by Lisa

Nov 14, 2012

I'm working on a project with picture books, but I own hundreds! I'm trying to prioritize. What are your favorite picture books that you use every year for teaching? I'd love your feedback. Thanks!

When to worry about letter/number reversals?

by Concerned Parent/Teacher

Nov 20, 2012

My little one continues to struggle with this. She'll be 8 in March. She is delayed in the areas of reading/writing, but on level or above in math, science, and social studies. She also has fine motor issues and saw an OT for quite some time.

My spouse experienced major learning difficulties in school. Therefore, I am leaning towards havi...See More

Sounds about right Keep an eye on the reversals. If they don't clear up by the end of 2nd grade then maybe, given her history, you should have her evaluated. They are completely normal through 2nd grade, though

Christmas Card Exchange

by TJackson

Nov 24, 2012

I am a second grade teacher in South Carolina. I would like my students to exchange Christmas cards and letters with students in a different state. This activity would be a fun way for students to recognize other childrens' customs, languages, traditions, and beliefs. I can't wait to hear from you!

math lessons

by Sharon/2

Nov 26, 2012

Last year I had no problems with math lessons, this year plenty.

I teach the lesson, I do the guided section, then the students are to work independently. I have 5-6 students who want to come sit with me saying they don't know what to do right off the bat AFTER I've shown them what to do.

So instead of being able to go around and ...See More
