Reading Assignment
Submitted by: Jennifer
June 20th, 2010
Categories: 4th Grade | Reading & Writing
Estimated Time: 0-10 minutes
Description: For my homeschool student I mark start and stop locations in various books using the Post-it® durable tabs. Using green for the start and red for the stopping locations means that she has an immediate visual reminder of her assignment. Using durable tabs means that I can keep reusing the same tabs over and over, often for months!

Description: My students start their day with a prompt on a large chart paper. They then write their response and name on the Post-it® and place it on the chart. Sometimes the chart requires them to place the Post-it as part of a bar graph, or they may be used for students to share out what they have learned about a various topic in social studies or science. We sort them in various ways, use the responses to do math problems including addition, subtraction, mode, range, etc. This activity has been great to get my second graders writing, without having to worry about spelling. It also allows them to share something about themselves each day. They are always anxious to hear everyone's response when we go over them later in the day. This activity also is nice because it gives them something to do as soon as they walk in. I can then submit attendance and lunch count to the office while they busily get their post-it ready.
American Bison Activity

Estimated Time: 30-40 minutes
Description: Students were each given a Post-it® Note to write what they knew about the American Bison. They posted their ideas on the chalkboard. I then read about the bison as they wrote notes about the animal. After the reading, we went back to the board and moved the Post-it® Notes to a graphic organizer to show facts that were true or not true. We were also able to discuss which facts were about habitat, species (mammals), diet, how the animal benefited the Native Americans, etc. I found this activity can be adapted to almost any type of social studies or science lesson as an introduction and closure to the lesson.
