You will be able to carefully build Paul Revere's house!
A great art project can be found in Hall #4.
Lots to explore at this website.
I was considering sending book baggies with leveled reading books home with my students to read and was wondering if other fourth grade teachers do this. I know it is common in primary, but when I mentioned it to my fourth grade team, they didn't seem very receptive. Thanks for your input!
I got an email from Scholastic that was promoting [link removed]?
Thanks!
I'm planning a science unit about soil. Would anyone be willing to send me a cup of dirt from your area? I need it labeled with just a little bit of info about where the sample is from. Thank you so much in advance for any help. Have a great day!

I've taught for two years and still really, really struggle with certain areas of classroom management and would love ANY advice on the subject.
I've just moved the past year and am now forced to sub. with lack of jobs. I find many of the problems I have subbing were the same problems I had in my first two years of teaching, and these kids have only known me for a day!
I should preface this by saying that my personality with kids is very over the top, I am very positive, charismatic, etc. while teaching which energizes the kids, but almost to the point of lack of control.
I find that with following behaviors I am either TOO strict or not strict enough:
Voice level of students Off-task behavior/talking to friends Silly behavior
I'm asking for ANY advice on how to handle these situations. Do you enforce consequences every time one of the above behaviors occurs? I know that sounds silly as the main thing is consistency, but many teachers that I have seen or observed aren't consistent and they just say things like "Bobby, now is not a talking time." Yet the kid stops... with me. I say that, enforce that, and they still come back and do it again.
So essentially, how do you handle these behaviors? I've tried so many things and I know every class is different, but I would like to know what has worked for you, over and over again as well as what your consequences are.
I stress consequences because I think I have a handle on rewards and positive behavior support. I do a lot of rewarding and recognizing good behavior and pointing it out to others. Maybe there is too much of a good thing?
All thoughts welcome!!!
