Springtime Stop Swap and Roll

It’s time for another Stop, Swap and Roll. This time around I was introduced to the phenomenal Alexandria Jackson from Classroom Action with Mrs. Jackson.

Classroom Action with Ms. Jackson

I visited her store, and I had a lot of items to choose from.   Since my school uses the Journey’s curriculum I thought I’d try her Gloria Who Might Be My Best Friend Supplemental Packet.

This supplemental packet had a bit of everything. Each week, most of my students receive 100% on their vocabulary tests. The only exception are my four weakest readers, and they truly bomb our vocabulary tests. I’ve tried a variety of strategies, but this week we used Mrs. Jackson’s engaging cutting and pasting vocablary activity that forces students to truly think about the words, by offering slightly different definitions than those that are in the reading book.

My weaker readers took their time with the assignment, and as a result they all received higher scores on our vocabulary test.
Her packet also had activities for my strongest readers.  I often feel the activities in our Journey’s workbooks are too easy for my highest readers.  Mrs. Jackson took care of that with several challenging maps and flow charts.  I especially liked challenging my highest students to answer several higher order thinking questions about the story in complete sentences.
My Students also found the new activities refreshing.  We enjoyed the supplemental packet so much, I already purchased one for our next Journey’s story.
