Summer is officially over, and I've had my first two days with students. I needed a name refresher activity that my students would enjoy, and "Jump In, Jump Out" was the perfect start to our school year. When a sixth grade student lingers after class, beams, and exclaims, "Thank you! That was SO much fun," you know you've picked well. There are different versions of the poem floating around, and there are different ways to perform it. I usually tweak things a bit, so I came up with the following format: Class: Jump in, jump out! Turn yourself around. I said, jump in, jump out! Introduce yourself. Soloist: (Class) My name is__________ (yeah) And I like __________ (yeah) And I can __________ (yeah) Class: All right, all right, all right! Circle game: Jump in, jump out: everyone jumps in the circle and back out Turn yourself around – turn in place one time Jump in, jump out (repeat as before) Introduce yourself – one student steps to the center of the circle to speak the solo part. (I placed a polyspot in the center and instructed children to step to the spot to speak.) Class answers each statement with, “Yeah” and copies the action of the soloist on “All right, all right, all right!” Repeat poem with the next person in the circle stepping forward as the soloist. Continue until everyone has had a turn. Students can add claps or teacher can add a drum to help them speak in rhythm. Here is a video of 4th graders and 6th graders demonstrating the game: I created a PowerPoint presentation with a few examples for students to read and practice speaking in rhythm. I displayed the final slide with blanks for them while they played so the soloist could look at the lyrics if they needed assistance. The complete PowerPoint presentation is available at my TpT Store: Jump In, Jump Out PowerPoint Presentation Teaching Process: Teach poem by rote, using the first lyric slide and completing the blanks with personal information. Demonstrate speaking in rhythm and performing an action on the “I can” statement. Lead the class in reading the next 3 slides together in rhythm. Divide into two groups and take turns reading the solo and class parts. Point out the option of “My name is” or “My name’s,” depending on which works best with the name. Display the final slide with blanks. Instruct students to think of what they plan to say for each blank. Remind them the “I can” statement should include a movement for students to copy. They should silently practice speaking the poem in rhythm while they wait for everyone to get ready. Students could also practice with a partner to make sure they are prepared with good choices.

Eine Geburtshoroskop-Lesung ist ein kompletter Augenöffner zum Selbst und zur Identität. Die Landkarte zeigt die Sterne und Planeten zu deiner Geburtszeit und ist somit ganz persönlich. Eine Interpretation Ihres Diagramms kann Ihnen etwas über Ihre Persönlichkeitsmerkmale erzählen, wen und was Sie lieben, Stärken und Schwächen, Ihre Arbeitsmoral und vieles mehr. Ich beschäftige mich seit zwei Jahren mit Astrologie und habe es in einer Zeit gefunden, in der ich mich völlig verirrt habe. Mit einer Geburtshoroskop-Lesung begann eine lange Selbstentdeckungsreise, die mir sehr geholfen hat, zu wachsen und zu gedeihen. Mein Ziel ist es, meine Liebe zur Astrologie zu teilen und anderen zu helfen, wie es mir geholfen hat! Ich vervollständige jede Lesung 100% selbst. Stand jetzt biete ich drei Lesungen an: Drei-Fragen-Lesung - Zusätzlich zu einer Liste mit allen Ihren Planetenplatzierungen, Winkeln, Hauptaspekten zwischen diesen und den Wohnräumen werde ich drei Fragen zu einem bestimmten Bereich Ihres Horoskops beantworten: Karriere, Liebe, Familie usw. Dies ist Eine großartige Option für diejenigen, die gerade erst lernen und neugierig sind, aber nicht komplett eintauchen möchten! Big 6 Reading - Dies ist meine Interpretation Ihrer ""big sechs"" Planeten- und Engelsplatzierungen, zu denen Sonne, Mond, Merkur, Venus, Mars und der Aszendent gehören." Diese Punkte werden als einige der wichtigsten Teile Ihres Horoskops angesehen und sagen Ihnen viel über Ihr Selbst aus. Diese Lesung beinhaltet keine Winkel oder Aspekte, aber die Häuser-Standorte. Big 6+ Legung- Dies ist meine Interpretation deiner „großen Sechs“ Planeten- und Engelsplatzierungen, die in der vorherigen Lesung erwähnt wurden + die Planeten der äußeren Generationen, weitere Winkel, Häuserorte von allen und alle Hauptaspekte zwischen diesen. Wenn Sie neugierig auf einen bestimmten Bereich Ihres Horoskops sind, kann ich einige Asteroiden einbeziehen, von denen ich denke, dass sie für die Lektüre von Vorteil sein könnten. Dies ist die ausführlichste Kartenlegung, die ich anbiete und die am meisten von mir empfohlen ist, um ein volles Verständnis von Ihrem Halsband zu bekommen! Wenn Sie kaufen, vergessen Sie bitte nicht, die Informationen auszufüllen, die ich benötige, um Ihr Diagramm zu vervollständigen! Bitte beachte dies ist eine digitale Lesung! "Ich muss die Lieferung als ""physischen Artikel wird versandt"" erstellen, aber ich werde die Kartenlegung per E-Mail oder eine andere Form der digitalen Kommunikation erhalten, die Sie bevorzugen." Danke fürs Durchlesen <3, NeptunianMars
