the weaving process has not always been easy for me to teach. Students struggle with the concept of over and under and being able to see the pattern. That all changed for me when I decided to create these large paper looms. Students were given more practice and able to work with their peers for extra guided practice. To make this even better, I turn it into sort of a competition, the group that finishes first and does it correctly may move on to the individual paper looms. They love the intrinsic reward of finishing and moving to the next task.  I hope that this helps you if you struggle like I did with paper weaving.  Each student gets one strip to weave correctly. Students may verbally assist each other in their own group.
