Hello, thanks!! It's a website wheelofnames.com as soon as you get onto the site it gives you examples of names on a wheel, you just have to erase those and put all of the students in your class first names. When I'm ready to ask a question during a lesson I click on the wheel to spin it and the student whose name it lands on has to answer the question.
Love your set up videos. I just have a quick question, wheee do the kids sit/face during whole group instruction? This is my first year without a rug and I have no clue how to manage whole group without one! 😮
They sit in their desks, I’ve never had a rug. I just can’t do it, I want one but don’t at the same time lol. I tell them I’m always “tracking” their eyes while I’m teaching them whole group and they sit in a way they are all facing me at their desks. I don’t typically have behavior or distraction issues when I’m teaching whole group, I do a name generator so they are always alert because they never know who will get called to answer a question.
Teachers Pay Teachers have a desk fairy card that you can leave on their desk along with a little treat.
I made one I wish I knew it was on TPT, they LOVED it and most of them kept their desks clean all year!
Hi, love your set up videos… Can you tell us more about your name generator? Is it an app? Thank you… I hope you have a great year!
