Please use this area to share any topics of education you would like that may not necessarily fit into a discussion response. Maybe we could use this area to brainstorm solutions to difficulties in our classrooms, to refine ideas, or to make connections.

The end of the year for fourth graders! I am having so much trouble keeping my fourth graders focused for the end of the year. They have definitely "checked out". However, I want to hold them accountable for all of the days. Any suggestions?

I know from earlier conversations all of the behavior elements you have put in place. I wonder if there is a student driven project you could do to up engagement. Maybe a portfolio, college application, research project... individually student selected?

It is hard to keep kids engaged, but I think doing some kind of big project is the best bet! Maybe a portfolio of work they have done throughout the year or revisiting an old writing piece and trying to see it through new eyes - a revision project. In

Oh.... no one told me there is a character limit on this! One idea is for them to set summer goals and then collect strategies for achieving those goals. Another strategy is to just grin and bear it and then treat yourself to your favorite beverage daily!

Thanks ladies! I wound up letting them choose a topic we previously studied this year. They had to create a technology piece, a visual, and a write-up/reflection. We have every type of project, from Wonder to angles! It's great!
