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

    A lot of good ideas

  2. Judith – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner) –

    A lot of the activities were focused on elementary students. A lot of the high school activities I have tried but needed a reminder. I am eager to again begin to do more of the activities next year.

  3. Brett – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner) –

    I really appreciated the different strategies provided and how they were explained. Top notch instruction. I Love Lucy, lol.

    Some of the ideas were useful, but her classroom sounds very busy to me.

    Interesting activities.

  8. Chris – CARROLL ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was great because it Incorporated many sensory ideas to relieve stress that may occur in the classroom. It also focused a lot on ways to improve concentration in classroom. Lisa does and amazing job not only explaining a ton of wonderful ideas you can use in your classroom but also provides resources so that you can turn around and use those ideas immediately in your classroom. Lisa is my go to trainer.
