Personal Agendas
By Laura

At my school, we have things called Personal Agendas. They are activities made by teachers in our building. Each year, each teacher can make up a few (2-4) activities to add to the personal agenda bin. Throughout each
trimester, 1-2 personal agenda activities will be counted as an assignment. Students don't know which ones though. These personal agendas are simply activities, worksheets, mini-projects, make flashcards, draw a map, come up with test questions, etc. I also got some Carson Dellosa File Folder games for 4th grade that I am going to add to the already 45 personal agendas. They are stored

in a crate of hanging file folders.

Each folder has about 7 notecards laminated with the activity explained and then supplies they might need to complete the activity. 7 so that more than one student can do the same personal agenda. Some may take a week to complete, some 10 minutes. All go along with the curriculum.

In order to get credit, or a sticker on their personal agenda folder (for a weekly drawing), students must bring the personal agenda to me to be checked. I can either give it an ok, or send the students back to correct it. They may not start another p.a. until one is finished correctly.

I am a new teacher, so I hope all of this made sense. My mentor was explaining this whole p.a. to me on Thursday, so hopefully I did not forget anything. If you have questions about all this, email me
