This post has nothing to do with teaching and everything to do with the fact that I’m pregnant. Eeeeekkkkkkkk!!!!!!! We’ve been trying since August, which I know is nothing  compared to some, but felt like an eternity to someone that’s been ready for it! So, if you came to get a teaching idea, come back […]

Book Study: Worksheets Don’t Grow Dendrites: Chapter 4

March 10, 2015 by ·

I think that we all know that this is something that is so important in the lower grades. I do think that art of play is lost as the demands in the classroom become more of a focal point. I love the quote, “Using game formats encourages students to cooperate with one another, helps them […]
