Classroom management is the single most important aspect of any classroom. Without student cooperation, there is limited learning. Students have to be on your team to reach their full potential in today's classroom. This can be a challenge day to day, month to month, and year to year. We're always evaluating and re-evaluating our personal classroom management techniques as the year goes on. We strive to keep things fresh, fun and the kids buying in! This means we don't always stick with one ... VIEW POST
Cooperation Cubes…Classroom Management that Connects

We're in the middle of an epidemic, teacher friends. Yep...An Ignoring Epidemic. It's bad. Really, really bad... ...Wait...We're sorry...What did you say?

As teachers, we are constantly begging asking families to send in dry erase markers or stocking up during back to school sales. But, one of our biggest challenges is teaching our students how to determine when they need a new dry erase marker. We've learned over the years that the ... VIEW POST
Mindset Melodies – Simple Songs for Growing Mindsets
Growth Mindset is a hot teaching topic and one our school sent us off last summer encouraging us to learn more about. As a psychology major back in college, I knew this was right up my alley. I'd heard about the book Mindset, by Carol S. Dweck, Ph. D. many times, but I'd never found the time to actually sit and read it. Confession...I never did find the time to sit and actually read it last summer, but I did discover how amazing Audible.com is for this busy mom who spends hours in her car ... VIEW POST
