  Case: No Fun in School
My principal is a firm believer in instruction from bell to bell. I teach in an elementary school and we used to have school wide celebrations for students who have met their Reading and Math goals. Now it is left up to the teacher but it has to be done during the students scheduled Activity time. I feel that some students could be more motivated if the fun was brought back to our elementary school. How do I get my principal to understand this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Plan educational activities that are fun AND meet standards. For instance, this St. Patrick's Day a leprechaun will visit our second grade class. He will leave a leprechaun book study. We will also complete data and fractions with lucky charms and finally do a science experiment analyzing the properties of a gold chocolate coin! The principal will have a hard time coming around. They have a ton of pressure on them from the county. You don't need a school-wide celebration however to have fun!!
