I realized that it is very useful to have an independent learning center in the classroom, with lots of task cards, clip cards! It is handy in encouraging students to learn independently. I am working on my own center. After I made my first clip card set I decided to fill my center with clip cards, because my students LOVE them. Have you ever used clip cards before? It is an awesome tool to keep children quietly occupied.

Vocabulary Games and Activities - Growing Resource
I am so happy with these classroom games that I made with my students at the end of the year. We made three games Bang, Vocabulary Tower and A,AN Articles this time. We are planning to make more of them, so if you have some ideas feel free and share with us in the comment section. Each of these games are made for vocabulary practice, but you can change the content and practice whatever you want: math, science etc. My idea was to review this year's vocabulary and to prepare some activities for the future in the same time. My 2nd and 3rd graders really enjoyed making all those word cards, flash cards. We made tonnes of materials together, so we are ready for the following school year. Finally, we have attractively decorated cans for our favorite classroom games. BANG is one of my students favorite game. I am also playing it with my kiddos at home, all the time.
