Hi Debbie,

Of course, we'd love to correspond with your students! I
expect a list of names by the end of the week. We could
exchange names then.

My direct email address is [email removed]

Email is the best way to get ahold of me since I'll be
switching buildings at the start of our sum...See More

I've been reading the posts dealing with Learning/Literacy
Centers, looking for ideas to use in my classroom,
teaching sixth- and seventh-grade Reading. In my research
for a book I used in the early 1970's, I came across this
site, which has pictures of various centers used in an
elementary classroom. I ...See More

While teaching 5th grade last year and the year before, I
learned more than in my whole long 6 years :) of teaching. I
had some wonderful teachers mentoring me as I was going through
National Boards. Here are a few I employed for reading and
science:

Summer School Centers 3rd grade

by Jessica Petrella

Hello, I need some ideas for my summer school readers. They
are going into third grade. I have only taught first and
I'm not sure if my things are too easy. What are some good
center ideas for them? They struggle with fluency and
comprehension mostly. Thanks, Jessica

A lot of your 1st grade ideas will work; you'll just need to
adjust the content. For summer, I'd try to keep it VERY
engaging (hands-on or kinesthetic). Here are a few ideas:

1. Have students use reading comprehension cubes or beach
balls rather than answering reading questions orally or on
paper. Y...See More

Math Centers in CoTeach

by Amber

Jun 21, 2007

/blockquote>

I am in a co-teach situation. We are going to teach 36
first graders in one room in the fall. Last year, we
tried to do math centers, but they were SO LOUD we could
not hear our small groups. The kids missed out on a lot
of manipulative and hands on learning. Does anyone have
any ideas how we can handle ...See More

jo/ma /blockquote>

I think the problem is having 36 first graders in one room -
that many in one room is bound to be loud! That said, here's
some ideas...

1- Try to section off the room with furniture as much as
possible- the furniture will help absorb the sound. If money
is no object, ask the administration to buy an...See More
