Estimated Time: 10-20 minutes

Description: Before students begin reading a fiction/nonfiction selection students brainstorm words that come to mind when looking at the material they are about to read. Give the students about 10 mins to come up with as many words they can within 10 minutes. The students should write each word that comes to mind on a separate sticky note. Then have the students rearrange them to form a paragraph predicting what they are about to read. Save the arrangement of stick notes so students can compare their prediction after they have read the article/story.

Estimated Time: 40-50 minutes

Description: Children PK-5 (up to 100 at a time). 12 different stations set up in a circle so the children will be able to follow the circuit consistantly. Each station will have different fitness activity with a Post-it® Note describing the activity such "jumping rope" with a picture and description. The children will change stations on the cue of the music. With larger numbers the children can work the partners. The great thing about this activity is, you can change the stations by changing the "POST it" notes. All the children are movin' and groovin' and getting the exercise they need. You can also use the "POST it" notes when introducing this activity using a "Thinking Maps" flow chart.
