When you learn, teach." Maya Angelou. Presentations and Contact Info. Tuesday, September 16, 2014. In Search of the Perfect Room Arrangement. When I moved to my new room, I also inherited a teacher desk, a nice new teacher desk by the way. . . with nice drawers. I haven't used a traditional desk for years, but it was. Nice to have the drawer space. So I kept it. . . and felt guilt about the enormous amount of space it took up. Then one day it hit me! Now what to do with that extra computer table? I have ...

Flipping with Fisher: Place Value and TodaysMeet
http://www.flippinginfifth.com/2013/08/place-value-and-todaysmeet.html
When you learn, teach." Maya Angelou. Presentations and Contact Info. Saturday, August 17, 2013. Place Value and TodaysMeet. Last year I made a place value chart and glued those orange wooden base 10 blocks to the chart to represent ones, tenths, and hundredths. You know the ones I'm talking about. If you teach primary, you probably give the tiny cube a value of "one" while in intermediate (or at least in fifth grade) that tiny cube represents "one hundredth. 10 times bigger”. Just like the song. Using T...

When you learn, teach." Maya Angelou. Presentations and Contact Info. Sunday, November 9, 2014. I found these free Multiplication Multiples. On Judy Hopf's Teacher Pay Teacher Store. I knew I wanted to use them in my class but wasn't sure exactly how. Then it hit me! Have you ever used number ladders for students to learn their facts? I must say up front that I am not a fan of timed test. OK, I feel better now. Having said that, each child takes a test for whichever number they are working on....Once ...

When you learn, teach." Maya Angelou. Presentations and Contact Info. Monday, October 6, 2014. I am linking up with Deb at Crafting Connections to share this Reading Comprehension Anchor Chart.

Strategy, then you will recognize this as a simplified version. Their answers, students simply write the corresponding paragraph #. October 6, 2014 at 6:27 PM. The most ...

Flipping with Fisher: Follow Your Gut!
http://www.flippinginfifth.com/2015/07/follow-your-gut.html
When you learn, teach." Maya Angelou. Presentations and Contact Info. Sunday, July 5, 2015. Just this week alone I have read 3 different posts on Twitter about how Minecraft, @MinecraftEdu, has improved students' reading comprehension or math skills. Every time I read one of these posts I can't help but think about Isabel. If I were to be completely honest I'd have to admit I was afraid. Yep! Our class was only 1 of 2 classes in our entire school with a class set of iPads, so I felt like I had a responsi...

When you learn, teach." Maya Angelou. Presentations and Contact Info. Thursday, October 23, 2014. A Poem About Reading: Today Was a Good Day! I looked around my room today and what do you suppose I saw? Children deeply engaged in reading. I was totally in awe! Is it always like this, you might ask? No, they're children, at times they get off task! So exactly what do I do? It's simple, I give them the freedom to choose. Which books they want to read. And where they want to sit. Do I have to redirect them?

Flipping with Fisher: January 2015

When you learn, teach." Maya Angelou. Presentations and Contact Info. Saturday, January 24, 2015. For some strange reason I was laying in bed thinking about dresses. I don't own many dresses and the few I do own are all different sizes reflective of (how shall I say this? How large or small I have been throughout my life. Even though I have donated a lot of my clothes from time to time, for some reason I still have different sized dresses hanging in my closet. The problem is they simply don't fit. Maybe ...

When you learn, teach." Maya Angelou. Presentations and Contact Info. Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Today was the beginning of my summer break and after I woke up naturally (no alarms going off) and took the dogs out, I sat down at my computer; just to see what was happening in the world. And I am so glad I did. First, I ran across a post about the different types of blended classes, which got me thinking about my flipping experience. Actually, it probably worked out better for this age group. They could w...
