One area I struggled with was differentiating throughout the day in all subject areas. I found myself struggling to find or create activities week after week, feeling overwhelmed and never caught up. Last year I implemented activity boards. These are boards that are displayed monthly in my room. The driving force of the activities are centered around a bingo card filled with activities that I want my students to complete. The activities range from easy to difficult to give students the opportunity to practice skills they need or to challenge and enrich those that are ready. Most of the time, my students will work on these during guided reading time, but they also can work on them if they finish their work early. I don't like "down time" for my students if I'm working with a small group or one-on-one, so this allows the students to take ownership in their learning deciding what they want to work on!
If you are interested in trying these activity bingo cards in your room, hop on over to my TpT store! Thanks!
