TCAP Motivation

We will be starting our state testing on Tuesday. This is the best video to get student motivated for the TCAP.  

Here is a gift to the students from FESRO (Frederick Elementary Staff Rocks Out) in honor of the TCAP. A follow up to the smash hit "BieberSAP" from 2011.

Free Clorox Wipes

Two free canisters of Clorox Wipes for teachers

Teachers can get two free canisters of Clorox Wipes if they submit their Back-To-School List on the Clorox site and it contains Clorox Wipes.
This is available to the first 25,000 teachers who submit a qualified list.

Math Monday: Money

Money Time: With state assessment happening next week, we have been in review mode for about 2 weeks now. Our Kindergarten Teacher, Caleb Shehane, who blogs at Man Can Teach Kindergarten found a couple of songs on You Tube. One of our Math interventionist created a simple Market to Market Activity in order to practice money skills.

Bookmarks with Comprehension Strategies. I like to give each student a bookmark for their own book. (These are very helpful during literature circles.) Sometimes I have the students pair up and ask a question about a specific strategy, such as to inform. I find it very helpful to have them with the student as they are reading.
