Sitting in the doctor's waiting room. In pain. Waiting. Not fun. "Hey," Marc said getting my attention. "We need to do this before tomorrow." I gave him a look. I had no idea what he was talking about. He reached into his briefcase and retrieved the 2008 NCAA Brackets. "Yeah, let's do it now!" I… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day #19

Family Tree Book
Tomorrow's Interactive Read Aloud includes Alan Say's Book Grandfather's Journey. Since our IRA Theme for the past two months has been immigration, I thought it would be nice to end out the unit with a book that the kids compile on their families (sort of as an unofficial independent writing project). I'm giving these sheets… Continue reading Family Tree Book

Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day #18
How do you get kids to remember to add the remainder, not multiply the remainder, when they're checking their work? Well, I think I found a way while I was teaching today. (I never did this when I taught fifth grade, but I think it worked for fourth grade today.) Once I saw that my… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day #18

Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day #17
Math Game Creation Originally uploaded by teachergal I was home again today. Sleeping... Trying to get a doctor's appointment to nip this neck thing in the bud... After hearing that remainders were tough for my class today, I decided, at 6:45 p.m., to find some division games to help them nail-down their division skills before… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day #17

Writing Daily

She's had a lot of "stuff" going on, which she'll be blogging about as soon as she gets a chance, and she has found writing in her notebook… Continue reading Writing Daily

Stacey’s Slice of Life Stories from Days 13, 14, & 15
I've been feeling quite awful, as evidenced by the fact that I haven't been blogging. I wanted to quickly scan and post my SOLS from the past three days. Not exactly well-written or provocative, but this was all I could muster while feeling this badly.

Poetry Walking Tour
I'm thinking about stepping out with my students and their families this spring to do a walking tour of Providence. But not just any kind of walking tour... a poetry walking tour. (I've never done this before, but was thinking of sending a letter home like this next week.) Have you ever looked for poetry… Continue reading Poetry Walking Tour
