Class? Yes!
K and I are so excited to finally have set up a blog to share our experiences with Whole Brain Teaching. We have spent so much time talking about what it would look like in our classrooms and now we have space to share our experiences with others.
During the first few weeks of school we have had so many positive experiences ranging from setting up our classroom to actually completing entire lesson plans in the amount of time expected. K has some pictures to show off how our rooms are set up with WBT strategies (our rooms look almost identical).
We both agree that Class? Yes! is an incredible and unbelievable effective strategy. In fact, I have been the one wasting time getting over my shock that every student has stopped talking and is looking at me waiting for instruction. There is no more waiting for students to finish their conversations with each other or asking (begging) please, listen. We say class. They say yes. However we say class is how they say yes. Perfectly FUN!! Start using this tomorrow. You won't believe how much more is accomplished in just one class period. The more you use Class? Yes! the sillier you will get, and the smiles you exchange with your students will get bigger and bigger each day!
