Attention-Getters Freebie

So, I am WAY out of actual work mode.  You know, where you have to set an alarm clock and actually get dressed and drive to work.  Ugh!

That's not a good thing since I'm teaching 7 workshops this week! As much as I dread the act of actually getting up early and going, I am excited to share how we teach reading with other teachers!

Most of the workshop are on teaching reading through genres in the primary classroom, but one is about Whole Brain Teaching so I finally got those attention-getters into a printable file and thought I would share them with you!

Just click the image below to grab them. :)


Oh yeah!  And, those sweet instagram friends who have been helping me look for a rug...I found one!!  I bought it today...it's a very neutral berber rug (8ftx12ft).  I'll take a pic soon!  Still need two smaller (4x6 or so) rugs - one bright red and one turquoise, but I am relieved to have found the large one!  Whew!

Also, thanks to everyone who offered to partner up with me for the pet pal project!  I have found a partner, but if you were interested, feel free to comment away on that post - there were several others interested in partnering up with someone else!

  4. These are so cute! I NEED more attention grabbers in my repertoire. I think there might be a typo, though, on criss cross applesauce. When I downloaded it, it says criss croos?? Do you see it too?

    1. Agh! Thanks, Angie! I caught that in the "proofing" stage (as you can see the preview is fixed), but I must have uploaded the wrong one! It should be fixed now...grab it again!

  14. These are awesome!! I have not heard many of those you included, so looking forward to trying them out. I get stuck using the same old one (1-2-3 eyes on me: 1-2 eyes on you). The kids are VERY responsive to it so having new ones to add to the repertoire will be great!! Thank you so much for sharing!

  15. These attention getter posters are great. I started using WBT last year and loved it. These will be great to add to the rule posters and class/yes that I used last year. Thanks for sharing your freebie.

  40. Thanks for the posters. I have been reading a book this summer called Brain-Based Learning With Class by Colleen Politano and Joy Paquin (Peguis Publishers, 2000)which talks about managing the "states" of your students so they are motivated and ready to pay attention before you begin to teach a concept. Seems like these attention getters would do that in a fun way.

  46. Thank you for the posters! I love how bright and cheery they are.
    I also use the attention getter where I say, "1, 2, 3, eyes on me." The kids say, "1, 2, eyes on you."

  48. is there a way to get a few blank that we could add new attention getters into (or send them to you for you to create with your template?) I love these
