Twister?!

I can't imagine how much fun it would have been when I was in school to learn my English vocabulary (or science, or math...) by playing Twister! This is one of the best ideas I have seen to help kinesthetic learners. It's always tough for me to come up with ways to get kids moving around while learning vocabulary. If anyone tries this in their own class, please leave a comment to let us know how it goes and if you have any suggestions to make it even more effective.

Vocabulary Paint Chips

So inventive! I recently purchased a new home in January. I was not allowed to paint because I was pregnant. Instead, my husband and mother-in-law generously executed our interior design conception in every room. We have a plenitude of paint chips in our kitchen drawer. Now I know how to up-cycle them thanks to Melissa Wade. Click on the paint chip to check out how she uses them in her classroom.
