Democratic Education and Children's Rights

by ThothboyAnak

Jan 29, 2011

Hi, I'm very glad to be here. I've recently started a website dealing with democratic education and children's rights. The basic idea is each week I will post ten links to articles, video/audio clips, and other resources on the web around ideas of democratic education, children's rights, listening to children, and children's participation. The link...See More

To Teach Fifth Grade or Younger?

by WilsonH87

Feb 2, 2011

I am currently a student in a MAT K-6 program and am unsure about what grade I would like to teach. I would like to be at a grade level that still enjoys coming to school and is still excited over activities. I have considered first or second grade, but really enjoy the criteria at the fourth/fifth grade level. If anyone with experience could give ...See More

Francie I just finished my tenth year teaching fifth grade. I love this grade because at my school the 6th graders are top dog, so the 5th graders are still sweet and have not discovered the opposite sex.

The fifth grade students are still respectful, and will listen to you. I teach the standards, but also try to teach values. I have a weekly wri...See More

Weekly Running Records

by Ruth

Feb 9, 2011

We are to take weekly Running Records and record and graph the level. The problem is that the accuracy level is way above the comprehension level. The students are reading on Level W-but comprehension is Level S. What do you do about comprehension? Do you ask generic comprehension questions? Ask for a retelling? When are the teachers supposed to fi...See More

50 States Game

by Mr. Larson

Feb 13, 2011

A game I made to help you teach the 50 states and capitals. The kids really like it and it helps them learn the states rather than just quizzing them like most games out there.

perfect animated cartoon for lazy students

by Randall

Feb 14, 2011

There is a new nine minute animated motivational cartoon, with original music, being used by teachers everywhere. "Your House of Education" touches on that simple yet profound question, "Where will you live?" (You are building it now!) It is turning on lights in the minds of students all over the world. They love it!

Pen Pals? Please read!

by Ms. O

Feb 14, 2011

I have a group of 10 students that could benefit from some motivating reading and writing, and I thought pen pals would be a good way to do it.

Anyone interested?

Maybe you have some students that get done with things early? Or some students that could use some new friends?

Nothing too intense! Just a few times back and ...See More

Running record on a seen or unseen text

by Ruth

Feb 27, 2011

Does the child read from a seen or unseen text when you record a running record? What is the value of each?

Unseen text usually you can evaluate how students use strategies to decode. I would use seen text to assess comprehension maybe, but not decoding strategies.

Prime and Composite Numbers activities

by Hutch

Mar 4, 2011

I'm looking for more prime and composite number activities. I've used Prime and Composite Lines (game) from pep non profit, but would like something else for my lower students. The game is awesome for my medium and high kids, but the low kiddos might need something in addition.
