Creative learning

Opportunities to learn about students in different settings of the classroom.

In dramatic play having culturally diverse areas of their interest, can involve cooking, jobs, or home activities—also materials they can choose from to show their knowledge, such as magnets. Reading areas will have culturally diverse books, and they can feel free to express themselves in art. In the focus subject area, they can choose what to focus on but will use play dough to express their thinking. Math counting, or reading, making something with playdough to show a connection to what they read.

This is a reading menu I came up with on Canva.com. I saw a few learning menus on Pinterest, but none of them had all the elements I was looking for. This gives students the opportunity to roll and get a prompt for a comprehension activity. I have geared this towards a 3rd grade classroom, but it could be adapted for younger learners as well.

Learning Menus and Choice Boards are assignments that allow for differentiation based on the student's interests. Prior to designing a learning menu or choice board, a teacher should use a learning inventory or survey to find out more about the students' interests and preferred learning style.

Here are some examples of learning inventories:

Here is one for younger students based on their favorite things.

Here is a learning style inventory for older students:

Learning Menu's are usually divided into three sections to differentiate for student's interests or learning needs

1. Appetizers

2. Entrees

3. Desserts

Students usually choose one item from each to complete, in addition, the teacher will also select one item students are required to complete.

Differentiation Using Learning (Assignment) Menus

Choice Boards: Tic-Tac-Toe

Tic Tac Toe boards are in the format of the child's game of tic-tac-toe from which they derive their name. The child may choose three activities in a row to complete out of the nine available choices. Tic-tac-toe boards typically take into account a student's readiness, as well as incorporating multiple learning styles.

Some tic-tac-toe board address each of Gardner's multiple intelligence: Linguistic, Logical, Musical, Spatial, Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal (Davey 2014)

Others Tic Tac Toe boards address different areas of Bloom's taxonomy: Recall, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating. (Clarke 2015)

I thought this could be a fun way to engage your students and also give them an opportunity to have some control in what/how they want to learn during reading tasks.

Perhaps this is more focused on older students but for someone who loved doing book reports I think this is the best way for students to choose something they are truly interested in.

I thought this could be good for any time when there is down time.

Here is some choices kids can make on a free day to wrap up a unit. I like the idea of giving the students freedom and allowing them to do things that interests them.
