Vaneesa, How do you assign your students to teams? Do they stay in the team for the entire grading period/year? Can you explain a little bit how you set up...
Johnna, How do you add a timer in PowerPoint? I use daily warm-ups and find that I rush the kids when I'm done taking attendance and doing all the admin stuff...

One thing I do when checking homework is to give out stickers to those students who have completed the required work. The kids are able to save the stickers...
Johanna- Although I agree with John about homework passes (I have allowed them for a 1 day late reprieve) I also don't want you to feel like hiding because you...
Perhaps a better approach would be to employ a trick commonly used in politics and law, and define the issue in terms of the positive, instead of the negative....
