Since I don't have ready access to computers in my classroom (Title 1 reading teacher), I tried doing my *own* AR program in my classroom. Let me...
I don't think it is a matter of *can*. There isn't a set *grade* or *age* that determines student ability to touch type. Good typing skills are...
What an awsome idea for base 10 blocks! I was debating on buying a large set of the things this year, but I think I'll make them colorful paper sets!
It looks like things went really well! Maybe this little exercise will shame her into doing the "right" things in the future. I never even...

I fail to see the problem. We were told not to teach any new concepts during testing week. (What was needed to be taught should have already been...
Alternative but slightly more *evil* homework I *love* going outside to recess. If I'm not on duty I take a stack of papers to grade and enjoy...
If you are comparing the ides of sending your daughter to summer school and spending one-on-one time with her yourself, I'd always opt for the...
I teach in elementary school and I'm dating a High School English Teacher in my same district. Most of the time I think we get along fabulously,...
