Attitude of Gratitude
Attitude of Gratitude: Things I'm Thankful For

 

I woke up in a funk the other morning so I pulled the covers over my head trying to go back to sleep.  As I began to doze, my dog stuck her head under the sheet and I felt her cold nose on my leg. I knew that trying to stay in bed was futile, so I threw on some clothes and took her outside feeling frustrated and annoyed. As we began walking, the pain in my knee and heel started to subside and the phrase, attitude of gratitude came into my head as I realized how lucky I am to be able to walk, others aren’t so fortunate. 
********************************************
 
Multiple Ways to Multiply
When we spend enough time early in the year on place value and number sense, teaching multiplication and division go much more smoothly. Students grasp the concept of multiplication in multiple ways, so I try to introduce more than “the only way” to solve.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “We’re going on a bear hunt”

by Fun monkey bars
Pre-Kindergarten – 2nd Grade

“We’re going on a bear hunt” by Michael Rosen

Comic page with the six places they find along their way.

Pre-K to 1st grade for native speakers.

I use it to practice reading, listening, speaking…prepositions of place, going to, vocabulary about nature and environment… from 1st to 5th grade (ESL learners).

It is Black and white to print it and hand out.

I listen to the story on youtube (told by its author) or I read it aloud, then we sing a song (plenty of them on youtube). After that we do some crafts, writing (changing the animal or what they find along the way)…

Rachel’s Monster

By Gini Musmanno of Reading Spotlight

The first time I saw Rachel she was standing in the hall near her first-grade classroom door. Her eyes met mine, but she then turned her face to the wall. I did not know at that time she would become one of my first primary grade remedial reading students, nor did I know that she was repeating first grade–this is a story about Rachel’s monster.

“BOO” to Fractions? Recognizing Equivalent Fractions

By Vicky Rauch of Scipi

Math requires constant practice – something most of my students dread doing. I can find many “drill and kill” activities, but they tend to do just that, drill those who don’t need it and kill those who already know how to do it. So to drill and “thrill”, I created fractional word puzzles. The one for October is Halloween Fraction Riddles.
