Displaying Hopes and Dreams

I am a huge fan of Responsive Classroom and one of the elements of RC is encouraging students to write down/express their hopes and dreams. This year, I am displaying them in the hall to encourage students to share them with others. The students are super excited!

Responsive Classroom has some great resources for helping students to establish goals for the school year or each quarter.

How are your displaying your students hopes and dreams? Email pictures and I'll put them up to share with other teachers!

Comprehension Cubes

Struggling with comprehension? Tired of buying cubes for comprehension? They aren't cheap! So, I had my students make cubes. We brainstormed questions and activities which help to comprehend the book/article students are reading. The students then chose some of the activities and put them on their comprehension cubes. We made a set for home and for school (no one wants to cart them back and forth - we all know how that ends up). 


Check out our cubes below! We made four total. Two for fiction and two for nonfiction texts.
