Hocus Pocus, Keep Them Focused! GIVEAWAY

We all know that teachers have magic powers.  From eyes in the back of our heads to super-sonic hearing, we are a talented bunch, I tell you!  But this time of year, spring fever has hit, and with the end of the year in sight, we all need a little extra magic to keep us going!  So, in the next few weeks, I’m joining with my favorite intermediate teachers to put a little extra magic in our lessons and keep students engaged.

We will be swapping resources that will be just what we need to keep our students engaged during the final weeks of school.   We want to share our finds with you in a fun way – a 2-part blog hop giveaway!

Today, we present Part 1, with each blogger introducing the resource they selected to keep their friends engaged and learning in our final weeks together.   Then, over the course of the next two weeks, we will be using these resources in our classrooms.   On Sunday, May 11, we’ll be back to report on how well these resources kept our students engaged!

I was lucky enough to be paired up with Jessica from I Heart Recess!  I took a look in her store and fell in love with her "Gearing up for the Test: 3-5 ELA Review Game".  With our state tests around the corner, I thought that this product would be a fun way to keep students engaged before testing! Her product includes a board game students can play that reviews the following CCSS reading skills: context clues, theme, main idea, text structure, text features, making inferences, point of view, and character traits. I can't wait to tell you how it goes with my students!

Now to the giveaway!   Here’s what you need to do:

Finally, don’t forget to stop back in two weeks!   On Sunday, May 11, we’ll all be back to share with you how the magic went in our classrooms!   Oh yeah, you might want to know that that there will be a SECOND GIVEAWAY, too!  Until then, enjoy the magic and happy teaching.  :)
