I'm Ready Light

I was looking at TPT's Facebook page when I came across this:


I thought it was a great idea that I could modify for my classroom. 

I like the idea of putting a mini light on each student's desk. When there is independent work, students will turn their light on when they are complete. The teacher can instantly see who is still working rather than having to interrupt the class to ask the question. Also, once approximately half of the class is finished I can have finished students go and work with their buddies who are struggling (I am thinking about predetermining HIGH/LOW buddies this year).

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.

Backgrounds for VIPKid and GoGoKid

Okay, so right now this is what my background for my VIPKid and GoGoKid classroom looks like: It's cute and it's colorful, but it is just kind of blah.  You guys! I just discovered the coolest thing! Photo backdrops! You can transform your classroom into almost anywhere in the world within seconds and for under $10! Look at all the options! (Click on the pictures to see on Amazon) Those are just some of the backdrops I found within a quick search. Which one do you think I should get for my wall? I have also been doing some research on lighting and I have heard that this is a pretty good setup. Anyone have any other opinions?
