Teacher's Wisdom Link-Up
I am linking up with Deb from Fabulously First today for her Teacher's Wisdom linky party. My advice, although it sounds simple, took me a loooooong time to incorporate. For years, everything I taught was about curriculum, curriculum, curriculum. Don't get me wrong, of course we have to teach our grade level expectations, but I had to reach a balance between teaching kids and teaching what kids want to learn. Rich, engaging learning that everyone is enthusiastic about is so exciting! Especially if you are able to incorporate hands-on activities or technology.

I love it Kerri! I love how interest inventories give us a glimpse into our students' little personalities. I agree with Tammy purpose+choice=motivation. I love Deb's linky. It's helpful for all teachers!

Learning Is Something to Treasure
Great idea - not only the interest survey, but to use it to help your planning.
