Health teaching strategy for elementary kids?

We Answered:

You could have them get small cups of water. for each of them. Have them take the water and put it in their mouth and spit it back into the clear cup and pour the water into each others cups. Tell them that that is an example of germs from other people and that is why they shouldn't drink after one another, because it spreads those germs and they dont want to get those things in their bodies. After they do this the water in the cups wont be clear anymore. That would be something for older kids.

Elementary teacher needs help with math!!!!!?

We Answered:

Sounds like she might have something else going on. I'm not a teacher but I work on a Neurobehavioral Unit with kids that have major maladaptive behaviors. Have you heard of discrete trial training (DTT)? This website shows that it helps with autistic kids. Even if she isn't autisic, you might want to try it. DTT could be helpful to gain her attention enough to get her more motivated.

a question for elementary school principals or teachers about your school's literacy program?

We Answered:

you can call me Mrs. King from Little Rock, Arkansas.
I have recently completed my Master's Degree in Reading education from the University of Arkansas @ Little Rock. I have been teaching 1st grade for 11 years.

1. How does your literacy program meet the needs of all students?
I used the Balanced Literacy approach to reading instruction. It meets the needs of all my students by teaching to their instructional level. Running records allow me to make weekly assessments on their word knowledge as well as comprehension and fluency. I have had students in my class this past year span from below grade level to 2 grade levels above average. (Ending DRA levels 6 through 28). Balanced Literacy also allows students to work independently as well as in small groups. There is much individuality in this approach.

2. What components are in place for preventing reading and writing difficulty?
At our school, we have Reading Recovery, which is an intensive reading and writing program that is funded by Title I funds. We currently have only one teacher but will get an additional one next year. We also have a literacy coach, that works with a small group twice a week, mostly on writing, per my request. Our district has provided after school tutoring as outlined in the NCLB act, and I have also worked in the past with buddy teachers, in re-grouping for literacy instruction.

3. What support is there for intervening and accelerating the progress of students who struggle with reading and writing?
Currently, we have the support of our Literacy Coach and Title I teacher, and I have attended both professional development in reading and in best practices for literacy. With the NCLB act, those at most risk are assessed 2X a week with DIBELS, which is then reported to the state department.

If you have more questions, or if you'd like me to clarify anything, please email me.
