REAL TEACHER TESTIMONIALS

☺ Teaching From Beyond the Desk said... "My students LOVE these attendance questions! There is so much laughter and giggles during our role, and it makes me smile so much more. My students disperse quickly (terrible schedule this year--we have specials in the AM. Yuck!) and this allows me to connect with each one of them during role--when I only have minutes with some of them before they leave."

☺ Elizabeth said... “I am loving this resource! I'm having the students talk about these questions with a partner first and then answer them aloud (in a complete sentence) for the class. Great practice listening and speaking and supports my English Language Learners."

☺ Karen said... “I absolutely love this!! It's so much more fun that "here"....and it makes the kids think! Love It!"

☺ Angie said... “We use these every morning. My students are very interested in each other's responses, and it spurs conversation with between students who don't normally converse."
