This single classroom procedure has made a HUGE difference in my experience teaching middle school. My first year teaching I didn't do this and I knew that something needed to change. I decided to put into a place a daily bellringer for every one of my classes. I am a Family Consumer Sciences teacher so I teacher 4 different classes!You can call it whatever you want to call it but I call it a bell ringer because my students are expected to be doing it as soon as the bell rings to start class.Her

I’ll be honest with you – I was a student who REALLY struggled with math in school. I couldn’t see how it applied to every-day life or other learning subjects. I know that if my teachers had provided me with this tool growing up, it would have been a GAME-CHANGER. I created this math tool

Hello darlings! Do you teach vocabulary to your students? I think this is one thing we are missing in the upper grades and we are doing a disservice to our students. As they move up levels in reading, the thing that I notice that holds my students back the most is the challenging vocabulary they ... Read More about Adding Vocabulary to your ELA Block

Sentence sticks work great to teach parts of speech: verbs, nouns, adjectives etc. Use it to make silly sentences or real sentences too!

It's not right.

Flip Sticks are an amazing participation tool for calling on students at random! The idea of using name sticks is nothing new. In fact, this classroom management strategy has been around for a long time. Unfortunately, what I didn’t learn until a few years into teaching, was how to keep track of which students had […]

So, I failed to get the Friday Flashback Linky up yesterday. What can I say? I didn't get home until 8:00pm yesterday and the brain was officially fried! If you were in the same boat, I hope you'll link up today! Here's a peek at our week... We've been LOVING poetry in room 205! This week we made these precious Poetry Pops to show that our Poetry is popping with onomatopoeia!! And, to review alliteration, we created these Alliterainbows! We've had a lot of fun locating these literary devices in poems that we're reading and also learning to use them in poems that we're writing! Both of the above activities will be in a new Poetry Packet that I'm finishing up now (as in today, I hope!) We've written a LOT of different types of poems over the last two weeks using our Poetry Styles #1 Unit and being inspired by authors that we've read. Here's a look at a few that are ready to be published. We've got even more styles to learn about and write next week, but once we're finished we will be publishing them into hard-bound books. They are always SUPER excited about this! Here's a look at a few of their covers that they worked on designing this week... I got a TON of these hardcovers from a grant I wrote YEARS ago and they have been fabulous. Unfortunately, I have now almost depleted my supply! {Maybe another grant needs to be in my future?} They are from Lintor Publishing if you're interested in them. They come with the binding paper to use with them. Poetry + Music (see my last post about my new Kidz Bop CDs) = student love.... This one put a BIG smile on my face because it was from a student who is not prone to writing "love" notes. And this one was extra special because she referred to a poem we studied in class about question marks being sea horses. And, well, because she loves me like her mom. Boy, do they know how to make you feel better after a L-O-N-G rough week! :)

If you've taught for any length of time, you've probably been questioned by a parent about your grading policy. I don't know about you, but my professors never discussed homework or grading policies when I was in undergrad. I don't remember my mentor mentioning it during my first year of teaching either. It seems like there is this "assumption" that you're a teacher, go forth and grade. An inconsistent grading policy across the grade level and within a school is just asking for trouble. It's like drawing a target on your back for parent complaints and friction within the faculty. If you've ever been on a faculty when they go through the process of adopting a grading policy, you will understand why administrators are reluctant to take on this task. I'm sure administrators feel like they have enough on their plate, so why borrow trouble. Have you heard of Rick Wormeli? Take a few minutes to watch this video. You'll be glad you did. He has several more videos on youtube that you should watch, too. His ideas are thought provoking, aren't they? One policy that I would recommend is the policy of my daughter's middle school math department. Students' homework is worth 5 points. Teachers give clear expectation about how to earn 5 points. Expectations include things like: name on paper, page #, write problems, show work and correct mistakes. As long as all of the expectations are met, students receive all 5 points. Please note! Getting the correct answer is not one of the expectations. They feel students are in the learning stage when they are studying the chapter and completing homework, mistakes will happen and the mistakes shouldn't count against them. At this point, making the effort and being responsible for their work is what is important. Each day, class begins with the students grading their own homework assignment (no papers for the teachers to grade). Students don't cheat because they will get all 5 points if they meet the expectations. Students correct their mistakes which helps two ways. The students will hopefully learn from their mistakes this way, plus their paper will have all of the correct answers so it can be used to study for quizzes and chapter tests. After grading papers, the teacher walks around from desk to desk with his/her grade book, looks at the homework, stamps it, and records the grade in his/her grade book. Less paperwork and an updated grade book, who could ask for more? The grades are weighted. The homework counts for 25% and quizzes/chapter tests count for 75%. I think this is such an important topic and feel we could learn a lot from each other. I would love to hear about your grading policy. I'm joining Joell @ Totally Terrific Teaching's linky party. You will want to bookmark her blog and check back from time to time to read all the posts as they are added.
