Is anyone using this with their Smartboard? Is it worth writing a grant for? How do you use it? Thanks
Hi - I need a behavior chart that I can send home on a daily basis to one child in the class. I would like to be able to add three objectives that the child needs to work on during the day.
Thanks, Sheila

Last week, I spent four days teaching a variety of methods of how to order and compare fractions and mixed numbers. Next week, we're going to be finding the greatest common factor by either listing factors or using prime factorization.

Next week, we're going to be finding the greatest common factor by either listing factors or using prime factorization. I have one class in which about half of the students are understanding all of this, but the other half is totally lost because they still don't know their multiplication facts and have no number sense at all. I teach all the skills, give them practice work, games to play to reinforce the skills, websites to visit, appeal to parents for help - but it's getting to the point where it's just SO over their heads that they have NO clue and are shutting down. I break them into groups, differentiate the intruction as best I can, and I have a math specialist that comes in twice a week to help out. But the problem is that in this one class it's an unusually large amount of students that are struggling. I can't not teach the curriculum because the other half of the class are functioning at a fifth grade level. Many of the students in this class are failing, and I just don't know what to do. I'm working my a$$ off keeping them after school, and other times where I can offer one on one or small group assistance and nothing seems to be helping. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
My students receive reading instruction separately, and I have to teach language arts skills. In your opinion, what is the best way to do this? Mini-lessons on a specific skill and then do creative writing everyday? Or do you spend more time with a specific skill (say, for example, possessive nouns), and practice that skill for most of the class pe...See MoreMy students receive reading instruction separately, and I have to teach language arts skills. In your opinion, what is the best way to do this? Mini-lessons on a specific skill and then do creative writing everyday? Or do you spend more time with a specific skill (say, for example, possessive nouns), and practice that skill for most of the class period? What do you feel is the most effective way to teach ELA? Thanks
I'm looking for methods to teach Spelling that worked well for your students. What type of program or lesson format made the best gains for your students? Any war stories are appreciated,as always :) Thanks in advance, Di
lease help!
I just don't know. I'm tired of fighting them for their papers. I have done this 16 years and never had this kind of trouble.
I have 5th graders and they just don't care. I write parents, call parents, tried rewards, sent them to the principal. What else am I to do?
I'm a sub with 15+ year's experience, and I'm in the 7th day of a situation in a 6th grade, and I've gotta say, I TOTALLY admire those of you who teach this grade level!! I am exhausted, I am drenched in hormones (I don't have any anymore), if one more girl rolls her pre-teen, overly- made-up eyeballs at me I'll rip them right out of her little hea...See MoreI'm a sub with 15+ year's experience, and I'm in the 7th day of a situation in a 6th grade, and I've gotta say, I TOTALLY admire those of you who teach this grade level!! I am exhausted, I am drenched in hormones (I don't have any anymore), if one more girl rolls her pre-teen, overly- made-up eyeballs at me I'll rip them right out of her little head, and if one more boy belches, laughs, and then says, most insincerely, "Sorry, Teacher!", I will fall down in a puddle and die.
There are 29 kids in a room that is the same size as the first-grade rooms. Many of them are nifty kids, but the few who aren't...oh, my!! Some of the girls display cleavage like they were being paid to do so, and of course the boys are falling all over themselves trying to look like they aren't looking.
You 6th teachers are a hardy bunch, for sure.
I teach fourth grade and have had a hard time with Writing. What do you use to help improve your kids scores? I was thinking of buying Melissa Forney's book, Writing Superstars. Is there anything else that you can think of that would be helpful to improve writing scores. HELP!
