3rd Grade:

I had an instructor in my library program who was a big proponent of instructional design and for the class we were required to develop a lesson plan that taught lower elementary students a simple task.  We were told that we should repeat the lesson plan until students understood the task; one of the students asked how we would know that.  The instructor replied, “They’ll tell you that they’re bored.”

I’ve used the Bored Paradigm as I plan the OPAC Face-Off Game.  So far this year, I haven’t heard the I’m Bored Song, so I’ll repeat the game again this week.

Grades K – 2:

This is one of my favorite read aloud weeks of the year because this is the week I read “Froggy’s First Kiss,” a very popular book with the younger set. The lesson plan can be found here.
