Busy Folder, Busy Student

Hi everyone! new post! woohoo. Ok, so, all of us have in our class those fabulous fast finishers. Sometimes we can get away by getting those students to help their classmates or even help the teacher. However, we can help those fast finishers and teach them to invest that little free time into learning more English, or whatever it is that you are teaching.

I am mentioning fast finishers in the post of "busy folder" since that is mostly how I use this awesome folder I made for my students. However, the busy folder can have many other uses and there are so many other variations of this teaching tool (busy folders, busy bags, file folder games) that you will be amazed. Below I posted some you tube links in order for you to see the myriad of options available  for teachers who want to create a busy folder.

Dr. Seuss busy folder (theme based busy folder)

Toddler learning folder (I used this one as the model for my busy folder)

Free Printable Preschool/Early Learning Homeschool Resources (awesome resource)

My very own busy folder is still in process of being completed. However, I have managed to include some of the most common topics I usually teach in class.

                             

     

 

Hope this is useful!
