Homeopathy, What Is It?

By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern

In addition to teaching, for a good part of my life, I have also been interested in alternative medical practices that include: homeopathy and holistic medicine, as well as exercise, yoga, qigong, meditation, aroma therapy, reflexology, massage, acupuncture, acupressure, and more. Through personal experience, I have seen that these practices can have a beneficial impact on the health and well being of those who use them. I am convinced of their effects

Be-Leaf Me! Fall is Great! Using Leaves in Science Investigations

By Vicky Rauch of Scipi

When my husband’s Aunt Sue moved to Florida, she would send home some strange requests. One year, she wanted us to send her a box of fall leaves. Since Florida lacks deciduous trees, her students were unaware of the gorgeous colors produced by the trees up north. The only problem with her request was that the leaves we sent would be dry and crumbling by the time she received them. What to do? Find out in my newest blog post

FREE MATH LESSON – “FREE Addition Dice Game and Recording Sheet”

This entry was posted in 1st Grade 2nd Grade MATH LESSONS and tagged free on September 5, 2020 by Patrice Manchola (updated on August 28, 2020)

by Lisa Rombach

1st – 2nd Grade

This simple addition dice game helps students practice addition facts (sums of 2-12), comparing 2 numbers (more / less) and counting by 2 to add.

The game involves rolling 2 dice, recording the numbers, comparing the numbers and crossing out the number that is less, re-rolling the lower number, adding the final 2 numbers, comparing sums (awarding points for the sum that is higher) and finally, adding up the points by using counting by 2 to get the total.

Each player can use a full page recording sheet OR use the 1/2 size (2 sheets on one page).

This game is can be differentiated by using different dice (with larger numbers or dots vs. numbers).

I hope you enjoy the FREEBIE!

Update Jan. 2019. At the request of a TPT buyer, I have added a simplified recording sheet. Students just need to roll 2 dice and add the 2 numbers. 🙂

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Nonsense Word Fluency by Ms. Lendahand (Monster – Robot Theme)”

This entry was posted in 1st Grade 2nd Grade Kindergarten LANGUAGE ARTS LESSONS PreKindergarten and tagged back to school free on August 27, 2020 by Patrice Manchola (updated on August 21, 2020)

by Ms Lendahand of Lendahand’s Printables

Pre-Kindergarten – 2nd Grade

Nonsense Word Fluency. Help students improve CVC phonics skills by classifying words as either real or nonsense.

This is a great Nonsense Words Activity that may be played independently or with a partner. It’s a wonderfully simple game that is virtually prep free for the teacher, but it is also fun, easy and enhances both phonemic awareness and phonics skills. Even the most shy of students will get verbal with this game!

There are 10 mini word cards featuring Consonant Vowel Consonant Words. Students simply select a card from the top of the card pile, classify the word as either a nonsense or real word, then write it.

The fun comes in when the student holds up either a MONSTER or ROBOT to represent either a NONSENSE or REAL word.

This activity is ready-made. Simply duplicate, laminate a few pieces and get a few kids together and let the play begin! (Use popsicle sticks to attach to the monster/robot pictures to make them into little puppets…)

Hope your kids love this game:)

Five Assumptions about Distance Learning-Why it’s Not Working for Every Child!

By Vicki Rauch of Scipi

My husband and I have taught together for over 80 years. We continue to do so because we love what we do; however, we are very disturbed by the terms Virtual Learning or Distance Learning or On-Line Learning. Now don’t get the idea that because we are “old”, we don’t or can’t use technology. Technology is part of our lives, especially in our teaching, but when we hear Distance Learning, many people make assumptions that simply aren’t true.

Do you struggle with keeping your students organized throughout the school day or during a lesson? Do they have difficulty figuring out what materials they’ll need? Start using Google Slides™ to help them stay organized!

These FREE Assignment Slides/Morning Meeting Slides are a SIMPLE and effective way to keep them on track without you having to repeat yourself 100 times!

I love to use technology to make my life a little easier. That’s why I like to display our class agenda or schedule on our interactive white board. Students can quickly see what we have planned for the day and any important materials they’ll need. You can even use student instruction slides for each subject or lesson. It’s a great way for students to stay on task and look back at any directions or instructions you gave at the beginning of the assignment or lesson!

Check out ALL my classroom slides HERE!
