I'm doing 21 things
because I missed to TOC (Teacher on Call – which is what they call subs here) orientation in September, and I imagine that I will just get tossed into a classroom unceremoniously.
- do some internet research and create a little library of “interesting facts” and brain teasers / riddles that I might be able to integrate into whatever topics or subject the students are learning.
- look for some reader’s theatre materials for various age groups.
- find some resources / activities related to personal growth, intercultural understanding, anti-bullying, appreciating different perspectives… things like that.
- prepare some math games or activities: sets of tangrams, multiplication bingo, dice games, origami sheets and instructions, etc.
- collect a series of icebreaker activities which will be interesting even though the students all know each other. 2 truths and a lie and the toilet paper ice breaker are the only ones I can think of at the moment.
