Today I introduced my “Pirámide de Participación” at school. It’s the crown jewel of my Spanish program. I’ve been tweaking it for several years and now I just need to make sure it works with over 125 students.
Of course the kick off was more hectic than I was hoping. But in the end I think it went well. A couple of my more reluctant learners were very engaged. They had a lot of questions and we’re already planning how they can strategize to win the most prizes. Some even asked if they could take books home!
I wore my Profe Pulpo hat in all its glory.
I had their boards ready in their hanging files.
And of course I had the library ready.
I really hope this year is a success. I struggled to keep up last year, and when I saw my numbers for this year I immediately started brainstorming ways I can streamline the process for larger classes. As I was telling the kids today., if everyone reads the required five books this year I’ll have over 600 responses to process. The reality is it will be more like 1,000 because many of them will do extra. It’s a lot. But hopefully it will go well and be rewarding for them and for me.
That seems like a lot of work in preparation and assessment! Good luck!
It is a lot. And I’ll probably need the luck so thanks. 🤣
Oh boy- this sounds like a lot of work for you! But I can tell how excited you are about this project. Your students are lucky to have such a dedicated teacher! Good luck- I hope it goes well.
IMPRESSIVE! Great for your students. And what a wonderful project you create and manage! A LOT OF WORK. Looks like fun for those learning too!
The amount of work that went into making this was massive. It’s nice to be able to reuse that part every year.
Impressive. I love enthusiastic, engaged teachers. (My sister is an elementary school teacher and so motivated and engaged and always comes up with such awesome class material).
And that hat…!!! 🙂
The hat is everything. I got it on Etsy and I love it so much.
Fantastic hat!
Wonderful!!!! What a great idea!
