Turn and share

Discuss ways you can engage your other 80% during intervention time.

Content IdeasWork in small groups to work on presentation

to share with rest of class. This would work best for 3-5 in the classroom. For 1-2, the students would need adult supervision such as parent volunteers, specialist, or assistants.

Content Ideas

VocabularyMake index cards with word and picture on

one side and definition on the other. Students make extras for those in Intervention groups.

Students use a flipbook to write the word on one side and an illustration/definition on the inside.

For social studies, students can use flipbook to write about important people: who are they, when they were important, and why they were important.

Make and Take Foldable to show understanding

• Fold paper hamburger style.• Fold paper hamburger style again.• Fold left side to meet right side.• Unfold last two folds.• Tear down the middle to the first crease.• Unfold all the way and then refold hot dog style.• Hold onto the outer edges (left and right) and

push the paper towards the middle.• Fold into little booklet.• On front cover write or illustrate the main

concept you are learning. On the following sheets, write words or ideas that you want to remember.

• Students now become the teacher in small groups.

Content Ideas

Make a Menu Board with various websites on it. These should be websites that give the students more information about what they are learning or a place to experiment with what they are learning.

Choose one activity from each course to learn about volcanoes and earthquakes.Volcanoes and Earthquakes

Content IdeasRead a book that you might other wise not

be able to fit in.Have the students write about what they

have learned about the content.

Have the specialist show how content applies to their area of expertise. (i.e. show on map where an artist or musician came from and it’s distance from USA when doing map study.)

Turn and ShareDiscuss some ways you can extend content in

your school with the other 80%.How can you involve the specialist or

volunteers?

I have an idea!

Math Ideas

Math GamesProvide them with logic activities for them to

do individually or with a partner

Math IdeasUse menus (Decimals/Money Grades 3-5)Students play store with coins to purchase

things and learn to trade coins. (Money Grades 1-2)

Concentration Math (Memory)- write a math problem on one color of card and the answer on another color. Students play the game by choosing a math problem card, figuring the answer, and then choosing an answer card.

on the cards.You can use these cards in many ways. We

are going to play 2 games using the cards.I will say a number and you need to arrange

the cards to show that number.Turn all the number cards over. Leave the

addition symbol turned up. Turn over 2 cards and give the sum of the cards.

able to use with your other 80% with parent volunteers or in the classroom?
