I love the idea of using a scavenger hunt for Elementary Students. Not only does it get them up and moving, it also can be an assessment tool to see where their understanding is https://padlet.com/lauren_houser/pmwifbtrfe8fxc7o/wish/749834477 2020-09-15 22:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_houser/pmwifbtrfe8fxc7o/wish/749834477 https://padlet.com/lauren_houser/pmwifbtrfe8fxc7o/wish/773829043 Absolutely love the scavenger hunt idea!

Ask the students to chime in and develop what should be a list of classroom expectations and rules. Rules for kids now turn into Laws for when they become adults. It's a good habit to form when they are younger to follow a civilized pattern. ]]> 2020-12-11 19:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_houser/pmwifbtrfe8fxc7o/wish/1011213905 1,2,3, All Eyes on ME https://padlet.com/lauren_houser/pmwifbtrfe8fxc7o/wish/1011220430 I use the 1, 2, 3, All Eyes on ME and it works pretty well from the younger ones to the older ones.
