early finishers
By Brooke

In my classroom we have several interactive bulletin boards, they are called Word Challenge, Math Mania and Super Spellers. The students can always read a book or do one of the bulletin boards if they finish early. We change
the boards each week. For example, this week on Word Challenge we have 10 words displayed and the students are required to break the words into syllables. They turn their paper in to the special word challenge container and we give them points. 1-2 correct 1point , 3-4 correct 2 points, etc. About every 3 weeks we total up the number of points the students have and the student with

the highest number of points gets a prize. Math mania is counting money this week and the Super Spellers is the same each week. They play memory with their spelling words. The students love doing the boards.
