Fun end of year activity

So this activity is not really English related, but I still bet your kids would LOVE to do it on one of the last hot days of school before summer!

Making ice cream out of coffee creamer!

All you need is:

Cup with lid
Individual coffe creamer
Salt
Ice
Water
Straw spoons

All you have to do is:

Fill the cup about halfway with ice
Put in a dash of salt
Put in a splash of water
Put the lid on (I put tape over the straw hole)
Shake, Shake, Shake for four minutes (Seriously, keep shaking)

After the four minutes are up, take the lid off of your coffee creamer and if you shook it enough you should have a small taste of ice cream!

How much would any kid love that? Heck, it tickled me and I am pretty old!

Teaching Point of View with Video Games

I was looking for new ways to introduce point of view and I stumbled across a GREAT idea! Using video games! There are tons of video games in different points of view. Halo=First person point of view Mario 64= Second person point of view Tomb Raider=Third person limited point of view The Sims=Third person omniscient point of view A great video overview that I found:

Teacher tip: Paint Your Bulletin Board

One of the things that I hate every. single. year. is putting bulletin board paper up! It never fits properly and trying to line the various pieces of paper up is so frustrating as well! I tried many different solutions over the years. I tried sheets, I tried fabric, I tried shower curtains. Finally, I had an idea! PAINT (Cue hallelujah chorus music) I decided to paint my bulletin board with a pretty universal color that would show up in most borders or could transform into a specific background if need be. (I recommend a blue!) I got a quart of pain and a roller and I went to town! It's great! It doesn't need to be replaced, it doesn't fade in the over time, and it can be reused over and over again!

Lego Rewards for VIPKid or GoGoKid

So I was looking at the facebook groups today and I saw a lady who's daughter made this for the GogoKid lesson "Apple and Banana" and I thought it was just great! : Every slide (or every time a student does a good job) you could add a few more pieces to creation and have them guess what it is going to be! I started looking up other simple creations that my students always talk about and compiled a short list below! (Each picture is clickable for instructions on how to make them) I am sure that if you have children you already have these Legos rolling around in your house somewhere causing havoc on your feet. However, if you are like me and don't have kids yet, you might need a little bit of a starter kit! Click the images below to see them on Amazon.
