by Lonestar

May 24, 2014

Mnemonics

by Stacie

Jul 10, 2011

Hi! I am working on my dissertation on the use of mnemonics in third grade classes in math instruction. I still need some mnemonics that address graphing (bar/line) and addition with regrouping. If you have any that you use and would be wiling to share for this project I would be very grateful.

Thanks

by jksd

I am searching for a new read aloud for this school year as I am tired of my same old ones (Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Poppy, Little House in the Big Woods). What is your absolute favorite read aloud during the school year and your favorite read aloud for the first day(s) of school? Thanks!
