Assessment Kit - Literacy and Numeracy for Foundation Students This product is an assessment kit that will provide a quick snapshot of your students progress. I have used this kit to assess learning at the end of term 1 and also in the middle of term 2. This kit has been used for Foundation students learning the Victorian Curriculum and Australian Curriculum. It assesses: Literacy - upper and lower case letter identification and sound recognition, writing their name, writing letters, writing words Numeracy - identifying numbers from 0-10, matching 0-10 to quantities, ordering numbers from 0-10, identifying basic 2D shapes, copying, continuing and creating pattens, sorting objects and writing numbers It contains: x1 A4 page Literacy Assessment x1 A4 page Numeracy Assessment Flashcards 0-10 - Numeral Flashcards 1-10 - Dots to count Flashcards Basic 2D Shapes Flashcards Upper Case Letters Flashcards Lower Case Letters I like how it can quickly show on 1 A4 page where the student is at and where you can focus on for future learning. Pages can be kept for teacher reference, stuck in students books or assessment portfolios. Hope you enjoy this resource!

Many parents and professionals ask me about the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading and spelling. It is a well-researched and multisensory way of teaching struggling readers. In fact, popular programs such as Lindamood-Bell, Wilson, Barton, Fast Forward, and Spire are all based on this incremental approach. What is at the Heart of the Orton-Gillingham Approach? I created the following infographic above helps provide an overview of the process. When was the Orton-Gillingham Approach Created, and Who Designed it? The Orton-Gillingham approach has been around since the 1930's. It was designed by a Samuel T. Orton, neurologist and pathologist, and Anna Gillingham, an educator and psychologist. They developed an explicit, incremental and diagnostic way to teach reading instruction for students with dyslexia. There are many programs that use this approach. CLICK HERE to see a list. Limitations to using Orton-Gillingham Based Programs: Although the programs available on the market today offer a well-sequenced, comprehensive, cookie cutter methodology of teaching reading and spelling, I find that the process can be long and arduous for some students. Many learners don't like completing workbooks and reading long lists of words. As a result, I suggest finding a professional that knows the Orton-Gillingham approach well and has the confidence and mastery to tailor individualized lessons for each student. In addition, I suggest using tools that strengthen the core cognitive skills required to read and spell as well as implementing games and fun activities that make the learning process motivating and fun.

Try this STEM Activity Challenge at home or in the classroom!! In this activity students will work in groups to design and build a small boat from aluminum foil. They will then see how many pennies it can hold before it sinks. The goal is for each student to work with their group to build and modify their boat to hold as many pennies as possible. Materials (per group, 3-4 students): 2 aluminum foil squares that are 15cm by 15cm (1 square will be in case they make a mistake or want to redesign their boat) 1 beaker or clear cup (to show the aluminum foil and penny sinking at the beginning of this activity) approx. 50 pennies (I put these in a small cup) A fish tank / large bowl for setting these in when filling with pennies (1 tank per class) Video Tutorial: https://youtu.be/KqeJr-eJe0E Available for purchase in my TpT Store: k-2 Grade Activity, 3-5th Grade Activity, 6-8th Grade - Student Worksheet - Teacher / Parent Instructions - Grading Rubric - Other fun and exciting STEM Activity Challenges! This STEM Activity Challenge includes teacher instructions, student instructions (worksheet), grading rubrics, a demonstration video for the teacher, a materials needed sheet, and the related NGSS standards! In the teacher demonstration video, I give you an overview of the activity challenge, talk about the materials involved and where to get them, demonstrate how to set up the challenge for the students, and discuss the science involved. Teachers have found these videos to be very helpful by showing them step-by-step how to run the activity and giving them a better understanding of the science behind it. This activity will challenge students to work together in groups to complete the given task. These activities are fun, engaging, and the students will learn science in the process. Group work and problem solving are at the heart of these challenges. Each activity challenge will end with a real-world research question, video, or activity. It is usually an extension of what the students just discovered and learned. The students will be involved, excited, and looking forward to future activity challenges in your classroom.
I am obsessed with this project. My roommate came home a few months ago after studying at the National Art Gallery with these little pentagons of pressed board with notches cut into them. And by studying, I mean building really cool sculptures that sometimes resemble female reproductive organs. I immediately decided that we would have to do this at the library and then almost as immediately forgot all about it. Until I saw a Pinterest post in which a mom cut narrow triangles in chipboard squares and let her kids spend hours just experimenting with the types of structures they could build. Supplies: -corrugated cardboard -paper cutter (prep) -scissors (prep) -paint (optional) Prep: Using the paper cutter, cut the cardboard into approximate 3x3 squares. I got 160 squares from an average size shipping box. Then, with the scissors, cut narrow triangles about a third of the way through on the sides on the squares. Go crazy with triangle placement, put two on one side, or snip out the corners. They don't have to all be the same, but the notches shouldn't ever go more than half-way through the square. Process: Lay the squares out and let the kids build! I presented my kids with a list of challenges to get them started... 1) Build the tallest structure possible using 15 squares. 2) Build the longest structure possible using 15 squares 3) Work together to build a structure with all the pieces 4) Build a structure that looks like a tree 5) Build one that looks like an animal 6) Build a structure where every square connects to at least two other squares. Optional: Once someone has built a structure that they're really happy with, let them paint it and take it home. Paint can transform the structure into a sculpture!
