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

  1. Penny – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –

    Excellent. The instructor contributed a lot of opportunities for us to build relationships, connections, and help with students emotional well-being. I loved all of the sensory ideas, imagination ideas, concentrate and focus ideas, word or talk activities, and counselor based ideas…a little something for everyone.

  2. Janr – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –

    For early learners

  3. Veronica – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    The various tips helped a lot.

  4. Raul – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    Helpful meaningful relevant information

  5. Trish – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –

    The strategies mentioned in this course are more social/emotional learning ideas rather than things you could do in 5 minutes. I thought this course would include more academic based games and activities that could be used during those unexpected “down times'” like waiting for class pictures.

  6. Amber – WESTERVILLE CITY (verified owner) –

    These have really great ideas to add to your classroom to make it positive and responsive. Some of these ideas I already used, but there were so many more that I wrote down to help make my classroom a better place to bel and they are quick and effective. Glad I took this course!

  7. Karen – OLENTANGY LOCAL (verified owner) –

    I would give it 5 stars. It has a lot of easy, applicable ideas to use in your classroom.

  8. Peggy – MANSFIELD ISD (verified owner) –

    Love the ideas that can be used with all students in the classroom, hallway, transition time, etc.

  9. Sherri – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –

    Great ideas to calm students and build relationships with students!

  10. Kelly – NEWARK CITY (verified owner) –

    Some good ideas for students in the classroom
