Our Top 9 of 2021 [S3 E78]
Listen to the full episode below:
December is always the perfect time to reflect on the year that is (almost) behind you. 2022 here we come! If you haven’t heard of the “Top Nine” social trend, it’s a fun way to list any of your favorites from the past year.
We like to use the Top Nine activity with our students as well. It can be done with students’ favorite memories, accomplishments, texts, etc. The possibilities are endless! We thought it would be fun to list out our top nine favorite things from 2021. We’re broken these nine things up into three of our mutual favorites, Amanda’s top three, and Marie’s top three. We’ve chosen the categories of top book, top resource, and top recipe for our individual list of favorites.
We want to hear your top nine too! Tag on Instagram @bravenewteaching and share your list with us.
