My Dream of Appreciating Diversity

by Rosshalde on January 17th, 2012 at 6:09 pm
Posted In: Education

Yesterday I wrote an article for the Teacher 2 Teacher blog about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Each year I am reminded and inspired by the commitment that Dr. King made to equality. For me, I feel that the best way to truly obtain, and maintain, equality is through greater exposure to difference we do not know – and thus an appreciation for others. Which is what I focused on in this article on diversity.

I came up with several lesson plans that teachers would utilize when studying Dr. King, or the Civil Rights Movement in general.

Teach Hub: Making Standards Work For You

by Rosshalde on January 12th, 2012 at 2:50 am
Posted In: Education

Before the winter break, I wrote an article for Teach Hub about How to Make the Standards Work for you. That article, really gets into specific details on how we, as educators, shouldn’t be afraid of the standards – but rather use them to our advantage.

A few people already commented on the article through Teach Hub. I’d be interested to see if your views are similar to theirs.

Get It While You Can

by Rosshalde on December 19th, 2011 at 5:50 am
Posted In: Education

Although most schools are out for the winter break (lucky ducks) – there are still some teachers trying to make it through. For those educators, you are really struggling to keep in your students’ excitement and energy. Maybe you have a shorter winter break, year-round school, or have snow days that you already need to make up. Whatever the case may be, take advantage of this incredibly big and well crafted set of lessons by fifty different educators.

Free December/Winter/Holiday E-Book

All of the lessons, ideas, writing papers, classroom management ideas (how exactly do you contain the winter break/snow possiblity/holiday excitement?), Christmas, winter, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Years ideas…so much.

This book is also great for homeschooling families or families that have kids at home now for the break and are looking for interactive time-fillers. Yes, most of the one hundred plus items are geared towards classroom school teachers – but that doesn’t mean with some minor tweaking that they can’t work at home. Plus, it isn’t just for little kiddos – there are tools and ideas that go all the way to high school; and cover a variety of subjects.

I know that this is my third (or is it fourth) email on the subject, but seriously no matter what I say – I’m underselling this. I don’t have a classroom anymore, and I’ve been using the materials. It’s great. And I just wish there was a way I could tell everyone who is a teacher or homeschooling parent about it. Plus, if I was wrong – why then has this book been downloaded over 27,000 times??? I know right, it’s great!

Big FREEBIE full of lessons

by admin on December 10th, 2011 at 2:27 am
Posted In: Education

Have you gone and downloaded the mega huge Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) book that is 100% completely free? Well you better get a move on. It’s already been downloaded over 5,000 times! Can you believe it?

Click on this link here, and get it all.

There were 50 different people who contributed to this masterpiece. Each person created a special page only found in this e-book and then posted up links to FREE (yup, more free stuff) of items that they created specifically for this project.

This is what my sample page looks like.

Pretty cool, huh?

There really is something for everyone – elementary, homeschool, high school, middle school, winter, December, special needs, Hanukkah, ESL, Kwanzaa, and Christmas.

It may take a while to get each particular item, but when there are potentially 150 freebies – I bet you can find the time to get them all. I am.

Here’s that link again, if you’re too excited to scroll to the top! ;-)

Games for Educators: Jeopardy in the Classroom

by Rosshalde on December 6th, 2011 at 5:57 am
Posted In: Education

Earlier this Fall, I wrote two articles for Games for Educators. The articles focused on games that can be played in the classroom. You can read the first one here , it talks about ways to bring games into the classroom.

The articles received such a positive response, that I was asked to write an article providing extra detail on the types of games I chose.

This past month I wrote a whole article on how to play Jeopardy in the classroom. You can read the entire article, here.
