Brilliant idea Reynolds! It would also be helpful if you could bring on some math & science teachers who incorporate these ideas.

[@CJReynolds]

We were thinking of doing something like that as well. Hope we can put something together for you!

[@CoachDub]

I am happy to hear that because I am a Math & Science Teacher in Philadelphia and I want to be able to incorporate these ideas into those two subjects

[@LoveThemWell]

This is so good!!! We are reading the Bronze Bow. I just saw the drama teacher getting rid of old Roman props (armor, flags, etc…). Going this morning to retrieve them!

[@kristyvoss9204]

Great ideas! I have a "tea party" as part of my Shakespeare unit. I keep it simple, and (most) kids appreciate the food/drinks. I enjoy doing it every year.

[@hankmartin5907]

My fourth graders are writing "spooky stories" to practice writing narratives. I am definitely setting up a scary storytelling vibe in the room next week when volunteers share their final drafts for our classroom audience! I can totally see how that would transform a simple, positive time in the classroom to a much more meaningful experience.

[@CJReynolds]

That's awesome Hank! I'd love to know how it goes. Peace!

[@robertdufour2456]

Incredible! Yes, "small shifts"!

[@victoriaLL345]

Great idea!

[@nancybashista1390]

Thanks Reynolds and Samsung!!!

[@anitaweir1480]

Thanks for giving me back something I used to do!!!!!! Thanks for the re-inspiration of some great ideas to make school fun, instead of getting caught up in the curriculum and the timeline of getting to where the learning should be at that time of year!

The art teacher at my school (also my husband) can fashion long skinny balloons into many shapes. He has made me balloon swords for the fight scene from Romeo and Juliet between Tybalt, Mercutio, and Romeo. The students I have now still remember it when they had my class two years ago.

[@CJReynolds]

Those kids will remember that for the rest of their lives! Your class and family sound awesome!

[@lizzybalboa]

Loooooove the idea of the sound effects!

[@jalenacruse1125]

Do you assign the sound effects job to the student before class where they would have to read the section prior to research the effects? What sites do they get the sound effects so they come on at the right time and not a KZbin ad. Ha

[@scottaguirre1145]

All of this sounds amazing and I agree. Have you made a video of how much enrichment you can add with the very bare minimum a school gives? Very low income neighborhood in Los Angeles in the projects. I think we have a patch of grass somewhere?

[@theclassroommanagementguy]

My favorite idea was the sound effects job. That is absolutely brilliant. I teach United States History and I am thinking how I could incorporate that into my lessons.

[@CJReynolds]

Awesome! It is an incredibly fun way to pull kids in. I'd love to know how it goes. Peace!

[@dominiquederose4573]

could you share the video from kate the sleepy teacher where she flips the desks. I'm searching but could use some guidance

[@rebeccaharkins2058]

That board is really cool.

[@amyrogers6665]

I love this! I’m reading Legends of Sleepy Hollow with my 4th graders. You gave me the idea to take my class to the bridge that crosses a creek on our school grounds. Thank you!

[@CJReynolds]

Classic! I hope it's a blast!

[@ArtMusicHairMakeUp]

Absolutely Amazing 👏 my students and I are going to enjoy!

[@mariaspyrou338]

How do you achieve this when you teach math? Your ideas are really excellent but when it comes to math i really struggle to apply any of these

[@dominiquederose4573]

I had the best math teacher ever. She made everything into cheesy songs but it helped us kids to remember content that was necessary for math problem solving. She wasn’t scared to make a fool of herself and she inspired me. She brought a lightheartedness to math. Math can often be so serious, and students can get down on themselves. When a teachers start singing a cheezy song to memorize the skill, it made us all want to try again instead of getting down on ourselves.

[@stacywhite1280]

I LOVE the ideas for the sound engineer, but I have no idea how to find, store and organize sound effects in my classroom. How do you do this? I only have access to Google apps, wifi and a school laptop that doesn't let me install any apps or software. My large flatscreen is my only speaker and all sound is routed through my laptop. I looked into a sound board but can't go that route because it requires a driver to be installed and I can't be trusted with that ability, apparently. Help! My students would respond so much to this idea of incorporating sounds. :)

[@freddyoak_music]

Thanks for the suggestions! I teach special ed math (8th grade) and having a hard time translating most of these ideas to that subject area, especially considering the behavior and executive functioning challenges my students face. Any tips? (Or, is there another resource you know of that I should check out?) Thanks!

[@CJReynolds]

This is the second comment I got about this. Steph, I'm going to reach out to a friend of mine to figure out a way to help math teachers do something similar. Thanks for the idea!

[@freddyoak_music]

@@CJReynolds Thank you, wholeheartedly!

[@Goblin_Tank]

This is what I call guerilla teaching.
