Description

Busy-bags are all the rage with mothers of young children–they’re just a collection of activities that are easy to grab, low-prep, and able to amuse little hands and minds for a few minutes. Lisa Van Gemert’s five-minute opportunity strategies are a “bag of tricks” for educators to pull from, but rather than keep the student occupied, the strategies are meant to help you build a relationship and connection with them in those rare unfilled minutes.

This course will help you:

  • Get strategies to build a connection in a short amount of time
  • Understand the importance of trust for G/T students
  • Use music to create smoother transitions in your class

    I loved all of these ideas. I like how she mentioned Donors Choose. I feel like I want to go on that site and see if I can get all these items for my classroom!!!

  2. Clarissa – MERCEDES ISD (verified owner) –

    Great course

  3. Nancy – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner) –

    Useful information and good reminders.

  4. patricia – MERCEDES ISD (verified owner) –

    This course gives you great ideas about how to reduce stress and increase focus in your classroom. Even with more than ten years in the classroom, I came out with ideas I had never thought of. I also appreciated knowing why these ideas work.

  5. Kathy – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    I love all of the ideas to help students calm down, refocus, and enjoy learning!

  6. Darlene – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    The instructor gave a lot of ideas that could be implemented in your classroom immediately.

  7. Martha – NORTHSIDE ISD – SAN ANTONIO – REGION 20 (verified owner) –

    I loved the ideas and cannot wait to start implementing them.

  8. Cheryl – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –

    I think that the title was misleading. It was geared towards younger kids and teaching in the middle school age group, there is usually little time for these or not as much need for as many calming activities of this type.

  9. Hollis – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner) –

    Good ideas presented very well.

  10. Paula – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –

    Great ideas that can be used even in secondary classrooms. Can’t wait to try some.
