February 2015I Heart Teaching Elementary: February 2015
http://iheartteachingelementary.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 14, 2015. I wanted to stop by and talk about some things we did this week in 3rd grade to learn about fractions. Now this is the first year that I've had quite the struggle teaching this topic because they no longer teach fractions in 2nd grade. So they come with very little knowledge about what a fraction even is. I used ALOT of manipulatives: fraction circles, counters, and bars just to name a few. Fractions on a Number Line. To do a final review of number lines, I took string and hu...

Spark of Inspiration: November 2014
http://spark-ofinspiration.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. QReative Writing, the QR Code Method. Creative writing- it's one of the few times where kids (and us adults) have free reign to write pretty much whatever we want. BUT I'm pretty sure we've preconditioned so many kids to write like robots that when given opportunities to free-write they don't know what to do. How many times have you heard a student say, "I don't know what to write about.". Below is what she rolled and scanned:. There was not more hot chocolate. This was written...

First, we went over the steps for Rocking Comprehension Reminders. For some students, they just need visual reminders and to try it with short chunks of texts. A SALE, A SALE!

School Daisies-Spend a Day in Second Grade: December 2014
http://schooldaisies.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2014. During a normal holiday season I have so much to get excited about. Decorating the tree, Christmas light drives, baking cookies, sing alongs, Santa train rides with the kids, and that amazing Balsam Fir scented candle. This year I had one added thing to get excited about. I participated in the Spectacular Secret Santa! I got home one night and found that this had come in the mail. My Secret Santa (who I never met before) had given me the most perfect gift. For my special gift.
