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

She’s very easy to listen to. She’s fast and to the point. She doesn’t stumble on her words and has a LOT of real life examples of how she uses these strategies.

Cheryl – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner) – February 6, 2022

This is a great class. A ton of easy to do hands on activity. So often workshops are theory based. Those are good. But she gives many things to do in the classroom. Most are inexpensive and will be easy to implement.

I really like the multiple ideas to use in just a few minutes with kids. Many of these ideas are activities to have in your classroom, but it would be nice to see pictures of your classroom to picture just how some of these ideas are used, practically.
